    Free Realms

    Free Realms is a new MMO title from SOE  that is part of our F2P(Free to play) upcoming titles section! The game features amazing character customization, over 30,000 wearable combinations in clothing, several new and exciting job titles like Ninja and Wizard, 8 beautifully rendered environmental settings in which to play, and a unique trading card game within the MMORPG itself! The game focuses heavily on customization and a "Do Anything" gameplay style with less linear structure than other MMORPGS.

    Another unique feature behind Free Realms is the endless customization and fun jobs/quests in game that are sometimes lost in the more serious MMORPGs. In Free Realms, for example, you can be a professional Mini-Kart driver and earn rewards/XP/money for being a good racecar driver! There are also many customizable and trainable pets, which add to the experience and less stressful gameplay offered by Free Realms.

    Free Realms is currently in closed beta and is expected to be released in September 2009. To signup for the beta visit the Free Realms Beta Signup page!
