    • not a first buy -.-'

    • Better hope you don't have any kind of bandwith limit on your ISP. Cause streaming a game constantly would EAT a ton of it needlessly.

    • hi =)

    • Wow, entirely craptastic SEO. But at least with Free Realms they are finally designing something they can deliver on.

    • Wow ! it seems that now every game is going to run from a website, i hate when someone takes a good idea and the next game move, is everyone doing that...

    • lol i like how they think job swapping is something new... ffxi anyone?

    • It looks like you sign in from the website and this launches a seperate client that gets installed when you sign in. Unlike runescape that plays in a browser, I guess like Horizons (or whatever it's called) launched

    • Does it have a website?
  • onemeg(posted Mon Aug 11 2008)
    • Of course if a girl plays, she MUST want to be a fashion designer...*sigh* so tired of stereotyping.

    • Sounds good :)
  • linadragon(posted Sat Aug 09 2008)
    • Well lets hope they dont have the SoE touch of death this time around lol... It looks good but alot of stuff they've had looked good then turned into crap... They ruined SWG and a few others games. Lets just hope it doesnt go that route this time around...

    • This is actually really interesting. Way to go guys, keep up the good work, it looks really promising!
  • dan7(posted Fri Aug 08 2008)
    • In my honest opinion, this game does not look to shabby. It seems like it will attract the younger audience, while looking very similar to WoW. Seriously, this games art work really reminds me of WoW. Can't wait to see how SoE and this game together plays out.
  • Mrbloodworth(posted Fri Aug 08 2008)
    • It launches FROM a browser, NOT IN.
  • fenrisblue(posted Fri Aug 08 2008)
    • in order to see how many games that are using the browser to load and play a game you only have to type"browser games" in your search engine, there are actually a few games,they are usually really bad games, so this doesnt bode well for free worlds. secondly soe sdoesnt have an image problem, it has a retard problem, please learn to tell the diferance between your opinion and fact,lastly every game has the kreepy unlce thing, and every game,even age of conan has little kids playing,you get that everywhere,dont forget what smedly was saying about his kids and parental controlls,but enough about you fools, the gmae looks like it may be fun, ill probably give it a try to see what its about,but its geared towards kids so who knows

    • "Free" as in free to play?
  • Finbar(posted Fri Aug 08 2008)
    • An MMO designed for kids might attract all types of shady people (you know who I mean... the creepy uncle types?). I hope SOE has more live CS than they have in the past to try and stop those (insert very harsh language here) jerks.

    • That guy Matt Hegby is really good. He will get a good future in MMORPG development. Anyways. Nice interview. I'm looking forward to giving this game as a present to my little borther and sister if they don't want to play Darkfall because it's too hard. It's clear to see that SOE is trying to compete with Runescape and the game really looks like World of Warcraft. It's good for the business. Well done SOE. I played Runescape for a long time and I know that there are lots of customers our there. My littlebrother plays adventure quet for God's sake. There should be more games for him than Runescape, which will make him very addicted and then Adventure quest which is oversimplistic.

    • This is only the 2nd project I know of that is doing the web to full screen game, the other being Quakelive, which isn't out yet either. I'd like to know what game professor is talking about as well. What engine is this game using? It can't be a fully Flash engine...can it?
  • elhuevoloco(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • even better than runescape? wow.
  • AngelBurst(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Looks like a great casual games for kids, and adults!
  • solareus(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • "Sure" make decent microphones ..
  • professer(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Wow, there is nothing special about a client that you launch from a webpage. There are plenty of games that have done that. It looks like it will be a fun game though, nothing I could see my self getting into seriously.
  • Bob_Blawblaw(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Is that a 'Realistic' brand microphone. Somebody get this guy a better mic.
  • BRYANBARTLEY(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • this is going to be the best browser based MMO on the market :P
  • scooby32(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • I heard on the internets that you have to PAY for multiple accounts
  • Tyres100(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Mikey11111 Name one top of the line MMO that does this? This whole game will be played by logging into the website then hitting play. No wait time and no large files on your PC. It is quick and fast, for a top made product by a huge company.
  • lordtwisted(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • I want the beta on this....in fact I want the Alpha on this, but I need two accounts, one for me, and one for my daughter.
  • mikey11111(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Hardly 'revolutionary', many games do the background installation/download that requires no time including Wizard101 and Guild Wars.
  • Tyres100(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Lots of unique custom things you can do. I bet SOE is taking everything they know and what other popular games already have like WOW to throw into this game. I can't wait to try it. And that no buying the game box and logging into the game from the website is a major plus. That alone will draw in tons of customers.
  • XxXLuthorXxX(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Sounds funny
  • solareus(posted Thu Aug 07 2008)
    • Ninjas have no level ! But yeah this should appeal to a younger new audience and lets Sony rebuild there image in the mmo field.
