Summary: Fantastic game
Review: The Realm is a fantastic multi-player on line role playing game. It has the very best chatting features of any game of this type. Buy EQ if you want fantstic graphics, buy realm if you want fun, friends, chatting, and a great community. Don't miss out on this game!!! and accounts are cheap!!! w00t!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't bother.
Review: This game has seen it's glory days, a long time ago. Yes, it used to be fun when it was new and all, but it is not an "ever evolving world" any more as they proclaim. It has very redundant game play and the updates are less than substantial. Customer Service is less than helpful, as can be many moderators. Customers are treated like peons, even outside of the game. Don't waste your money.

I will say this, though. If you're looking for a place to chat, though, I'll give it 5 stars. But for a game, it's a definite 1.

Summary: A Waist
Review: This game is a COMPLETE waist of time, money, and thought.

It is mainly run by unfair GM's with a god complex, to even begin a trial acount you have to hand over your credit card number, then for some reason beond human comprehension you decide to pay for this "game" the first rule you break will result in a warning, followed 10 seconds later by a disconnection from the server, only to find you have been susspended, however breaking a "rule" is not that hard, seeing as the player policy is written so, that the moderators are always right, despite any ammount of bad judgement.

In my experience acceptable reasons for a susspension-

1. Questioning a moderators action
2. Answering a question on the "Help" channel before a guide
3. letting your 4 year old child "spam" a moderated channel ONCE with "fdgjklkdg sgfs sdfsjlk"
4. Asking the "programer" when he will fulfill his promises

And should you decide to pay for another account after being wronged so, a bannable offense is killing a guide, or moderator's player cahracter for "screaming" obscinitys at you.

Thank you, Realm Team! for my enjoyable experience on this horrendously outdated game.

Summary: Keep Coming Back!
Review: This game is a great game! i dont know how else to put it, i've been playing it for a long time. and from time to time i'll take a break from it but i always come back, and the great part is its cheap so its not costing me much when i dont play. ive purchased 3 accounts and group with myself to go hunting. the pvp isn't as great as it was but its better then any other game. its turn-based fighting is optimal for pvping because it takes strategy to win in a fight not quickness of the mouse clicking. i reccomend getting this game, more updates come monthly and sometimes weekly. another great thing is how much you can distinguish yourself from other players and feel individual in the game. the chatting is great and you'll make a lot of friends. seriously!

Summary: Very Bad= 0 star
Review: This game is horrible. I'm amazed that this game is still on the market. It's a very simple RPG where you equip your sword and click the "attack button" and that's about it. The graphics are simple and the sound is MIDI. To give you an idea on how bad it is, i've played games from 10+ years ago with better graphics, playability and sound. You then slowly gain experience and fight stronger monsters which all appear the same. Now for by far the worst part of this game..You have to pay a fee every month to play this game.And to make matters even worse, you will have to deal with game moderaters that will suspend your account for things you wouldn't imagine were against the rules. You will have to learn the rules the hard way since most of them aren't written in the code of conduct. You will have to deal with hackers crashing the server to they can steal accounts, dupe and disable accounts with their auto anti-hack software. If you want a game that's better in every single way, then try diablo 2. The graphics aren't that great but the community is huge, the game is free to play online and the sound is decent. And you won't need to worry about your account being suspended unless you are caught hacking.

Summary: Outdated, Boring, and Very Bad Customer Service
Review: This game is more like a free chat channel that's moderated by abusive ops than an actual game. When you get booted from IRC you move on without much regret, but when you pay $$ for a game only to get the same result, you may become angered as I have.Despite the moderation, this game has very little to offer, the game updates are only once in a blue moon, the graphics stink and the gameplay is quite repetitive and boring. Unless you have a 10 year old computer ( which can probably handle this game) and you don't mind frequent account suspensions, I don't recommend this game at all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Easy to learn, fun, online Role-Playing game
Review: This game was orignally created 5 years ago and is still going strong after so many years. Many of the players who were there when it first started are still playing now. Although the graphics and sound may not be the most updated and 3D as some of the more recent online games, this game still is one of the more interesting games around. The upcoming storyline sounds very interesting and will add a whole new dimention to the game.

It's chat interface makes it easy to interact with other players on the Realm, which is one of the nicer features of the game. It keeps people coming back. Some people on the game don't actually go adventuring, but use it as a chat server.

...this is one of the cheaper online games you can find. However, if you want complex gameplay and fancy graphics, you're best off with another game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One or the Other
Review: This games manages somehow to split people fairly fast into two extremes. I personally found this game entertaining, fun, cheap and also easy. Its a game you can leave and return to....you don't lose the overview and you can make some great friends there...the chat system is well thought out. I've left the game a couple of times, but always returned. I am well aware its not top notch when compared to new or more widely played games (i.e. graphics and the such like) but thats what makes it easy and comfortable to come back to. I recommend this game for easy, fun, and mostly stress free gameplay with a strong side of player interaction.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Osbelete and Corrupt
Review: Unless for some strange reason you enjoy torturing yourself, don't buy this game. The game consists of power abusive game moderaters who completely ruin what little fun you could have. Just for your knowledge, the community is small and there are always moderaters lurking around, even at 3:00 A.m. In game moderaters don't promote freedom of speech, they don't allow disputes or anything of similar nature. If you break these rules, you will get your account suspended at the very least. When game suspensions are active, your counter is still running. It costs [money] a month and suspensions usually run from 14-28 days at the very least. At minimim, a suspension will suck [price] out of your wallet and will only result in anger towards Codemasters for allowing such corrupt moderation. Not only will your wallet get sucked dry, but you will eventually realise how much time you wasted towards this game.
Now time for the actual gameplay review despite the corrupt game moderation. The Realm was released in Feb. 96 and is still virtually the same thing as it was then. No serious updates have been implemented since then. Most of the updates are hacker fixes and there really is ONLY 1 programmer/implementor to this game. The original owner of this game was SIERRA and when they realised that the game was out of date, they sold it to codemasters hoping they could turn it around. The game was only considered average for its time (96) but in this day in age, i'd consider it completely terrible. As an experienced user of this game, i'd say my review reflects an accurate description of this game.
