Are you one of the folks who has leveled your classes all the way to max in Free Realms and are kind of wondering what now? Well, if you're the type who loves progression and really building your character up to be better, you're in luck. The folks at SOE are planning to introduce Prestige classes (much like the aforementioned racing ones) that will allow players to level their jobs to 20, and improve them through further play.

Along with this interesting development, they are adding in some new jobs to the game, like the Pro Racing class - and perhaps a new class to go with the Soccer game (Soccer player? Footballer?) since SOE has let us know that they are finally bringing those fenced-off soccer fields into play. Added to these new tidbits will be further expansion on the backstory of Free Realms, which will explain a bit more about the lands and inhabitants of this crazy fun casual MMO, as well as opening up more story-driven quests for players. Sounds like a bunch of exciting news coming in the next few months! We can't wait.

Massively was on the ground in Los Angeles last week and covering all the latest E3 MMO news coming from the convention. Check out our breaking coverage (or all the Joystiq network E3 reporting) and keep your eye on Massively's front page for the latest developments.

Woot more mini games!! Really this game sucks for the hard core players! And I wonder how much of this content will be locked away for the true free players....

Last time I check, this game isn't for the "hardcore" as you call them.

This game competes with games like Wizards 101, not WoW...Course WoW is so far beyond NOT being a "hardcore" game, just most kids have never heard of or played Everquest 1 or Ultima.

This game is amazing for who it's targeting.

Lots of FreeRealms news! And it is all welcome. Yes I am one of those people that have leveled (just about) everything. Thinking of subscribing so I can get the additional 100 levels (spread across 5 classes).
