Forums - Sony - Free Realms hits a million players in 18 days

...............................................................................................................................................................


What do you get when you cross an in incredibly accessible, casual MMO, a free-to-play subscription plan, a widely

circulated ad campaign and magical, magical fairies? Why, you get Free Realms, of course -- and in turn, Free Realms gets

1,000,000 registered accounts in just 18 days.

We knew that Sony Online Entertainment had stumbled upon a recipe for mind-blowing success (an in-game trading

card game and kart racing? That's just fiendish), but to get a million players on board in just over two weeks is simply

remarkable. We're terrified to think of how this number will skyrocket when the game lands on PS3s. Terrified, we tell you!

Now thats amazing what do u guys think?

It seems more Fable-esque in some ways, and overall brighter than either series.  Plus, the characters are generally taller and skinnier, rather than shorter and a bit heavy around the middle section like in WoW.

It does look Fable-ish.

Like taking Home and Fable and throwing it against a wall.



We'll miss you George.

O.o I don't play Everquest....because when I played it, I didn't like it. Or WoW. The only MMO I've gotten into was City of Heroes (which I got out of because I'm cheap). I figured I'd just give the game a chance. o.x Why so hostile? lol.

 

 Because the "enthusiasim" is fake.  I was on the Alpha and Beta selection for Free Realms (unfortantly my computer did not play nice with any of the builds).  I really like SOE as division of Sony and have played and enjoyed most of their games.  It just really urks me that PS3 fanboys would get all excited over this game when most of them haven't even tried SOE's flagship title.

 

edit:  I do love me some CoH
