What's new in the realm

Creatures now drop armor and weapons that match their level, in five tiers, with armor sets that grow stronger the more pieces you wear. Far-away trees and rocks are lighter to draw, and View distance is back in Settings.

Inside a dungeon you now have your bag, hotbar, spells, tonics, chat and party list; doors open when a room's boss is down; and the dungeon's trader sells.

Your health and your power now grow with your level, a creature's level tells you if you are ready for it, and your bag shows your Health, Attack power and Guard.

Dungeons play from the portal to the last boss, items have pictures in your bag, lakes and islands are rounded, and the world ends in cliffs and mountains.

Lakes and islands are rounded, woods and fields have soft edges, the world ends in cliffs and mountains, and roadside fences can be knocked down.

The five dungeons now load and play once you step through the portal, with a party of up to five.

Point at anything to learn what it is; a short guide shows the first time you meet something new; and your quests always say what to do next.

Ask anyone about the dungeons, the shipwrecks, the megalodon or the ballgames, and they know the answer and the way.

Ask anyone where something is and they point the way with an arrow on your map; the Sunfish Isles' sea comes alive with shipwrecks and a megalodon; towns fill with people; and Lotus River, Emberfall, Thornwood and Sundown Gulch look the part.

Five dungeons to clear with your party, each with its own story, bosses and a legendary reward the first time; a new touch layout for phones and tablets; and the caves, mines and other material sites rebuilt.

A third camera view, every vehicle crossing into the next zone with you, a new map with travel, a drive-in theater in every land, more creature camps out in the country, and smoother play.

Nearly 2,000 new things to find, fight, catch and furnish with, 2,000 new lines of goods at the town stalls, new guides and tips, and about 175 fixes.

A Trading Post in every major town to bid, buy and sell with other players, merchants in every town who buy and sell, a purse of points on every quest, and the Trade Token.

A new trailer on the home page, and a "meet me here" ping or a Home stone trip now reaches your family as well as your friends.

Team up in parties and share quests, climb to level 50 through five new material tiers and new caves, mines and quarries, ride a dragon, and on the Builder tier build anywhere in the realm.

On a computer with Graphics set to Medium or Low, opening the realm could show only the sky and the lamps. The ground, buildings, cars and people now draw at every setting.

Everything you carry is in one bag you can sort and search, new bridges reach the islands, the harbor has a marina with boats, jet skis and kayaks, and the boats out at sea can be sailed.

Conversation messages now stay locked until the townsperson starts replying, preventing accidental double sends.

The pet menu now fits phone screens safely and its phone controls are easier to tap.

Build Mode can now move and copy what's on your lot, undo and redo, and save a whole layout as a template to place again.

Look for a Dandytuft in the tall grass during the Tallgrass Plains herd count.

Campers' Clearing now has a richer mossy fire ring.

Small fixes and polish across the game.

Build on your lot in Build Mode: pick a piece, see where it fits before you place it, turn it and flip it.

Trees give logs to a hatchet, the crafting stations are inside shops, fishing has a rod and a cast, slow traffic and moored boats can be driven, the store is easier to find your way around, and town roads have sidewalks.

The quest arrow now points to the rock, tree or workbench a step needs, quests say which skill level they need, and cars are their real size.

The people in the frontier towns now talk about their own work and sell their own wares, and the food stalls in Lotus River and Encore Heights serve their own local food.

Boats around the Sunfish Isles now sit in the water instead of resting on land.

NPC names and role labels now stay fully visible near the screen edges.

Every zone of Majic Realm now tells its own story, and its last quest sends you on to the next zone. Every skill has its own page showing what it opens, where to train and the tools you need.

Settings now opens in five tabs with proper buttons and smooth scrolling, a helper in Settings answers questions about the game, and parents choose whether a child under 13 talks with AI characters.

A long answer in the chat window now shows from its first words, and sign-in is better protected against guessing.

The map zoom buttons now stay visible and clickable while panels are open.

Press E next to someone and the chat opens right away. Chat is safer for families, monsters fight back properly, and older phones and tablets can play.

