The latest update to Free Realms brings more goodies to players via the in-game shop, offering a little something for everyone.
Pet lovers have yet another species to pick up -- monkeys. (Bonus points to SOE for asking "haven't you always wanted a monkey?") You can get pet monkeys in the store in a variety of colors.
Is a monkey not quite your style? How about a new mount instead? Sabertooth tiger mounts are available as well, and while they don't sparkle they're still fierce and fleet of foot.
Several new housing items have been added to the store if you're the type that prefers to spend your time on home improvement. Has your home been missing a windsock? How about a slop bowl? These little touches are now in the store for your character's house.
Check out the update list on the Free Realms site, then jump into game to check it all out for yourself!

SOE and their monkey business!

I am a big fan of Free Realms but is there a reason why we have a post every time they add something to their cash shop? Is that done for any other games?

Don't you think these monkeys are cute enough to receive some special attention? :)

Well, Massively had a post about WoW's sparkle pony and SOE's sparkle cat (or whatever it was). And plenty of posts about Cryptic's cash shop stuff. :D
I'm just glad FR fixed the racing at some point (and so far the demolition derby). I was able to finally complete the kart racing (without buying any SC items, just coin upgrades) and the AI controlled cars no longer seem to blow past you while you are using turbo and they aren't! More importantly, the game doesn't lock up my computer every 9 or 10 races now, like it used to.

I was about to ask that question. When they first opened the game, they had huge plans for new areas on a regular basis, and lots more missions. Now all I ever seen announced are more pets and more social activities. Have they given up altogether on the game part of the game?
