Over a million sign up for Free Realms News

PC PlayStation 3 MMO
News by Ellie Gibson

18 May, 2009

Sony Online Entertainment has announced more than a million people have signed up to play Free Realms.

It's an impressive figure when you consider the MMO only launched on 28 April. It probably helps that it's free to play and is designed to be "family-friendly".

To mark the milestone, all Free Realms players are getting a limited edition in-game t-shirt. A lucky 999,999 of them will also get a t-shirt for their pets and 200 Station Cash to buy in-game items. The millionth player will win a lifetime membership, an exclusive in-game astronaut suit and 10,000 Station Cash.

Free Realms lets you customise characters, complete quests, battle monsters and punch rats. There are loads of mini-games plus a trading card game that's also playable in the real world. Look out for a full review on Eurogamer soon.

I've no idea when they're supposed to be doing this. I've seen the new loading screen about the 1 million accounts but still no sign of my free stuff... /hmm.

Cool game. Sony have even got me to part with some money - eek.

IMO much more fun than WOW.

The cooking mini games alone are better than Mama cooking on the Wii - although thats not hard!

It must be the week of 1 millions, as Runes of Magic also surpassed the 1M mark last week. Hats off to both!

@parablax: When I go on it says 'this service is not currently available in your region' - it may be because i run everything through a proxy thats why its causing the trouble

That's odd about not being able to play. I signed up from the UK and it works just fine.
