SOE seems to have endless methods of potential revenue in this game. Subscriptions, cash mall, advertising - if it becomes a hit, they'll make profit from every orifice. Unfortunately for those who want it as a family game, the family sub won't be ready at launch. Without kids, I don't see much reason for subscribing to a game like this, personally. Hopefully, there will be a way to merge several accounts into a family one at some point in the future.

MMORPG.com is giving away keys for this. I just looked and there are 900ish left if anyone is interested.

Are the system requirements for this common knowledge yet? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I hope it doesn't auto-register you on a pedophile watch list if you enter a birth date < 1990.

I just signed up through MMORPG.com (thanks Signe!). There are still ~500 keys left. You can just get one of those and use that to activate your account.

Argh.
1) There is no white hair available in character creation. 2) I went for a star under the left eye, but once in game it is under the right eye.
Fail! This game sucks, I am not resubbing, let me fire Darkfall up instead oh yeah.

This game appears to have an NDA so hush, hush. We don't want to compromise Grimwell! I wonder if we can tell our names, although I'm not even sure there's a group/guild whatever yet. I should probably read stuff on their web thing.

Technically you shouldn't even be saying you're in beta. Not that anyone took the hints I was dropping.

In the FAQ, it only says you can't talk about what you see in the game. As a Free Realms beta tester, you can't talk about what you see as a tester. That means you can't chat about it with your friends, share screenshots or videos, or write about it in your blog or your favorite social networking site. It's important that we have the chance to fix things that are broken before the whole world sees them. Please help us out and don't talk about anything you see in the Free Realms beta test until beta testing ends. You can, however, direct your friends to www.freerealms.com so they can sign up to be a beta tester too! I think saying you're in is okay although after reading stuff on their web thing, it says nothing about whether you can tell people your name - so I won't.

You are everywhere in the inner-tubes lately, Grimwell! I have to say, tons of people are getting keys from all sorts of places.

In the latest twitter update (5 minutes ago or so), if I click on the mentioned link, I get re-directed to the free realms official website...Is that right?

Oops, when I applied for beta a few months ago, I think I used my 1999 "Are you a member of the media?" Station ID. This causes alarms and sirens to ring at SOE and there is never an invite. I'll have to use my 2003 "Are you an unemployed bum?" account.

This beta is so easy to get in to that I'm thinking you guys who are rejected must be Pedo-flagged.

Y'know, registering into the free realms beta gave me a key in just a couple of days. Way better than tracking down key giveaways in random sites. Just sayin'

I don't know why I have 4 sony station accounts. Did Sony Online consolidate a bunch of stuff at some point? I applied for a beta key 3 times in a 24 hour period. I'm sure they think I'm a  trying to get in by now.

I know. I seem to have a lot of SOE accounts, too. I know why I have so many account names on NCsoft, but I don't remember that sort of set up with SOE. It was very confusing.
