MMO-Free Realms hits 3million PS3 version in development

Free Realms hits 3 million players; PS3 version ‘still in development’

Sony Online Entertainment apparently has a hit on its hands as Free Realms has passed the 3 million unique users mark. As the game continues to tick past million mark milestones, we expect to see the four million unique user press release in the next month. If we don’t … something has gone terribly wrong.

To celebrate its latest milestone, SOE is giving out the “3M Pet Party Pack,” which has “goodies” for player’s virtual feline and canine companions.

As the game continues to grow its base on the PC, we couldn’t help but contact SOE and ask about the status of the PS3 version. We were told by a representative the PS3 version is still in development, but there’s currently no status update or comment about whether the two platforms would be cross-compatible

MMORPG- FreeRealms getting housing

8 06 2009

E3 2009: Player housing coming to Free Realms

Now that Free Realms is live – and by anyone’s standards, tremendously successful – SOE‘s Free Realms team (at around 100 people) is busy working on new features and improvements. In September (or October, perhaps) they plan to add in player housing for everyone to enjoy. For those of you who have been pelting them on the forums for a home of your own – your request has been heard! A nice, shiny home in Free Realms should be yours in time for the holidays.

You’ll be able to select land, size, and style of house; then really dig in and modify it to make it all your own. The plan is also to create new mini-games involving maintaining your house as well – we’re guessing something along the lines of time-management games, perhaps? According to what we’ve heard, the garage coming out in July will be attached to your house, so you can show off your cars to friends. Neighborhoods will be instanced (currently planned for three buildings per personal plot with no word on neighborhood size) but they expect this will give players a new place to hang out and enjoy their time in Free Realms. There’s currently no specifics on what will be available for F2P and paid members, so we’ll have to wait and see.