Tokens you buy with money can now pay for something new to be built, a refund takes back only what was refunded, and your balance is yours alone to see.

Sunfield Park's field stays clear: no animals, stones, logs or loot wander onto the grass or into the stands.

A small fix behind the scenes to how the newest places are built.

A full ballpark in the south-east of Tallgrass Plains: a mowed field with its diamond, two decks of seats under a canopy, a big video board, bleachers and a plaza facing the town.

F is the jetpack in every world now, and attacking is 1 or a click everywhere. Also carries the tidier store tabs.

The store tabs line up evenly on every screen, and the boards and helmets tab is now simply Gear so its name fits.

Fixes the screen layout: the action bar, chat and bag were showing as plain text in both worlds after the last update. Escape also closes the Quests and Skills panels now.

The Settings button no longer disappears behind the card collection book on small screens it stays visible and clickable.

Seven new lands join the map: ride dinosaurs in Thunderfoot Valley, meet dragons in Kindlecrest, sail to the pirate islands of the Sunfish Isles, and saddle up for Sundown Gulch, Tallgrass Plains, Lotus River and Encore Heights.

Behind-the-scenes work: our AI art studio wastes fewer pictures, and every update is now built in a locked-down space before it goes out.

Lots now come in ten sizes, from a tiny shack or cabin up to a big-box store or a whole mall, ready for the new lands.

Ride a skateboard anywhere, hunt for the rare hoverboard, race the Keep Circle Sprint, take the free launch out to the carrier, and see what the cargo ship brings home each voyage.

Fixes and polish from our AI test players' notes: people finish their sentences, Enter always opens chat, Pip's tour card is smaller, panels stop overlapping, the bag shows item names, stores get a search box, and nights can be brighter.

Behind the scenes, the world can now grow past its old edges, so the new lands can join the map without moving anything that's already here.

Country roads bend between towns, six roundabouts join the zones, and 13 trails and paths lead to the lakes, the Watch Stones, the picnic ground and the Smugglers' Cove.

Walking into a zone a few minutes after you'd left it on another device or tab could put you back where you were before. Fixed in both worlds.

Ride motorcycles, climb aboard the cargo ship, land a jet on the aircraft carrier, and see new real models for aircraft, cars, rocks, trees and crafting stations.

A meet-me ping now reaches your friends and family wherever they are, with a card to teleport straight to you.

Fixes from your reports: the ground no longer vanishes in rain or at night, E gets you into a car, the bubble shield ends on time, every townsperson answers when you talk, guards stay off the road, and the screen's panels no longer overlap.

Friends show on your minimap as hearts, press T to show friends and family where to meet, mute or block anyone from their name in chat, and country roads light up at night with fireflies over the grass.

The Majic Realm trailer is on the home page: one minute in the realm, from the town and its characters to snow at night.

Characters and bots answer you first: our AI machines now hand the next free slot to a player within about a second. Some parents' settings now ask you to sign in.

Mine ore, chop wood and fish, then smith, craft, cut gems, brew potions and build: eight new skills with tools, workstations, potions and new pieces for your lot.

More people wander every town, friendly test bots are around at all hours, the top menu fits any window, and search engines and share links now show Majic Realm properly.

The people walking around town look as good as the main characters, and they greet you, chat with each other and react to what's happening around them.

The sea, lakes and river look like real water now, with waves, foam and sparkle, and your dog, horse or fox follows you in for a swim.

Look for the gold ! over people's heads: they have quests for you. Follow stories through every town, do three daily quests, and earn rewards and titles to wear under your name.

Late at night you might meet a player tagged <Test bot>: our AI playtesters walk the world, try everything and report what's broken so we can fix it fast.

The AI art studio's street furniture (benches, lamps, planters, fountains and statues) now finds its way onto the streets and plazas, and into your build list, and buildings get their own windows and trim.

At the drive-in you can now ask for the next video and the whole lot votes, and when someone chats with a character, everyone nearby sees the conversation in speech bubbles.

Chat with any character like you'd chat with a friend: they answer word by word, stay in character and remember you next time. And you can now switch on lamps, close windows, carry and throw things, and sit almost anywhere.

