Although Free Realms continues to dominate kid-friendly MMO fare with five million users and counting, there are plenty of independent game-makers out there still vying for some market share. Case in point: Abandon Interactive's Freaky Creatures.
Launched in March, the monster-themed MMO comes on a 1GB Flash drive with collectible action figures, and has players engaging in PvP battles, online chat and world exploration. The company recently started offering a free-to-play option for the game, and is about to release an update called Freaky Adventures, which brings new PvE content to the universe.
Freaky Adventures will let players go beyond battle areas and their creatures' lairs and into new mission-based locales, adding new items, enemies and powers. The new Freaky Adventures content will be available to Freaky Creatures subscribers with no additional charges. Meanwhile, those opting for the free version will still get "most" missions, according to the developer, with just a few that are only available to the premium subscribers.
Freaky Adventures is slated for November, which will be followed eventually by the space exploration-themed update Freaky Space next year. For now, check out some exclusive screenshots from Freaky Adventures.

only commenting because a glaring error is right in the first paragraph of this article. free realms does not have 5million subscribers, they have 5 million accounts created. while this is still a significant number, a huge majority of these accounts will never pay sony a dime, let alone a subscription fee, and it includes people (like myself) that checked out the game for one day just to see what it was like.

That was a typo. I've amended the post to read "users." Thanks.
