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
