Greetings!
The Realms Beyond is a close knit gaming community that has been around since the days of Diablo (the original). We seek challenge and variety in our gaming ventures. Our glories arise more from the sharing of fun times than from racking up "high scores" or other tanglible accolades. Not that we don't score highly -- sometimes we do -- but we look beyond the score and results.
Our GalCiv Metaverse Empire rose in to the top ten empires list with (at the time) the fewest games played of any top empire. Our membership remained small, consisting primarily of RB community members. Our community reached a collective burnout on the game about six months after we first started, and our Meta Empire languished from there, slowly falling out of the top ranks. ... We're back, though. It's a new game, a new day, a new set of galaxies to explore and conquer, and yes, I can finally play as the Drengin now, and let loose my "wilder side".

I don't know if we'll be much of a force to be reckoned with in the GC2 Meta -- depends on how many of our members get GalCiv II, and perhaps on attracting new players as well.
We welcome like-minded players from all walks and would be happy to get to know you if you are interested in our culture.
To apply for an invite to our Metaverse Empire, you should visit our community forum at Realms Beyond:

You are also welcome to check out our other gaming activities. At the moment, we are most active in Civ4 and Guild Wars.