The drive-in theater now plays favorite YouTube videos, like MrBeast, Caylus, KPop Demon Hunters songs, Bluey and Sesame Street, and everyone in the lot watches the same moment together.

The AI art studio now spends much of its day on the world itself: more detailed walls and roofs, roads and plazas, shop fronts, signs and murals, and it works about twice as fast.

Our sound studio now makes the world's sounds: animals, wind and water, doors and lamps, and footsteps that change with the ground under you.

Our game has a new name: Majic Realm. Same world, same characters, same account: nothing to do on your end.

The realm's characters now speak their lines in their own voices, and our new sound studio adds fresh sound effects and ambient sounds to the world every day.

The game runs much lighter on older iPads and small phones, with a new Low-power mode and a loading screen that shows real progress.

Upload a picture on your profile page and it becomes your avatar on the site and in the game, after a quick check. Or pick one of the drawn avatars.

Children under 13 can now sign up with a parent's consent, and grown-ups get a new For Parents section at the bottom of every page.

Cars slide and crash for real, vehicles are tougher, planes fly properly, the game feels smoother, and you get a map, a shield, a heal, visible shots with aim help, and much more.

A new Skills panel tracks everything you get better at, the Ability button now casts eight spells, and Create something new is open: order an object and the art studio builds it on your lot.

Townsfolk now live by the clock and notice you. Four more towns have a court or pitch, and a townsfolk will play against you when you start a match alone. Plus tidier buttons on phones.

The townsfolk, bots and players have new, better-looking bodies with more variety, and three new outfits are in the store: the Princess, the Nurse and Emerald Aegis.

The Realm Daily now opens right in the game, and it's filled every day with things to wonder about: the sky, the seasons, the ocean, water, and pictures from space and museums.

High five, wave, cheer, scare or dance with anyone nearby. Ten new dances to unlock, townsfolk who join in when you chat, and three heroes who patrol every town.

Shoot hoops at Lamppost Court in Basecamp and kick a ball around Hollow Green Pitch in Greenhollow, alone or with anyone who joins.

A new Family page links a parent's account with their kids' accounts, so you can find each other in the realm, jump in beside them, and always land in the same copy of a zone.

Your swing now shows while you run, holding Attack keeps attacking, and one button brings every vehicle you own back to its lot.

Found something broken? Press F2, or Report a bug in Settings, and the game sends us a picture of what you see along with where you were.

The world now remembers where you were. Log off, reconnect or come back tomorrow and you're in the same zone at the same spot, with everything others built while you were away.

The whole site is new: bright pages with real pictures from the game, a short menu, and a full How to Play guide with a section for parents.

Ride the ferry from Saltmere's Long Pier out to the Beacon and dive down to Coralhaven. The sea is full of boats, surfers and jet skis, and there's a new beach club by the lighthouse.

Install the game on Android, bigger and clearer touch buttons, a HUD size you choose, and nothing overlapping when you turn your phone sideways.

Got two of the same critter? Swap one with a friend standing nearby - you both choose, you both press OK, and the trade happens in one go.

An Unstuck button, world-event news at the top of the screen, the action bar out of the way, the item you hold in your hand and on your Attack key - and left click to swing, right click to build.

The Home stone now lists your homes first, then one spot for each town you have visited - no more long lists of every shop and hospital.

Signing up now always finishes and takes you straight to naming your character, with clearer help along the way - and an account with a character is never removed for an unconfirmed email.

Little critters now live all over the realm - in meadows, woods, farms, by the sea, among crystals and in town, some only at night or in the rain. Catch them with a Glow Jar and fill your Critter Journal.

The sea, lakes and river now have real depth. Dive down among coral reefs, kelp forests, turtles and a friendly whale - and follow the red buoys from Saltmere's Long Pier to Coralhaven, a town under the sea.

Small companions now hop into your car, cart or hover and ride along; horses, and any companion when you fly, wait out of sight and pop back beside you when you get out.

Camps of goblins, wolves, orcs, bandits, crabs, imps and robots now dot the open country. Six world bosses and four kinds of world event are announced to the whole realm when they begin.

