Thanks for the PMs. I'm keeping all of them so I have them when we start letting folks in from outside SOE. I'll update the thread when we start that phase of beta.

We also just announced the TCG that's built into Free Realms, which will have a retail version so you can buy card packs and play anywhere.

Larlyn, here is another article I found on that.

Sony Partners with Topps for Free Realms Trading Cards

Topps Sony announced a partnership yesterday with trading card company Topps to create a collectible card game for the upcoming free-to-play virtual world Free Realms. The exclusive long-term licensing agreement will produce a digital card game playable in Free Realms as well as a physical card game for sale at retail. The digital version will launch at the same time as Free Realms with the actual cards hitting stores in Spring 2009. Both will allow players to earn virtual goods for use in the online world. Some items, like exclusive pets, clothing, race car enhancements, wands, house items, and special character effects, will be exclusively available through the actual card packs.

The cards will be sold in Passport to Free Realms Starter Packs for an unannounced price andInvading_bixie_mage in booster packs for $3.99, which will include 10 gameplay cards and 1 loot card that can be redeemed for goods online. Topps plans to have over 200 cards in production at the time of release with more following in later expansions.

This past summer, Topps got into the virtual worlds and virtual goods business on its own with the launch of Toppstown.

“Our online trading card games have been hugely successful, and the chance to take our digital trading cards into the physical world with an industry leader like Topps is a fantastic opportunity for us as a company,” said John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment.

It's funny to see a post about Free Realms on the DIS!

I'm creative director for the game, and we're having a lot of fun making it. I'm a huge Disney park geek and there was a definite influence on the design of the game.

If you signed up with a child between the ages of 10-16, PM me with the station name for you and your child, and I'll see if I can get you into the beta a bit earlier. We're especially looking for kids who'll be beta testers for us, particularly if they have a parent who will play with them.

Thanks!

Any idea on when this game will open up?

I'm wondering the same thing. Anyone know when this will be opening up?

 

[Momie]

Well I guess I just need to quit my job and get rid of the kids and husband, all these games are taking all my time. I signed up!

 

[Miuco]

I've signed up for the beta along with my little brother. I'm 21 and he's 12.
We've both been really excited for Free Realms since we first heard about it in the summer.

Well, okay. I've been more excited than he's been.
But that's because I'm impatient.

I play EverQuest 2 and I love the housing aspect in that game. It's like decorating in the Sims, but way better. And FreeRealms is supposed to have housing as well!

I was even checking the website every day (did I mention I'm impatient?) and on Nov. 8th when we saw the beta sign-up button we both signed up as fast as we could.

But, alas, no beta yet.

 

[threeboysmom]

Laralyn,

Any updates on this game yet?

 

[HappyGoLucky]

Here is a link to a video explaining some of the gameplay that I found interesting. Sounds fun!

I am really looking forward to this game! I may even buy a PS3 just to play it on the big TV!

 

[threeboysmom]

No word on when it opens yet?
