FreeRealms NDA lifted
« on: April 22, 2009, 05:47:54 PM »
RIP RuneScape and just about any other freetoplay MMO.

I'll try to post some screens later, but I've been playing since beta started and it's really good for a F2P MMO.

Graphics are about on par with WoW and the UI animation is very impressive.

TONS to do. Lots of mini-games. It's the ultimate casual MMO.

The cart racing reminds me of a simpler version of GripShift:

Cooking is done like Cooking Mama:

Curious to see how the PS3 one will turn out. As long as it's still free on the PS3, it shows how badly HOME sucks.

WHEN WILL SONY MAKE PLANETSIDE 2?

Why? No one plays PlanetSide 1 as it is.

That's like asking for The Matrix Online 2.

How is it monetized? Can PS3 support the same model?

$5/month membership option + Microtransactions using Station Cash (http://www.station.sony.com/en/stationcash/).

No reason why the PS3 can't do it. Whether SCEA will allow it or not is another matter since they tend to be picky about what can be downloadable on PSN or not.
