Free realms during COVID-19 quarantine

During the quarantine, there should be free realms to play with your friends, because you can't in person. Also will give a great opportunity for people to try it out and see if they like it to buy it after the quarantine.

    this is possible with a pc hosting the players up to 10 with smart netcode. example, the netcode will ignore lost packages and not finding what the player did

    Grandparents asked how they could engage with kids. Kids play on xbox. Grandparents have a PC. I think it's possible but think realms is required, if there's a guide I'll happily follow it.

    Everyone can setup their own server, so you don't need a realm to play with your friends :-)

    Similar to what has been available for players of the Java Edition, dedicated Bedrock servers allow players on the Bedrock editions of Minecraft to set up their own servers at home on Windows and Linux computers.

    If they were going to do it in person to begin with, then why not just join the world over Xbox Live instead of LAN?

    How about one trail realm that you can keep or a permanent purchase option.

    I totally agree I think that realms in general shouldn’t cost money

    Realms for Java shouldn't cost money. Reason? It's not because i hate bedrock, i think bedrock is the better version of the game. But you can play w/ friends for free on bedrock, so realms should be free on java, or add a friending system
