Greetings fellow MMO fans.
This is one of the original MMOs, released in 1996 by Sierra On-Line. It was a masterpiece for a myriad of reasons despite its well out of date graphics/mechanics, etc, but I don't care about any of that. It has mostly survived for two decades now, but the current ownership is letting it die away slowly and not taking care of it like they originally set out to do when they purchased it years back.
Having said all of this, I recently found a forum of former players and game enthusiasts who are eager to see the game back to what it once was.
I would urge former players or those who might be interested in it to vote for the title in GOG's wishlist. GOG is such an awesome platform and while I'm not expecting anything to happen miraculously overnight, you never know, with enough buzz and votes, who knows what could happen.
The Realm is the definition of a Good Old Game and GOG could really do well with an old-school MMO like this in terms of promoting it to the community, so I figured it was worth a shot.
My idea (hope) was to get GOG to purchase the original IP, which cannot be worth all that much as it currently stands, and then to sell the game at a flat price.
Thanks for taking the time!