The realm now has days and nights - stars, a moon, lamps and lit windows - and weather fronts that move across the zones: rain, thunderstorms, fog, wind, and snow in the cold hills.

Pip, Basecamp's Realm Guide, now meets every new character and shows them the ropes - walking, jumping, talking, loot, the bag, driving and chat - one step at a time.

The open country is full now - flowers, bushes, hedgerows, lamp-lit roads, 32 little places to find, town crowds and hikers, birds and balloons. And a Friends list shows where your friends are and takes you to them.

Every town now has its own gym, and your character page has a Change name button that keeps everything - your level, lots, items, pets, look, Strength and Stamina.

The last animals that were still boxes now have real bodies, designed by the realm's art studio: goats, ducks, gulls, herons, crabs, frogs, pigeons, crows, owls, squirrels - and our own creatures.

Basecamp's gym now works. Press E on a machine to do a set - bench press, pull-ups, curls, treadmill, bike, battle ropes or laps of the court - and earn XP and points as your Strength and Stamina level up.

On computers, taking a parked car in Basecamp or Saltmere left the car behind while you drove off in thin air. Now the car moves with you, and everyone sees it.

iPads now always get the touch controls - joystick and action buttons - even with a keyboard or Pencil attached, and the joystick is always shown at the bottom left.

On computers, campfires now burn with real moving flames and arcade cabinets play a moving screen. More effects - water, foam, lanterns - arrive by themselves as the art studio finishes them.

On computers with a real graphics card, the realm's ground, walls, roofs, roads and leaves now use photographed materials, and each zone has a real photographed sky that lights the world.

An account without a character could open the realm and wander an empty copy of it alone. Now it is asked to name a character first, and then joins everyone else.

Up to twelve animals in a herd or a farmyard now show as real animals at once, and a resting companion sits down instead of lying on its side.

Cats, rabbits, hens, cows, sheep, pigs, wild boar, deer and leaping fish are now real animated animals up close - and your companion lies down for a rest when you stand still.

Keys now open locked chests, map scraps join into treasure maps, knock-outs in Ashfall drop build plans, legendaries are properly rare, and real weapons like the Laser Sword hit hard.

Each zone is now about three times as wide and deep, with the towns in the middle and open country all around: forests, meadows, lakes, a river with bridges and country roads. And every house, shop and special place can now be bought.

Characters now move like they mean it - swords slash, axes come down overhead, wands point and fire - and your dog, fox or horse companion is a real animated animal that runs after you and does its tricks.

The realm's art studio now makes new character looks and vehicle paint jobs by itself, and they arrive while you play. Paint your own car at the new Paint shop.

Campfires crackle, fountains splash, the sea washes the shore, markets chatter and every zone has its own background air. Cars have real engines and a horn - press G.

Walk and drive between zones, jump, build, name your lot and talk to anyone - and the realm is now scattered with swords, shields, charms, potions and snacks to pick up, carry and use.

Make a meme and send it: pick an original picture, add a top and bottom line (or tap a suggested caption), and it shows in the chat and in your speech bubble.

Everything in the realm can now be knocked down for points - houses, trees, landmarks, parked cars - and it all comes back. The countryside is full of animals, and a stray can become your companion.

The townsfolk have fresh jokes and puns every day and something to talk about: The Realm Daily, a family-friendly board of the day's space pictures, history and good news. Buildings and vehicles can now come in color, starting with two very special homes.

Cars, carts, hovers, helicopters, planes and jets now carry on across zone borders with you at the wheel - and jumping out of an aircraft in the air opens a parachute.

The realm has a soundtrack now - calm music that fits each zone, and a car radio - and the whole website is about the realm: a new front page, a features page and this changelog.

The realm opens to everyone with an account. Zone borders blend, buildings open, places to visit in every zone, people with daily lives, points and levels, a store, things to smash, a jetpack, aircraft, a Home button and eighteen new looks.

The first production deploy of the realm, walked by admins before it opened: seven zones in seven styles, traffic, townsfolk and animals, a HUD, lots to claim and a castle to walk into.
