About the Site

The Risen Realm goes back a few years. More specifically, it pretty much started in the year 2000. At this time, this site was a totally different thing. It wasn't even named The Risen Realm. It was called The Final Realm, and lacked a lot of content. For one thing, it only had a few links, and they were really of no use to anyone. The first version was dark and black. An intro greeted the user upon entrance. The Final Realm was a personal site completely. Updates came not too often, and well, it plainly sucked. But, it did have free email, offered by ZapZone. The site also had a nifty Internet Amp, that played crappy MIDI music.

Then came version 2. It still had the corny intro, but the layout inside was white (but still black and white in general). A small games section (with only 2 games compared to my old old game site which contained about 40 games) was included here (games I didn't make, note). Once again, email was happily available for sign up. I also made my Matrix fan site available, named an unimaginative XMatrix.

Version 3 was out! It was hosted on Geocities for sure, for one thing, it's still online. Only thing new here was a browser start page for IE, that no longer works. Nothing amazing about version 3.

To whatever happened to version 4, I don't know. Apparently, I never finished the layout and left version 4 dead. Never released.

Version 5 and beyond would form this site into what it is now. The site bounced around different web hosts a lot at this time, too many I don't remember. It had this current layout, but it still had the name of The Final Realm.

Updates were slow. Not really too much content. This was around 2002. Well, soon, The Final Realm started developing. I started a Rantings section (used to be called Blog actually) at this point. Didn't post too much interesting stuff - mainly updates. The site eventually grew. I soon decided to rename the site to The Risen Realm, because of several undisclosed reasons.

The Risen Realm soon became a very active site with updates at least every day. And in early 2004, it was turned into a active community website, with a team of staff to serve content to visitors. It was no longer a personal site.

To this day, The Risen Realm continues to entertain and inform their visitors about what's new, and continues to create a happy society of people.
