Despite the blogs and posters claiming otherwise, I did not hate Free Realms. In fact, I had high hopes for it, and at least two potential customers for it. Just to prove that, as well as flesh out my review some more, I’m going to give a quick 5 pros and cons of Free Realms. My goal here ...

I just saw that without much fanfare SOE has...
dropped the NDA. So, mystery solved, the game I am having so much fun in the beta, but couldn't talk about, is Free Realms. Which will come to some ...

Free Realms' Plan To Avoid The Launch Day Rush...
Player Versus Developer —
... - Oz's followup post notes that non-subscribers may climb a mountain only to find that the quest icon on their minimap was for subscribers only. That sort of thing will get old really fast. The game's biggest draw for me is the prospective of having a secondary game I can pick up from time to time on a pay-for-usage basis rather than a flat rate (that I will get less and less value out of as I split time between multiple games). Being locked into a monthly fee, even if it's low compared to traditional subscription games, kind of defeats the purpose. ...
Daily Blogroll 4/28 — Hug & Squeeze Edition
West Karana —
... very day, Guild Wars also went live, and they have a whole bunch of new features to celebrate their anniversary!
You know what else went live on April 28th? Free Realms, which started its assault on our children and our retinas this day way back in 2009.
Oz of Kill Ten Rats has somehow become the point person for negative comments about Free Realms, even though his beta review wasn’t really all that negative. Nonetheless, he found himself explaining his position in a second post and was even contacted directly by SOE so they could ...

In fact, I predicted that such support would delay the launch. Color me at least partially wrong on that one I suppose. I am going to claim some small victory in the fact that PS3 support will be a while in coming.
With the dropping of the NDA on the Free Realms beta, a few MMO players have put up their views and impressions of the game. ...

I was attualy surpised at how fun Free Relems was, but you have to get out of the hardcore MMO mind set for it to be fun.
I was actually suspired at how ...
Free Realms Beta Review
ferrel.me 4/23/2009 — SOE was kind enough to send me a beta invite to their new MMO, Free Realms, a little while ago. I gave it a spin and have been waiting for the NDA to pass before I could release my review.
Setting up the game was a breeze. I logged in with my station account and [...]
