You may have noticed us ramping up our Free Realms coverage a bit this week in preparation for something special. Well, that time has arrived and we're happy to announce an exclusive beta key giveaway for Sony Online Entertainment's Free Realms! We have 100 keys to give away to the Massively readers, and everyone has a fair chance.
To enter, simply add a comment to this post describing which feature(s) of Free Realms you anticipate most. Maybe you like the whimsical feel to the game. Maybe you like the minigames, or the job system, or the safe atmosphere for children. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it! You may enter only once, at any time from now until 9am EST on Saturday, April 18th when eligibility will close. Once the contest has closed, we'll choose 100 winners at random from the comments. Good luck!

I just love the atmosphere and art direction!

I like the way that it appears to be FUN rather than taking itself too seriously, there's a difference between child-like and childish you know!

Being casual and colorful I do hope playing this game with my girlfriend.

Im looking forward to exploring the vast colourful world and the casual gameplay.
it looks like a game you could pick up and play on and off, no hardcore grinding which every other game consists off, it also looks like a new approach to the MMO genre which I would really like to try out as all other MMOs today and repetitive and very plane

Clearly, I'm looking forward to the Postman class, which is without a doubt the greatest innovation in the history of the genre. One can only hope they've included a clock tower in the Starter Town so that I can play the role most effectively.

I am really looking forward to a MMORPG that is family friendly, so that I can play with younger relatives. Also I am looking for a casual atmosphere without the grind of the other MMORPG's on the market.

Safe environment for children, and the casual gameplay.

Definitely the sense of whimsy both the art and job system seem to portray. It seems fun and casual and silly!

Putting top priority on being able to play immediately with no arbitrary barriers between you and content while tying the experience to a persistent game world is an innovation I'd like to experience.

Definitely looking forward to the casual playstyle and something a little less competitive and rather more fun than the other MMO's out there.

i like the art and the casual play and it not taking itself so seriously

I personally think that the graphics are well animated, but more than anything what interests me is a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. I like the idea of a job that is nothing more than a new game in itself like Postman or Race Car Driver.

Gameplay looks like a refreshing change. Visually it looks stunning.
