🌱 Server Update
Hello Realmers! This update is a bunch of content including our first-ever Valentines Day Case Drop, re-release of our dynamic economy, our media program, and finally voting rewards!
The primary goals of this update was to lay the brickwork for growth programs on The Realm. We have some big changes coming– both internally and externally– and this helps us prepare to get that content out to the world to experience!
💘 Valentines Day Case Drop
This is our first-ever Valentines Day Case. With it comes a bunch of new Valentines-themed limiteds including Hats, Balloons, Backpacks, Join Messages, Quit Messages, Nicknames, and Chat Colors!

You can purchase Gems to open Cases at https://store.realmsmp.net/
📊 Dynamic Economy Re-Release
It’s coming back! We’ve swapped from a Static Economy back to a Dynamic Economy this update.
This means:
- Prices will shift dynamically based on supply and demand
- Prices can also change naturally throughout the day
At points in the day, prices for items might be much higher than at others – finding and picking the best time to sell is a strategy to get the most money out of your items. The economy itself now has stabilizers which prevent it from excessively crashing or excessively rising even with thousands of players interacting.
🎥 Media Program
Do you create content on The Realm? This is your way to get free perks and benefits for doing that. It gets you free Echo Rank Perks – and if you're larger – a Creator Code to even earn money from people who use your code at the store.

🏘️ Town Updates
Towns got some quality-of-life upgrades too:
🔐 Town Role Management

- Anyone with this permission can now promote/demote other town members
New commands:
/town promote <player>/town demote <player>
👀 Town Member Activity
You can now see the last time a town member logged in directly in the town members screen.
🛒 Shop UI Improvements
We made several improvements to the shop experience in general (on top of the dynamic economy!):
- The shop background is now merged together to be cleaner as a UI
- Added a Help / Controls item at the top of all shops explaining controls
- Shift/bulk selling now correctly sells based on max stack – yes, no more 16x item stack spamming.
- You can no longer buy items when your inventory is full
- Improved the messages for why you can’t sell/buy to be clearer
🔇 Social & Menu Improvements
And finally, we've done more QOL updates across the board:

- Added a Back button to the main menu Skills page
- Added click sounds throughout the main menu for better feedback
