Free Realms is a massively multiplayer online adventure game developed by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) set in a fantasy-themed world for the PC. The game was released on April 29, 2009, for the PC.
There are many worlds to go to and a large number of quests to complete for coins and stardust. Leveling up is handled in several ways, ranging from traditional combat to quests and minigames depending on which job the player wishes to advance. As of November 1, accounts registered after that date will have some jobs capped to level 5, giving a limit of two jobs that can be leveled to its maximum.
Unlike typical MMOs, combat is completely optional; the focus is instead spread across a variety of gameplay mechanics – exploration, combat, building, pet-raising, mini-games and social networking – to ensure its appeal to a variety of audiences.
Free Realms is also playable as a trading card game (TCG), extending game play from the purely online setting to the real world face to face with friends. Both on-line and real world packs of the trading card game feature 10 game cards, and 1 virtual reward card that can be redeemed in-game for various items. Real world game card packs also include 50 Station Cash, usable to purchase items in-game.
Due to the social networking nature of the game, players are able to send links, share images and videos, and chat with friends from their own profile page, which is all optional for parents that want to restrict their child’s access to user generated content.
Of some note, Free Realms is one of the first MMO to incorporate integrated video capture and the ability to upload in-game video captures directly to YouTube. Locally saved captures can also be viewed or edited with any software that supports AVI. Free Realms also contains yearly holidays like The Spooktacular in October, Snow Days in December, Festival of Hearts in February, and Free Realms Bday Bash in April and May.
