Greetings Realmers,

Amazon is having issues with their S3 service which causing the launcher to hang on loading the feed list. The work around for this time is to navigate manually to game directory and launch the game: C:\program files (x86)\rat labs\the realm online\FF

For now keep on eye on the AWS service to return and then the launcher should function normally. You can monitor it here: https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/

Sorry for any inconvenience and we’re working a solution for future issues.

Regards,
TRO Staff

Hello Realmers,

Today we are excited to release our seasonal Halloween content patch! In addition to the existing seasonal content, we are bringing in some new spells and a revamped dungeon. Read below for all of the details!

Seasonal Content

Our seasonal content for Halloween is back!

• Explore the open world zones: Fallows and Konge
• Spelunk within Hallows End, a Halloween-themed dungeon
• New Halloween pumpkins available from your local Farmer's Market
• New Halloween baldric and masks to be found
• New event items added for Fall / Thanksgiving

Church of Damnation

Church of Damnation has been revamped to be a sister dungeon to Holy Caves (sharing some of the same loot tables). The layout has been "adjusted" with some tricks in store courtesy of Duach.

New Spells

• New Spell: Dark Bargain - Rank 7 Necromancy spell which will either deal damage or heal all in the combat cloud based on their alignment. The strength of the damage is exponential based on alignment.

• New Scroll: Scroll of Memory - Used in combination with the Memory spells mentioned above. Sold in shops

Miscellaneous

Hello Realmers,
