I received exciting news today. It was just announced that Free Realms has soared past one million registrants in only 17 days, an unprecedented achievement for a new IP. To celebrate this accomplishment, Sony Online Entertainment will be rewarding all registered players with Free Realms gifts. Current players will receive a limited edition in-game t-shirt for their character and pet. Selected players will also receive 200 Station Cash along with the new t-shirt. And, the lucky one millionth person registered to Free Realms will receive a free LIFETIME subscription to the game, a one-of-a-kind in-game astronaut suit, and 10,000 Station Cash.
Check out the new t-shirts here.
In Free Realms, players can customize their characters, explore, quest, battle monsters, and play a wide variety of minigames in a safe, online environment, packed with stunning visuals, distinctive environments, and social networking capabilities. Players are free to do or be anything: Fight like a ninja, cook a tasty meal, raise a pet, battle goblins, set out on epic quests or connect with friends through a safe, social networking site.
Also available is the Free Realms Trading Card Game: a full-featured trading card game, playable both digitally within the Free Realms online game and offline via physical card decks available wherever you buy trading cards.
Now on a personal note, Mr. A, my little 4 1/2 year old wizard in training absolutely loves this game. We have been in checking out all the sites and experiences available in the game. He has thoroughly enjoyed learning to be a brawler, a cook, a race car driver (demolition, even), and has figured out how to train a pet. I just asked him and he says he loves fighting the goblins the best, and earning money to be able to buy stuff to fight better. The only drawback for him is that I need to make sure and read all the text to him to keep him moving the right direction. But as long as he is following the arrows on the screen, he can usually find his way to where he needs to be next.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, signing up is free and much of the content is free, though you can buy a membership for a nominal monthly fee which adds more content .
