SOE has placed a surprisingly large and engaging MMO online free to play. Although it obviously targets the 9 to 14 age bracket, I found myself logging in again and again. Try it. And if you have kids, this is a must-play.

Fun, entertaining, no matter what age I promise you'll like it. So much to do, it's a little hard to get bored. Money and long wait updates are annoying, but, at least give it a try.

Put me in the burnt-out MMORPG player category. This game hit me like a breath of fresh air! Great mix of casual, fun activities wrapped in a fairly expansive world. I'm too busy having fun to worry much about whether I have the best weapon possible or whether I am wasting my time crafting or grinding. I mean, jeez, cart racing, demo derby, pet training, collections, card battles, puzzle minigames, board games, cooking mama, exploration quests, postman jobs, good old-fashioned kill the cave full of monsters quests, and more! My six-year-old can play in whatever way he wants, and we can both have fun. Totally worth the optional 4.99 monthly fee. Expansions may push this to 9 or 10!… Expand

Great game to play with your kids, so much free content that you don't really have to shell out for anything if you don't want to. Enough depth to keep adults involved as well.

Wow i played it thought it was pretty cool. the one huge problem about this game is the games name. Free Realms. guess what its only free if you give up 80% of the game features. and then the card game system if paying for the game was not enough now you have to buy packs of cards for ingame use. jezz if you are going to say a game is free please make it free.

New update released in December turned this semi decent game into a mindless, repetitive hack 'n' slash grind fest. Alternatives to combat abound in the game world, but they lack depth and the majority of the mini games are identical - 'bejewled ripoff'. The chat system is utterly useless due to one of the most heavy handed word filters in any MMO. No numbers, no words that resemble profanity (in any language), and no privacy to have conversations in whisper without being subject to account suspension. GM's apparently comb through your chat logs to find possible filter violations even in 'Private Chats' (whisper) with other adult members.… Expand
