[edit] Story?

The quoted story appears in a number of places, but it's really just the story for City of Bywater. Realmz itself is essentially a game engine rather than an actual game. Now... I'm wondering should the page just explain this, or include all stories of official scenarios? Tropylium 22:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Realmz is a game. But Bywater is just one of many offical scenarios for Realmz, and yes ..that does need to be taken into account, and the other scenarios need to be mentioned. --Naha|^(talk) 21:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Nearly the entire text of the Story section, starting with "The City of Bywater is an honest city", is taken verbatim from the official Realmz web site, on this page: http://www.fantasoft.com/realmzdivinity.html. Shouldn't it at least be put into quotation marks with a note as to where it came from? Or, probably better, replaced with completely original text?

By the way, Bywater is just one scenario, but it's the only scenario that everyone plays -- because it's the introductory scenario, and the only one you can actually play before you register the game. -- CWesling 22:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Since nobody responded about the copyrighted material after nearly a month, I rewrote that section. -- CWesling 06:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Realmz Wiki

Apparently Realmz just got its own Wiki a few days ago. There is not really any info there yet, but I thought I'd mention it here. In the future it may become a good resource if people contribute. realmz wiki --Naha|^(talk) 22:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Future of Realmz

Tim Phillips is no longer developing Realmz, and part of the Realmz community has been working on a new version that supports today's modern operating systems and improving parts of the game. Not sure if the wiki is quite "public", but more information can be found under the Yahoo! groups "Realmz" and "The Fate of Realmz".

I will add a small blurb about this.
