Free Realms has stepped the paid members experience substantially by adding mounts allowing players to bomb around the fantastical landscape at speeds up to a hundred and fifty times faster than when traveling on foot.
With all the teleportation options one may wonder why they would want a mount (much like one may have wondered what the point was of having a house if the game is all about venturing out on quests) – well consider all the cool hidden nooks and crannies you will be far more willing to explore when you know you don’t have to trek on foot from the nearest teleport hub. in a way this makes the game far richer, but ONLY if the FR team continues to make the world bigger and deeper and more full of surprises, because otherwise it’s going to seem pretty small, pretty fast.
A mount will cost a paid member (approx $5 monthly) an additional 450 station cash points (roughly US$5.00) and they come in up to five colors.
Here is the official blurb from the people at SOE:
“Have you seen players riding around Free Realms on the back of a T-Rex or maybe hovering over the road while riding a winged Dragon called a Wyvern? You aren’t dreaming. these are the first Rides available in Free Realms and they are currently available only to Members.
You can hop on the back of these awesome creatures and ride them anywhere in the overland areas and also at your house! Rides have special swimming animations and can also leap into the air from Launch Pads located around the world.”
You know we at FRG can be a little harsh on Free Realms at times, but that’s only because we care. And when props are merited we are glad to give them. So here is our big thumbs up to this welcome addition to the game. Wyverns, ho!
