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!
[Edit: Eligibility is now closed. Winners will be contacted by the end of the weekend. Thanks to all who participated!]

I like the laid back and overly artsy design of the game. I'm hoping that RMT aspect adds to the game and doesn't make it a buy to be the best scenario.

I have been following this one for a while and I am hoping that it is as fun and friendly as it looks. I would love to get into the Beta to check it out for the family. :)

The focus on teamwork in realistic small-unit tactical combat.
By which I mean, "Eeeeee, kitties!"

Wow. Really looking forward to something I can play with my smaller children - this looks fantastic!

This looks like a perfect game for a gaming family. We can all play together *and* we can all do our own thing. The family payment plan sounds nice as well.

My son (8) is looking forward to this game, as it seems ideal for letting him RPG is a fun, safe environment.
He wants to be a ninja-type character with a dragon pet, and be able to have his avatar look just like him (or as close as possible).
And honestly, I would love to be right by his side, playing with him. :)

I like the idea of an MMO I can let my kids play without constant supervision.

Casual, family-friendly, looks like more fun than the "2nd job" that most MMOs turn into. Hope they pull this one off the right way!

The feature that stands out to me is being able to switch between so many jobs on the fly, and not being pigeonholed to one profession. This opens up a whole spectrum of gameplay to your character without having to rely on a half dozen alts.

I am looking forward to the casual and relaxed gameplay. Just having fun:)

I'm interested in the variety of minigames and jobs/character classes.

I'm looking forward to the different types of characters to play.

Most excited about the ways the jobs will work. And also that it's so cute that even my little sister (who never plays MMOs) is sounding interested so I might get to hang out with her there.
