Free Realms has announced today that it has passed the 4 million registered players mark. To celebrate, Treasure Tickets rewarded from any quest, mini-game, etc will be doubled from July 2nd to July 8th. Members will also recieve an additional bonus reward (TBD).

Free Realms staff has also confirmed the upcoming changes planned for the game, as they were announced at Sony's Fan Faire. Players can expect:

 

  • Demo Derby and Race Car driver will be able to advance to level 20! 
  • Each job will have 40 missions along the progression path.
  • Players will be able to customize thier cars in a garage
  • Soccer Star (not sure if that is the final name, or a description) will be a new job!
  • Guilds will be able to have matching uniforms for soccer.
  • We showed a new desert region that will be the home of the dwarves.
  • A new Druid job will come will be part of this region.
  • TCG - There will be a feature where you can have your character portrait added to a physical card. You can buy a bunch of cards and give them to friends who can use a digital code to add your card to their digital deck.

According to Pex, this list is in order of planned implementation. No mention of a new race yet (elves or otherwise), but the two new jobs will be a welcome addition.

This game is boring. Looks like a runescape wannabe only a lot worse. This game will use a pay 2 play system in the future just to make some quick cash. There is only 1 big player in the free/p2p mmorpg browser market and that is Jagex. The market is open and this game will print some money believe me.
