The Realm Online, originally known as simply, The Realm, was the first ever MMORPG (Massively-Multiplayer-Online-Role-Playing-Game) to be released for the personal computer. At the time, the phrase MMORPG had yet to be coined. It was originally designed and released by Sierra Online, (now Sierra Entertainment), near the end of what has been said by many fans to be the end of their original glory days (the years prior to the 1997 departure of founders Ken and Roberta Williams). Until he left, Ken Williams was the Executive Producer of the game, which was still indicated in the credits of a 1998 CD-ROM version of the game. Over the next couple of years Sierra and Codemasters continued to develop the game extensively before Codemasters took over all operations in 1999. In July of 2003, the game was purchased by its current owner and operator, Norseman Games.
