''The Realm Online'', originally known simply as ''The Realm'', is a second generation MORPG (multiplayer online role playing game). The Realm was launched in December 1996 for Windows PC〔http://www.gameogre.com/realm.htm〕 It was designed in the tradition of graphical MUDs, before the popular usage of the terms "massively multiplayer" and "MMORPG".〔http://mmohuts.com/editorials/oldest-mmorpgs〕 Originally published by Sierra On-Line, it was abandoned by that company because of its unfavorable comparison to ''Ultima Online'' and ''EverQuest''. It was next taken up for a short time by a company called World Opponent Network which was also owned by Sierra On-line, then Codemasters, and presently is a Norseman Games production.〔http://www.gameogre.com/realmonline.htm〕 == Gameplay == ''The Realm Online'' uses turn-based combat, which makes it different from other MUDs of its generation,〔 and is convenient for players with a bad Internet connection.〔http://www.gameogre.com/realmreview.htm〕 it has been credited to be the first virtual world to use instances, with every battle taking place in a special room outside of the open world. The game has been criticized for its unforgiving character creation: a character that hasn't been created optimally can't reach maximum potential.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Realm Online」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
