Free Realms unveils "It's Your World" video
Free Realms is offering players all sorts of celebratory goodies as part of their first birthday celebration, not the least of which is an official video for the game's theme song, "It's Your World." "It's Your World" tells a story of "two teens who become acquainted in real life after befriending each other as their Free Realms avatars," and the video combines live-action with in-game footage. The video can be viewed on JSYK along with some backstory on "California pop-punk rockers" The Dares, the Southern California trio chosen to perform the song. As a little bonus, Free Realms released a "behind the scenes" video in tandem with the video, showing off some behind-the-scenes fun during the making of the video. Commentary from the band and director is included along with a bit of fun at director Todd's expense. Follow along after the jump to take a look. Happy birthday, Free Realms!
Free Realms celebrating one year and ten million players
Free Realms has a lot to celebrate, and they want to share the festivities with their players. April 28th, 2010 will mark the first birthday of Free Realms, something that's always cause for a party. That's not all, though. Free Realms has also reached a milestone of ten million registered players -- an impressive number by any standard. With two big events going on, you're going to find all kinds of things going on in game. Beginning in mid-April, keep your eyes peeled for party decorations all over Free Realms. That's your signal that the party has begun and there will be community events, new minigames, and fifteen new birthday quests. If you want your character to be dressed for the party, pick up a party hat and commemorative t-shirt, but don't plan on keeping it spotlessly clean. There is one more event to participate in! Cakenstein, a huge monster made from botched cake recipes, will be rampaging through Free Realms in an attempt to ruin the party, and only a large scale cake fight will stop him.
