Free Realms fact sheet released

Tuesday, 22 Jul 2008 09:11
Free Realms is Sony's upcoming, well, free MMO, aimed at the more casual player
A free MMO is being readied for release by those kind and generous people at Sony Online, simply called Free Realms.

Ok, it isn't completely free - there is an optional subscription and micro-transactions, but, theoretically, you can play forever without spending a penny.

The main focus on the game is on freedom. Players can go 'adventuring' by unlocking 'jobs' (classes to you and me) such as Ninja, Explorer and Wizard, or they can stay at home, playing with the pet, decorating the house or just growing vegetables and flowers.

A wide variety of integrated mini-games are available in order to craft useable items or get onto high score leaderboards and so on.

Weekly and monthly content updates will be released, along with the hosting of regular and special events by the developers.

Features
  • Experience a vibrant new world that's an exciting mix of real-world and fantasy.
  • Be a wizard one day, and a warrior the next, without having to make a new character.
  • Join your friends in the game and adventure with them, wherever they are, no matter how long they have been playing.
