The Daily Grind: Are you playing Free Realms?


Free Realms launched yesterday after the world's shortest beta. This morning, Sony Online Entertainment sent round an email to all beta testers (including myself) reminding us, just in case we'd forgotten, and offering a swanky in-game baseball cap as a thank you. Nice. I've been playing for a few weeks and can see why the game has gotten so much interest. Although I'm not sure about the freemium elements: do I really want to buy Station Cash with real, hard-earned money to purchase an ingame kitty? My heart screams yes; my head 'misplaces' my Amex card.

Admittedly since going from beta to launch, I've not logged in. I will later today and craft a new toon but I'm curious how many of you will be playing the game now it's in the wild? Are you playing because of the hype? Are you playing because you want to introduce your kids to MMOs? Are you playing it because it's new? Tell us, readers!
