First of all it takes forever to load the game then when u go to some place and it needs to load it takes a few hours. If they like never fix that problem people are going to stop playing the dang game. I have quit the game and once they fix that problem i may start playing it.

Better check your internet connection or your computer... I didn't have any trouble with the loading times so far.

The problem that I found (after 4 hours of playing) is that it's not a real MMO, nor a real RPG...
Okay, you're there with 100s of other players, but I didn't see the need of a party (or any other way of cooperation) anywhere so far.
RPG it's only partly. You go from one quest to an other, but all these quests include odd mini-games that have to be played to level up jobs. Of course, the quests are related to the jobs, but those mini-games...

And the last thing that bothers me is that it's published by SONY... You can register for $5 a month, and there's a cash shop as well... WTF??? Why have P2P and F2P in one game system (I know, SOE has it in nearly every game now), but it's just plain nonsence! Either use a P2P system or a F2P system. Not a mixed one!

Anyway... I won't subscribe, nor use the cashshop. After the EQ2 log give-away,SOE won't get an other dime from me ever again. I'll enjoy Free Realms till Aion is released (I now... The two are a HUGE difference in game experience :D)

What? There are no load times in the game. It is not the game it is no doubt your problem. My first day in game to about 2 minutes to load and get into the tutorial area. The whole process of making account, loading game, and making character took about 10 minutes and I was in playing free realms. Any game loading during game play is seamless and happens in background with no effect on game play. I know a lot of people playing game and none of them have had an experience like yours.

i think that's the point, and the market ... anyone over 18 playing this game without kids for anything other than fun and a blast, really should take a long look in the mirror... and then shoot themselves.

It is an MMO, what else would you call it... can you see dozens of people on the server YES..... compare it to WAR... or AOC lol.. can you see dozens of people in particular zones... NO.

I mean it took me 10 mins to find someone else in a Tier 2 zone in WAR... felt like i was playing a crappy single player game ;)

 The worst thing about freerealms are the people who loiter around sanctuary all day.  I like dropping my cray sand castle and turning them all into crayfish.  This pisses off the wannabe cybering people who try to look cute with their characters.
