A custom client installer for Wizards Realm, a community-run private server for The 4th Coming (T4C), the MMORPG originally developed by Vircom Interactive and released May 11, 1999. The server was hosted on the ISP Pacific Coast Net (pacificcoast.net) — its co-branded splash screen carries both the Wizards Realm wordmark (wizardsrealm.com) and the Pacific Coast logo. Registration was free, handled through the Wizards Realm website. The bundled files date from January 1999 (the splash screen) through May 2000, when the installer was assembled — placing this among the earliest known T4C private server distributions.
Includes the original Wizards Realm co-branded splash screen (isp.pcx, dated January 1999), the stock T4C loading screen (load.pcx, February 2000), the server configuration (config.ins / serverlist.txt, dated May 11, 2000 — exactly one year after T4C's retail launch), and the Wise-built setup installer. The game server t4c.wizardsrealm.com and its WebPatch update host are no longer active.
The installer explicitly supports Windows 95/98/NT only — when run on Windows 2000 or later it displays the error "The T4C client does not run on Windows 2000. The 4th Coming only supports Windows 95/98/NT at this time." Screenshots captured during installation in a Windows 98 SE virtual machine (VirtualBox) are included, documenting the install process and confirming the client installs successfully to C:\Program Files\The 4th Coming\ before failing at the WebPatch update step due to t4c.wizardsrealm.com being offline.
An ISO image of the original zip contents is included for convenient mounting directly into a Windows 95/98/NT virtual machine without requiring file transfer tools or Guest Additions.
The client references the original T4C Player's Manual, archived via the Wayback Machine.
