While some people have had the chance to play around in SOE's new game Free Realms, many are still having to wait for tomorrow before they get a chance to jump in and play. Since not everyone has had a chance to run around in this strange, fun new world, we wanted to share some collected screens from beta we've taken over the last couple of weeks.
So if you're curious to see more of Free Realms - and some of the many games inside of it - click through to the gallery and check it out! Just remember that these are collected from beta, and as with any beta, things may change at the last moment before launch.

I can't believe how short open beta was. They invited a bajillion people, then released the game a week later. Maybe it was more of an advertisement for the game, to drum up enthusiasm.

I'm a bit hesitant about the release. There was still A LOT of game-breaking bugs in beta as of Sunday and going full release today might not be the smartest move. We can only hope that the patch covers everything that was wrong but "You fix one thing and break another" is pretty commonplace this early in the game.

Really? Game-breaking? That seems a bit over-the-top, considering the extremely casual nature of Free Realms.
If something's not working right, just report it and go find something else to do for a while.

Yes, game-breaking. Several quest lines and collections aren't completable because of broken or missing content. "just report it and go find something else to do for a while" works fine in beta, but as a final release its just unacceptable. Players that don't have the patience of beta testers, such as the young children who this game targets, will get fed up very quickly if they can't complete simple tasks.
