I see @Talon has already explained a bit about realms.
Just to hear it also from me;
Realms has been one of my goals from the very beginning.
A realm:
- is a completely separate server instance
- will be accessible under its own subdomain name (eg. realmname.mucklet.com)
- shares the same login account with all other realms
- has its own admins/moderators/builders
- has its own set of rules (but may not have rules that goes against the ToS)
- does not share data with other realms. The includes, areas, rooms, characters, scripts, etc.
- may have its own style/theme. For starters, it will just be theme colors and fonts. Later more styling options will exist.
Think of them as similar to Discord servers. You have a single Discord account that you use to access multiple Discord servers, where each server has its own purpose/set of rules/moderation team.
Difference here is that each realm also has its completely different set of characters, and each realm will have their own client. If you want to access two realms at the same time, you’ll have two browser tabs open.
This is what I am currently working on to make possible.
The latest release, Release v1.67.0 - Info formatting, was to enable realms to have their own set of rules. Next release will be about improving the infrastructure to allow automatic upgrades of realm servers.
So, this is at least going to happen.
And yes, this will mean there will be realms where certain types of roleplay will be completely prohibited.
