Free Realms Signs Up Over Nine Million

Posted March 5, 2010 by David Radd

Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) announced today that Free Realms has seen over nine million players register for the free-to-play virtual world. The game has also seen a recent introduction of rides, where subscribers can get a mount that allows for faster ground travel, and the development team will introduce new pets and a 3-D minigame in the near future.

“With Free Realms, we’ve been able to reflect the needs and wants of our players by keenly listening to their suggestions and feedback,” said John Smedley, president of SOE. “We believe the persistent exercise of capturing in-game research inside Free Realms has been a huge contributing factor as to why we’ve attracted over nine million players in less than a year. It truly helps us give our players a game where they can do and be whatever they want.”

David Radd has worked as a gaming journalist since 2004 at sites such as GamerFeed, Gigex and GameDaily Biz.

Back in April around the same time as the PC launch we got chance to have a look at the range of mini games featured in the title, and people must have liked what they saw, because over a million people signed up within eighteen days for the free to play MMO.

God of War III is shaping up to be another awesome adventure; it's just as gruesome and over the top as before with a number of new moves to keep things interesting... ecommerce shopping software

w00t, drag-and-drop sorting of pagetype properties! I thought the discussion at the "CMS7 thinktank-meetup" ended in that it would not be included in the CMS6 release. I, and I suppose many others, are very grateful that the guys managed to squeeze it into this release!HostMonster Hosting Review

I would say Portal was a fairy-tale success story for independent game developers...key west limos

I don’t think that Valve actually ban steam accounts at all, they disable them in suspected cases of fraud, or account theft.key west limos
