I have read the other threads, but some were older so I thought I'd bring it up again. 
I'm trying to get back into RealmWorks after backing it and then leaving it alone for a year or so. I know most don't seem to want this, but what I really wanted was a way to let the players have access to the whole world in realtime. Player mode is exactly what I wish the players could have access to. Player view to me just seems a bit too much work. I realize what it is trying to do, control what the players see, just what the DM is telling at the time, a way to focus the players attention on certain things, but I like the way RW looks and navigates much better than player view.
I'd love to be able to have player mode on a 2nd screen and I can navigate for the players, I just like the layout better and its much quick than having to designate which items to show in player view and then show them.
Hopefully that's what the player Web experience will be like which would be perfect for me, the players could have one notebook hooked up to the TV and when someone tries to remember so and so's name they just look it up without me having to take the time to do it.
One reason I loved the idea of RW for the players is we sometimes don't play for many many months at a time. The players just aren't all going to do their homework and look up things before the next session. But having everything their characters know at their finger tips,could I feel, make things go so much quicker and smoother.
So I'm not missing something, player mode can't be on a separate screen, correct? Will the player Web experience be more like Player mode? Synced realtime with changes the DM does?
Awesome product I have to say, I just wish there was a way to download everything from my brain to RW so I wouldn't have to enter everything from scratch!

Thats too bad. OK, just gotta live with what they give us I guess. Its just that player mode is exactly what I want, its perfect. Player view is too much work having to show each thing you want and each item is its own window, etc. but I'll live it.
