I haven't personally played The Realm Online, but I know someone who had. What a scummy move from Norseman Games.

Well, shit. While the game could mostly be seen as a living museum and hardly attractive to new people, it's a sad thing to have so many updates and free access axed because "fuck you". I bet they'll completely shut it down 4 months after going subscription only, because "it's not profitable" (no shit!)

This kind of thing makes me so angry. If the game is so old, how is it hurting anyone to reverse engineer it and keep its tiny group of fans happy. I know the answer. It's rhetorical.

Used to play this a lot back in the day. It was very cool at the time, much like a MUD with basic graphics.
