Free Realms was totally life for me. It quite honestly saved my life many times. It was an escape from reality for anyone who played it. If you can somehow bring it back, I personally would be so grateful. Summer is not the same without Free Realms. Thank you andrewsunlight for doing whatever you're doing. Please help to bring back the game.

Free Realms was totally life for me. It quite honestly saved my life many times. It was an escape from reality for anyone who played it. This. Free Realms remains a highly-nostalgic game for me, because of all the little things it served: friends, housing, exploration, glitching/bugging, waking up early in the morning to log on... I could go on. I miss all the quality time I'd spend with my friends, whether it be talking, collection collections, building houses and sharing ideas, and just hanging out. I was obsessed with housing. I would always go into my lots and create things I had in mind into reality. It was such a dynamic housing system that you could create anything with it. I remember when we got portable dance floors... Wow, I was then stunned at how cool the whole housing thing was. I loved exploring around and looking for coins, collectibles and such. I usually did this with my friends, and it was so much fun now that I think about it. Perhaps my favorite are the glitches. I loved the glitches in Free Realms, simply because they did things that other players didn't get to see. Here's a list: - The out-of-bounds glitch remains a favorite. Players would exit from the bounds of the game through certain areas of Free Realms that had missing boundaries. Behind the bounds, I brought a ton of friends to walk with me, and we all shared our ooh's and aah's. We usually started at Seaside, and made it all the way to Briarheart. Yes, it did take us over an hour. - The character clothing glitch. You can mix pices of clothing of any Class onto your Adventurer clothing. I even got a weapon from my Archer Class onto my Adventurer! - The super jump glitch. I was probably the first player in Free Realms to discover this glitch! First what you need to know is how to do the high jump. To do the high jump, you need a large launch pad inside your house or lot. The moment you jump on the launch pad, leave your lot. You will see that instead of jumping high in your lot off of the launch pad, you will jump high off of thin air in the real world (this was patched like a few months before the end of Free Realms). Ok, now here's the super jump. It's basically like the high jump, but way, way more higher. You could jump so high that you can get from the ground to the top of Sanc Tree! You can get on top of anything with this. To do the super jump glitch, you need a lot or house, a launch pad, and an elevator block. Okay, here's how it works: Place a large launch pad, then rise it up so that you can go under the launch pad. Now, place a elevator block upside-down on the launch pad, then rise the elevator block a little over the launch pad. Now, stand under the elevator block and launch pad. What you're trying to do is have the elevator block "squish you" between the launch pad and the elevator block itself. Finally, you'll get pushed through the launch pad, and once the elevator block pushes you through the launch pad, you'll fly extremely high! Now, the moment you go through the launch pad, leave your lot and you'll see that you are flying very, very high in the real world! Enough of my babbling, Free Realms will be missed, and never forgotten...

The reality of this game coming back is not only slim but requires something that the current ex-FR community lacks, and that is both unity and coherence.
Until someone of a real high profile (a famous youtuber, for example) starts spearheading a campaign to bring the game back, it won't even be considered. Individuals sending emails just get lost in the sea of emails every major game developer gets, that's just the fact of life.
The RP community has all but accepted this and moved on to better places. I personally know that many of the ex-FR roleplayers from classic names like "The Warrior Cats of Bloodclaw Clan" to "Blackpaw Werewolf Pack", and beyond have gone to the following places. It is by no means Free Realms, but there are places to go that some of us have started to call home.
1. Feral-Heart: There's a ex-FR community under a new world called Final Chapter, you'll find a lot of the Warrior Cat and Wolf roleplayers there. 2. Wizard101: In my opinion this game isn't that good, but I've heard a lot of FR players went there. 3. TERA Online: Another MMO Fr players have found. 4. Elder Scrolls Online: Both on Console and PC, very lore-rich game, with RP opportunities too. There are adventurer clothes for just being social as well. The game (To me) seems as close to FreeRealms as I'll ever get.
I'm not saying that FR will be forever gone, but these are just things to do while we wait. For now, all we can do is sit, wait, and try to tell our story to as many people as we can. Maybe eventually someone will take notice.

Why would they renew the copyright? Well, it's more of the issue of it still being their game I believe. I was wondering if it expired in the first place, even considering it's completely gone. They created it, they were the backing force of the game. And the reason for the amount of attention it got(Sony's pretty big). Your theory is disproved by the fact that's it's THEIR game, they are looking for success. Why would they be jealous of their own game? If it had more popularity in comparison to their other games it would still be here. They are a professional company, my point is backed up, again, by the fact that the game doesn't exist. How could someone be jealous of themselves? You do know that Everquest is by the same exact same company, right? This is by far the most conspiracy-theory-ish point in this entire thread, no way they would jeopardize THEMSELVES. Quality of either Daybreak game has pretty much nothing to do with this. Trust me, they care more about money then being petty things like being spiteful(why would they even be spiteful?). Like I said before, if Free Realms was successful enough, especially their MOST successful game, it would not be gone. All logistics point towards this. It was not just "the creator" of FR, but John Smededly, president of SOE itself, that made the comment about demographics and success. And specifically, he said "Kids don't spend well". Again, supporting my point that it just wasn't making enough. www.reddit.com/r/EQNext/comments/1w2lu2/im_john_smedley_president_of_soe_amaa/cey51pv?context=100001. Can you get the soe fr team to even read your request for the models, landscape and what not, get approval for it, AND gather teams to work and upgrade it, if so, he can't either. It's not that simple Like I said, I agree with you on the fact that it was entirely wrong to even start/promise this thing when the likeliness of it succeeding are so slim, but you have to realize that they are just that, slim. He was wrong for promising the game, and also wrong for running away too, but if he had one thing right it was recognizing that things are not as simple as they seem(even if too late). I think you all need to realize that, too. 2. He actually DID send them an email for approval, they didn't respond. Well, I think that if he were to ask, but first wait the supposed two years, they might go ahead and give him the stuff he needs. But that's just me. And to be honest, the whole "They were looking for success" is kind of false because like I said, FR was doing okay. It had a lot of money coming in and was doing relatively okay. "Why would they be jealous of their own game?" Why wouldn't they? They see that FR is doing really good and is getting a lot of money in and stuff practically daily and its taking attention from OTHER games, so they create this bullshit reason to close it so that games like Landmark can get a lot more attention. "It was not just "the creator" of FR, but John Smededly, president of SOE itself, that made the comment about demographics and success. And specifically, he said "Kids don't spend well". Again, supporting my point that it just wasn't making enough." Again, lies. If it could make it from 2009 to 2015 with little to no signs of money trouble, then its okay. I also just wanna add that, to the people saying "quit worring about free relmz and moov on!!!111!1!", stop. It's not gonna do anything but agrivate people and intensify the determination. We wantour game back and we will do anything it takes to get it back! Its obnoxious to tell us to move on, stop it.

