Free Realms Birthday Bash

Happy Birthday Free Realms!

I've not logged into Free Realms much lately so I thought I'd check in this weekend to see what has been going on. Free realms kicks off the second year birthday bash through the next month until the 18th. Plenty of fun quests have popped up with very cool rewards like t-shirts, balloon weapons and other cool items.

There have also been some other additions to the game that I've not been aware of. Free Realms now has titles for characters. This is a nice little bonus, they are rather cute. I always like obtaining titles with characters in all of my games. It seems that titles are awarded for reaching level 20 with jobs. Pex states- 'Titles are for fun and to help show off a job that you have mastered.' 

Another thing that I noticed, and really, really was happy about, you can now use any (and I mean any) job armor while an adventurer. Even if you're not maxed with a certain profession, you can still wear the items while you are adventuring. This leaves room to really mix up appearance looks! It is a really great change and me being a appearance freak, well, I am really loving this.

OM NOM NOM!

The April members pack gave out farms! I probably mentioned this last week but I didn't have a chance to play around with it much. I was wondering what the heck I was getting soil and seed packs for. The farm idea is pretty nice. It is very similar to Farmville. I'm not big on Farmville but I don't have anything against it. It's just that when I am on my computer I tend to play MMO type games or RPG instead of FB games but I love the idea of them on the smartphones or as mini games in other games.

Basically you have a tutorial that shows you what to do. You plant, weed, harvest, sell (to the farmer's market) and all that other fun stuff. At first glance I thought you could only buy seeds from the cash shop but you can go out and harvest the plants, bring them back to the farm and convert them into seeds. It is a fun little way to adventure and spend some free time. I rather like the farming addition versus some of the faster paced games! Plus you make monies selling what you farm!

So, while Free Realms might not be cutting edge in the MMO world, it is a casual laid back game if you want to just enjoy adventuring, exploring, solo or two man dungeons, housing and fluff. It really has a lot of good points and I always enjoy my stay in Free Realms. It is a breath of fresh air in this day of add-ons, meters, and gearscores.
