New Client

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A Proclamation from the Arcanum of Digital Alchemy

Brave adventurers of The Realm,

The artificers of the Arcanum have toiled long in their workshops, forging a mightier engine to power the world ye know and love. Through ancient arts and no small measure of sorcery, the very foundations of our realm have been widened from 16-bit to 32-bit — a feat once thought impossible!

What does this mean for thee?

Where once the realm could hold but 35,000 at any given moment, it may now command over one million! More creatures, more enchantments, more treasures, more of everything the realm has to offer — all without the dreaded "handle exhaustion" that has plagued our lands.

How to Obtain the New Client

This build is available now through the Digital Alchemy Beta Launcher:

A Call to Arms

Take heed — this is a pre-release build, forged in the fires of progress but not yet tempered by the trials of brave adventures. By installing this Release Candidate, ye join the ranks of our most valued beta testers. We humbly ask that ye report any bugs, oddities, or arcane mishaps ye encounter so that our artificers may mend them swiftly.

Should ye discover a dragon where there ought be none, or a door that leads to the void — tell us! Your reports are the hammer and anvil by which we shall forge a stronger realm for all.

May your journeys be fruitful and your framerates ever high.

— The Arcanum of Digital Alchemy
