Hear ye, hear ye, brave souls of The Realm!


The artificers of the Arcanum are proud to proclaim that the new game client has been forged in full and is now available to all citizens of the land. No longer a mere prototype from the alchemist's bench — this is the official release, tempered by the trials of our valiant beta testers and deemed worthy of the realm at large.


What has changed beneath the stone and steel?


The ancient engine that powers our world has been reforged from its very foundations. Where once the realm's memory could hold but 65,535 objects — a limitation wrought by the 16-bit bindings of old — it now commands over one million simultaneously. More creatures may roam the wilds, more enchantments may shimmer in the air, and more treasures may fill the coffers of the realm, all without the cursed "handle exhaustion" that once plagued our lands.


How to Obtain the New Client


Simply open the Digital Alchemy Beta Launcher and select the visage of Mabon. The fully released client now awaits thee there — no longer a release candidate, but the genuine article.


A Toast to Our Testers


The Arcanum raises a goblet to the courageous adventurers who braved the pre-release builds, reported the bugs lurking in dark corners, and helped forge this client into what it is today. Your service to the realm shall not be forgotten. Now go forth, adventurers. The Realm awaits — stronger and mightier than ever before.

We’re excited to roll out a new Release Candidate (RC) client that nearly completely resolves the handle issues many players have experienced.

While this version still has a few bugs to iron out, it’s now available for testing in the Release Candidate tab of the launcher, and we’d love your help putting it through its paces.

🔹 How to Access the RC ClientClick the box icon with the TRO shield in the launcher to switch to the RC client.

⚠️ A Few Notes

  • This build is still in testing and may contain bugs or unexpected behavior.

  • If you encounter any issues, please report them with as much detail as possible.

📢 Report Issues

🛠 Important:Please launch the RC client through the launcher each time you play, as we are actively pushing frequent bug fixes and updates to this version.

Thank you for helping us test and improve the client! Your feedback helps us get the next stable release ready faster.

If you'd like, I can also make a more “game-flavored / MMORPG style” announcement that fits the tone of your Realm server announcements better.
