    Free Realms ~ Ref Ruby's Guide to Hoverboards

    Oh, hey guys. I’m just chilling on my MOST AWESOME HOVERBOARD EVER!

    Yeah, it’s pretty sweet. This is an ATH, or an All-Terrain Hoverboard. Land, water, air… no problem.

    Sure, it hovers, and that’s awesome on its own…but guess what? It can also do tricks! Press the space bar while you’re cruising around and you’ll do some sweet moves.

    So that right there is double awesome. But we aren’t done yet. Nope, we’re taking it up to TRIPLE AWESOME!!! Try it out on a launch pad to see what your hoverboard can really do.

    Jealous yet? Ready to get your own? Just head over to the Rides section of the Station Cash Marketplace, or the Stables outside of Sanctuary to pick one up!
    While you’re there, talk to my buddy Durn Cogspinner. He can tell you some pretty cool stuff about where hoverboards came from. Ooh, mysterious…

    Yeah…I guess you could say I’m pretty much the master at hoverboards. Like I haven’t really met anyone who matches my skill or anything.

    Free Realms ~ Meet Cakenstein

    Cakenstein! What is it? Cake? Monster? A cakemonster? No one knows for sure. What we do know is that Cakenstein is the result of a strange baking accident in the kitchen of Glerga, a famous Robgoblin chef.

    It seems Glerga decided to add Mystery Meat to the recipe in order to win the big bake-off. She baked seven cakes using Mystery Meat and now Cakenstein is appearing everywhere one of these cakes was sent.

    Cakenstein is drawn to the special cakes and will fight anyone who gets in the way. He even has smaller Cakelings to help him.

    If one of the Cakelings gets some cake back to Cakenstein he becomes invulnerable for a short time!

    You never know when Cakenstein will show up. When he does, arm yourself with fireworks to fight him and his Cakelings away!

    Free Realms ~ Empty Lots For Your Construction Dreams

    Empty Lots For Your Construction Dreams

    What can you do with an empty lot? Lots! Without a house in the way you are free to build upways and sideways and slantways and longways and backways. Any ways you want! Fill it with blocks, pirate ships, potted plants...whatever you like!


    We currently have a Briarwood lot and a Snowhill lot available. Each holds a whopping 1500 items! Think of the obstacle courses you can make with something like that!

    You can use Station Cash in the Housing section of the Marketplace to find the lot that is best for you.

    To make a purchase, click on the Marketplace, Claim and Membership icon on the game tool bar.

    Free Realms for the PS3 !!

    They've always said the PlayStation 3 version was imminent, but they never gave us that official confirmation.

    But it's here now: on the anniversary of the day Free Realms launched for the PC, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that their family-friendly MMORPG will be coming to the PS3 and furthermore, they plan to show it off at E3 this year. We'd like to know if PC and PS3 players will be able to go adventuring together on the same servers and of course, we need a launch date for the PS3 version, too. At this point, we could probably guess that Free Realms will be available on Sony's console towards the end of the year, but that's only a guess until we receive the finalized date (and maybe we'll get it in June). If you're unfamiliar, this is a game along the lines of old MMOs like EverQuest, only with a distinctly cartoon-y feel to it; the depth is still there (we think), but it's not as much about bloody battles as it is about a feeling of immersion in a large, colorful, interesting world.


    PS3 Version in action for E3 2010

    Sony Online Entertainment's free-to-play PC MMO Free Realms is still coming to PlayStation 3, according to the publisher.

    Speaking with Kotaku, SOE says the game is still "very much in development," and we'll see it in action for the first time at E3 this year. Free Realms launched a year ago, with some ten million subscribers to date. Not bad -- probably has something to do with how damned cute it is.

    I played Free Realms very briefly, but was easily distracted by things like instant messenger, email, Google Reader, and work. I'll probably have better luck on the PS3, where my only distraction will be notifications of people coming online that I never game with.

    Is a free-to-play MMO on the PS3 something you're interested in? That whole "free" thing has got to help, eh?

    If this appeals to you, stay tuned for more info on the PS3 version. We expect to hear a lot more about it in the coming months.

    Explore the Mother Lode Quarry

    Deep inside Bristlewood is the Mother Lode Quarry. The mine is notoriously difficult to get to and only the best miners can dig here.

    Located along the path northeast from the Vale of the Ancients, the area outside the quarry may be more dangerous than inside. The woods, which some claim to be haunted, keep all but the most dedicated miners from even trying to find their way to the mine.

    What makes the mine a destination despite the dangers? Gold! There is more gold in the Mother Lode than anywhere else in Free Realms. With such riches just waiting to be dug up, many are willing to risk the trip.
