ZAM Free Realms Comic Craziness Giveaway Thread!Follow

For Tuesday:

I didn't realize we are to post each day, so if I am misunderstanding please ignore my ramblings! Free Realms is the first MMORPG we've gotten into, so I really like the fact that you can choose to interact with others or not--depending on your mood. (Although I find it difficult to respond while I'm in a minigame and someone wants to talk--I get too focused on what I am doing to pay attention to the chat box!) It is very similar to offline games my girls have from Pony club, so FR seems to be the perfect transition to a more interactive environment as they get old enough. All of my non-member jobs are at level 20 except the drivers, which I am working on now. And since I only need three items to complete ALL the collections, I cannot wait till they open the new desert land for a little variety! One question--has anyone actually seen Chatdy in the realms? Did they even make his character, or is he just for marketing purposes? I am surprised they haven't done some sort of event online with him yet. Anyway, good luck to everyone in the contest!!

Hi! I'm Kaden Skycliff, and my home is Server 7.

My Free Realms obsession is definately PETS! I love the little critters, and I have eight of them! I have six dogs, and two cats. My favorites are my pirate pug, Captain Mojo, and my ninja toyger, Ace. my favorite job is a tie between medic and adventurer. Both were the first jobs I ever leveled to level twenty. While I love the relaxing aspect of exploring, I also have a personal attachment with medic since it has been my dream to be a military medic since I was a kid.

As for my outfit, I have become so known for my panda mask that I actually get yelled at when I dont wear it. My typical outfit is usually my panda mask with my purple shirt, my snowhill defender pants and backpack, my rocker shoes, and my snowy floppy fish. Its both oddly fashionably, yet still very wacky!

Tuesday-

I've been playing FreeRealms since Beta. I really enjoying playing because its a great way to relax after raiding on EQ2. The one thing I'm obessed with is doing quests. In both games I love to see my completed quest number going up.

My favorite job is a toss up between the Archer and the Wizard. Not really sure why these are my favorite but I seem to have the most fun when playing them. Although I have tried to keep all my combat classes close to the same levels.

My favorite pet would have to be my only pet. Which is the Black Lab, that I named Razzmatazz. When I actually buy a pet I'm going to buy my other favorite. Which is a cat from the Stillwater Crossing Adoption Center, named Pooky. I think this cat is soo cute. I'd also buy her a dragon suit. :-}

I really enjoy playing the TCG. I love the art work on the cards. One of my favorite pieces of art is the Baby Wolf Fang eating the bone. If he was real I'd take him as a pet. :-} The game was pretty easy to figure out, also.

Well I think that wraps things up. I enjoy the game very much. I play Drucilla, a human, on Sever 10. I'm hoping that they make Dwarfs a playable race, so I can have my other favorite character. Dirt the Dwarf

What did I do on Monday in FR?

I stood around in game and had my dog, ultra slappy, dig up treasure!

I also put out some trade offers in the tcg and played a few rounds of the racing game- seaside track!

I'm still liking the game on Tuesday, just as much as Monday :). I'm enjoying parts of the new racing changes, although I've hit a difficulty wall on both racing and demolition derby. They've got potential once they're tweaked a little more.

Free Realms has been an obsession of mine since I was accepted into the beta. To be specific, kart racing has been an obsession of mine. I enjoy both the challenge, and the playful style in which it was implemented. My favorite thing to do is race other people. I'm not sure if you'd consider them a reward, but I thought the party packs were pretty darn cool. Not much beats morphing your character into a goat, lol. That's another great thing about Free Realms, it embraces the silliness of it all.

-= For Tuesday =-

I spent all day Monday working on getting my Demolition Derby Job to level 20 and finished the collections for that job to get a nice skull helmet. Took forever but I'm glad I did it.

Today I'm just hanging out on the beach with friends and our pets. Good times.

Cyrano Dai is my primary in Free Realms.

As I described yesterday, I have been diversifying my jobs. Today I want to talk about quests.

My typical habit is to enter a village or town, and simply walk around picking up all the quests that I can. Often they will overlap, particularly on combat quests, so then I can go into, say, Vale of the Ancients, and resolve 3-4 quests at one time.

