Snowmen in the Snowhill area of Free Realms are nothing new, but lately they're a little different. While they've got the basics of snowman fashion down -- top hat, scarf, sticks for arms -- these days they don't look quite as jolly and friendly as one would expect a snowman to look.
They got a bit aggressive during the holidays, and began attacking adventurers on sight, providing a fun new challenge for Free Realms players. It seems to have been a hit with players, and it looks like their feisty new attitude is here to stay. A note on the Free Realms site yesterday informed players "No one knows who made the snowmen or who cast the magic spell that animated them, but they are here to stay."
So if you enjoyed duking it out with the snowmen, and think you'll want some frosty cool hunting grounds in the summer months, Snowhill might just be your new favorite place!

While I wasn't very wild about many of the recent changes to FR (the combat change especially), the snowmen attacks are a lot of fun (yeah, silly, but fun). Glad they are keeping them in some form and hope they also keep the snowball fights and snowball throwing. Also loving the launch pads and new exploration collections!
Also nice to see the place packed again, even though I wonder how many of those players will stick around after the holiday or once they've reached the level 5 cap on all the jobs. Still, fun little game... now if they'd just fix the racing / demo derby games so they are actually fun to play.

The new additions to the game are great, but the combat changes were very disappointing.

Too much spamming "1" with a "2" and "3" thrown in once in a while. And Ranged might as well be Melee.

It looks like it's an ATI driver error. Do you have an AMD/ATI video card? Try reverting back to some older drivers or make sure yours are fully up to date.

I do like the Evil Snowmen attacks. I reminds me of the Dark Iron Dwarf attacks during Brewfest in WoW, but without the beer.
