Free Realms Trading Card Game costs
Tobold's MMORPG Blog — ... But then I read a blog post that really annoyed me, Oz does Free Realms Beta on Kill Ten Rats. I don't mind that Oz doesn't like Free Realms, but I do mind that he tries to discredit the game by writing things that are just outright falsehoods.

Free Realms Unleashed Today
The Ancient Gaming Noob — ...   The first of many, no doubt. And getting back to urgency, urgent seems to be right.  I am completely surprised that Free Realms is going to market without day one PlayStation 3 support.  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 ...