One of my favorite quest series so far was Chapter 1, which results in being made an honorary Royal Guard, and getting a decent looking tabard to wear. As an adventurer, I now wear this tabard all the time, because who am I to gainsay the Queen's desires. I would have loved to be able to go back and chat with Darkthorne and gain her approval as well, since it was she who had the foresight to anticipate the danger to the realm and took the steps to ensure its continuance.

Mining and searching for relics has recently become an obsession of mine. I can't walk by a "rich vein" without stopping to chip at it (thar's Gold in 'dem hills!). Ramirez in Blackspore shares a common interest in relics, and I always find that dropping by and digging for relics is profitable.

I particularly love the little quest where you get the two "old people" together by jumping down a well. My that was a surprise. I tried to jump down the windmill shaft near the farm south of Snowhill, but alas was unsucessful.

Have you done any person to person races? Getting a couple folks together who all have the same speed and racing from Darkthorne's throne room to the Abandoned Dojo (no teleporting!) is great fun.

I'm the guild leader of Harvesters, and though our membership hasn't taken off yet (in fact, we seem to be swamped in ninja guilds), I look forward to slowly increasing the membership over time as I find kindred spirits.

Until such time,

Cyrano Dai

Same here... and I can't win! /cry

Ah the smell of a Terrific Tuesday, I just finished leveling up my Brawler today. That brings me to 4 out of 6 combat Jobs at the maximum level, with 8 Jobs total at level 20. Brawler was an interesting ride, everything was pretty close combat. I did notice that rock throw had a long range but a small area of target, still it was a great way to pull a single enemy away. Being unable to finish the brawler quest did not stop me from leveling it up.

I am to work next on Warrior, leaveing Wizard for last. I hear warrior is an Area of Effect class, and I would love to see how that works out with me. Wizard I still have no clue what it will be like, but I know for a fact I will find out while leveling up Warrior.

For each combat class so far I have Themes. Blue Archer with a Frosty Weapon, Purple Ninja with a Purple Lightsaber, Medic dressed like the Nurse characters from in game(Nurse Naia), and a Green Brawler with a a hammer spewing Green Sparks. I am working on pictures for each but for now I only show them in game. Maybe I can incorporate them all into my story.

Tuesday's entry.

2'sday

Life on Free Realms has always been exciting. Between the game contents and the social networking, one could easily lose track of time in this breathtaking views and sounds of this realm.

As a young traveler and a dweller, I, Jackson Dryshore has been overwhelmed by the mystery powers of FR. With each unraveling day, new lives emerges around every corner.

So take a deep breath and step into a world where amazing is just the beginning.

There. :P

It's like being KO'd repeatedly.. /shrug
But maybe, just maybe, my persistence inspires then to actually order a few issues of the comic!

Zhouz here, Letter Carrier Extraordinaire. Often times you will find me patrolling server 3 in one of various colored Postman uniforms, always in a hurry with no place to go :)

Proudest FR Achievement: SG400 Tour with no SC kart stuffs.

Introduced to MMOs and Free Realms at Fan Faire 2008. Playing since Beta and having a lot of fun. My wife thinks I am addicted. Level 20 Adventurer, Archer, Brawler, Chef, Medic, Miner, Ninja, Warrior, Wizard. NO, I am not addicted. Favorite thing is the harvesting minigames.

For Wednesday

Rose Era, A woman of many talents and citizen born of Sacred Grove. Quite recently she has decided that her government had wolves in it, nasty vile people that want nothing more than to destroy the happy-go-lucky life that was Sacred Grove. It had show itself slowly over time and since no one would step up when she pleaded, she decided to take up arms. Dedicated to learning the arts of Archery, Wizardry, Medicine, and Stealth Rose Era was going to rebel against the evils in the system and try to save her home. She could not do this alone, what she fought for was freedom and prosperity. She would need the help of other citizens with the same will as hers, other Rebels with a cause. She sent out a call but few have listened, and still she ask for individuals with her ideals to band together and save Sacred Grove. She ask now, join <The Last Rebellion> and help save our home.

zhouz's latest FR obsession: Cataloging the drop location for every blue text weapon.