i remember being a very little kid(like 6-8) and going onto the free realms website, create multiple avatars, but because i didn't know how to properly use a computer i never got into the actual game. 3 years later i actually logged into the game(after long and hard searching because i had forgot the name) i played until my parents would LITERALLY have to pull the laptop off of me. i completely forgot it for a couple of years, so just for nostalgia and memories of the fun, i came to log back in last year, but it was gone, i almost cried that i had missed it i would really love for it to be re-launched.

And to be honest, the whole "They were looking for success" is kind of false because like I said, FR was doing okay. It had a lot of money coming in and was doing relatively okay.

"It was not just "the creator" of FR, but John Smededly, president of SOE itself, that made the comment about demographics and success. And specifically, he said "Kids don't spend well". Again, supporting my point that it just wasn't making enough." Again, lies. If it could make it from 2009 to 2015 with little to no signs of money trouble, then its okay. Because it's still going into their pockets, it's Sony, multi-billion dollar company, if Realms audience moved to Landmark's or EQ Next(Everquest being a far better known game by the way) that wouldn't add anything. If they want Landmark to get attention, it's probably for potential net gain, they wouldn't get rid of a more successful game for a less successful one, that makes no sense. It could make it from 09 to 15 because Sony is a multi-billion dollar, they had the money to keep it up probably...that's not the point. The point is it isn't making enough for their standards, it wasn't pulling it's weight. Sony isn't going to go broke anytime soon, but again, not the point. But the theory that they were jealous that their game was making too much money is dumb, unless your saying it took away some attention from their MORE successful game but they wanted Landmark to be more of a flagship. But if FR was making even more than SOE's best known game they never would've took it away, period. It doesn't add up. Without any signs of money trouble? There we no signs of a flowing stream of money from the game either unless you want me to believe you're somehow more reliable than than the company itself. And if they removed a more successful game for a less successful game for giggles or image or bias, I have to ask, so what? If the heads of the company prefer one game to the other, so what? Are they evil for wanting to control the way they run their games or something? I'm quite sure they wouldn't remove a more successful game for no reason whatsoever, that doesn't logically make sense. I can definitely respect agree with bringing the game back, but making a game company seem like villains for removing a video game in an attempt to bring more success to another is stupid. On to the actual project, I definitely think if you're going to illegally recreate a game, while it's fine and has been done multiple times with different games, you should make it alot less public. Personally.. I can respect that. I've gained a way more less pessimistic view on this, just gotta curb my enthusiasm. I just don't want anyone to be mega-disappointed in the future. "Move on" and "get over it" can mean different things right? It's kinda done with moping about some guy failing a project of a currently dead game. It comes back, be happy, it doesn't? Be sad. But don't be angry, it's a waste of energy when it's not something completely in someone's control, including OP's. There's nobody even on this forum, every time someone post once in five days it just seems like yelling at clouds. It's just dumb dramatization of something so small that doesn't even have ground anymore. There's a much active forum with people willing to work on it (9 months is a long time mang). freerealmsrevival.boards.net/It's just silly to see people get mad over something when nobody's even *around* to control it. It's a waste of their time.

The reason why Free Realms closed was mainly due to internal issues at Sony Online Entertainment and Sony as a whole at the time, not because Free Realms itself was a failure. In fact, it was received particularly well all the way until sunset. Do not let anyone destroy your hope of the game coming back one day or belittle you for the great memories you had all those years with Free Realms.
Shenmue 3 is coming, and that seemed impossible to everyone but the Shenmue fans who have waited for well over 14 years. 14 years, but it's coming now eventually.
Free Realms WILL come back if there's enough demand, mark my words.

Okay I've actually forgotten about Free Realms till earlier today.
Man, I loved the game though, so many good times. Shame it had to shut down, I guess money rules over emotions doesn't it.
If there's any way to get this game back up, I'm all for it, but with all the accounts that were lost I don't see many ways in making it the same. I had so much invested in it, and it's all just gone. Has Sony even gotten in trouble for taking people's money and just shutting down the game? I haven't heard.
Point is, I want the game back, but I'm also thinking it'll be a big mess to get it back.
