A new look around Free Realms
The Free Realms beta is underway, and if any of the people we know who are in it are to be believed, it's a lot of fun getting to explore, swap around your different 'classes' by changing outfits, etc. We're still waiting patiently to be let in on the Free Realms love here at Massively, so whenever a shiny new video comes out, we're glad to see it. This time we're treated to a romp around the various areas, including a look at a new zone called Merry Vale.
According to SOE: The land where Merry Vale now sits was once barren, mountainous, and unexplored. One day (and no one can truly pinpoint which day), the mountains erupted, and a bright rainbow sprang forth. Curious travelers and adventurers went to investigate, and found the settlement of Merry Vale - home of the fairies. It was as though the place had been around for ages, but was hidden by magic. Now, there is something sinister going on here, but there are too many pretty lights and cool dances to keep most people distracted. At the center of Merry Vale, the fairies put on an elaborate show around the ever-rainbow. "Mayor" leads the ceremonies, but then vanishes - presumably to his office as there's always more to do to attract more visitors. Really, he is the leader of a secret cult.
I'm staying away from the obvious cult-of-MMOs comment here, and will simply invite you to check out the shiny new screens below, and the trailer after the break!