Wednesday:

My kids and I love playing the TCG both online and in real life (I think that was the first job I maxed out), and since the starter pack comes with a month free I have been neglecting my account and spending most of my time online helping them lvl up and finish the quests they want done before the freebie time is up. Plus I have been having a hard time getting used to the driver controls in quest--I don't know about anyone else but my cars seem to react differently when I am in the lobby by myself vs. in an actual quest. Of course, if it was too easy we'd all be bored stiff! Thanx to those running this contest, and Congrats to those who have won so far!!! I am hoping to win this week too since, like alot of the rest of us on here, I cannot seem to find it where I live. Good luck all! Cya tommorrow!

-= For Wednesday =-

I spent the majority of my day hanging out on the beach with my Pixel Junkies 'mates letting my dog (a pug named Mojo) find treasure for me. A rather lazy way to play, but very addicting and really fun when you have others to talk to and share your finds with. After getting Demolition Derby to level 20 I just couldn't stomach spending much time with Kart Racing. And I didn't really feel like running combat yesterday.

So far today I have put in a bit of Kart Racing and some beach time. My sister and her kids were over in the morning and I spent the afternoon with my daughter enjoying the nice warm day. She is about due for a nap now so I think I'll get in some Kart Racing once that happens.

Cyrano Dai's Journal for Wednesday:

Got my Postman's speedy shoes today, the difference in cross-country speed is remarkable.

My colletion of ants is near completion, when I have my ant army, it will be time to consider conquering my own town...

(Wednesday)

Howdy all!

It is difficult for me to say what I prefer in FreeRealms. There are combat jobs I tend to choose over others, such as Wizard and Medic, and there are non-combat jobs I really enjoy doing, such as Miner and Blacksmith. I think what I prefer is the possibility to do so many things, or to do nothing at all and still enjoy my time! FreeRealms is such a refreshing environment! I've been playing games before and I would get bored fast. There was too much repetition in the tasks, or I would be limited to being only a Wizard or only a Warrior. But in FreeRealms, I can spend an hour collecting junk piles, wild flowers and pet chests, the next hour on mining, and then another hour in dungeons. There is so much choice! And I love the community. In many chat places or games I've been before, there was a lot of flaming and competition between players; it was all about who was the strongest or the most popular. I don't see this in FreeRealms. Oh and I really love having a pet that interacts so much with the environment. FreeRealms made me love dogs more! I am glad FreeRealms exists, it's a great place for children and adults.

Free Realms has easily become an obsession. It allows you the diversity that no other MMO has been able to match. Any job, any time with no pressure on leveling. Collections gallore, minigames to play and a great community of people to talk with.

Collections are addictive. I run all over the world, getting every junkpile, flower and pile of leaves I can manage.

As for jobs, there isnt anything there to dislike. Ive been doing Medic and Archer the last couple of days. Archer, like Wizard is a ranged class. Its great to be able to see your enemies fall before they can even reach you.

Theres only one rule in Free Realms, "Its YOUR world, do what YOU want to do".

Hey JustinTru, if you want any help, just look me up. Same character name as here.
I know that the queen's last hope is about in the same level as Mudshell for the hardest battle ever. Those little snapping turtles never seem to do the trick. lol

well i have already touched on my addiction to collections. and my love for combat jobs. but theres still even more that Free Realms can offer.

for those that like to craft, cooking can be a ton of fun. like mining, theres two different minigames involved. you can play a bejeweled-style game to harvest crops (ore for mining), then, what i think is the real fun, you get to play another game to actually do the crafting. it involves smashing, cutting, stirring, pouring, all kinds of wonderful things.

and if none of that suits you, theres even a TCG. thats Trading Card Game for those that dont know :) you can play online, or theres even a physical deck you can play with friends and family in real life! it provides quite a challenge, and for me, even more fun is trying to collect all the cards. of course, you already know im a huge collector :)

so really, theres something for everyone. from combat to cooking, from card games to chess. there really isnt any reason to play any other game.

Oops, I missed Wednesday. =X

For Thursday:

I was excited for Free Realms ever since I first heard of it at Fan Faire, way before it came out. I spent months looking for info on the beta and I'd check news pages trying to find more new info on it at least once a week. (Ok, so I was *really* excited.)
When beta finally rolled around I signed up asap (and got a handful of friends to sign up too). Waiting for that beta invite was excruciating!

When I finally got into beta I ran around doing quests like crazy and reporting all the bugs I found (which were surprisingly few).
