Free Realms Adds Arachnia’s Lair – Zone Full of Spiders and Lost Treasure

Arachnia’s Lair is a spider-web strewn danger zone in Free Realms beyond the dark and creepy Briarwood Maze – an area that has always reminded us of the hedge maze from the movie The Shining.

Free Realms Launches Speedway Thunder – Mini Expansion

As promised at Fan Faire 2009, SOE has launched its first of several mini expansions, this one being a high-octane Free Realms kart racing and demolition derby called Speedway Thunder.

“It’s fast cars, epic crashes and thrill-a-minute turns.  40 quests for EACH job!”

New karts are available at prices ranging from 300 to 700 Station Cash points (3 – 7 bucks in “real life” US money) two new racetracks – Sandstorm and Thunder Falls but perhaps most significantly the devs have added player Garages where you can:

  • store and tune up your rides as much as you’d like.
  • View multiple angles of your car with a new garage camera controller!
  • Access your garage by speaking to the mechanics outside the raceways!
New garage locations allow you to customize your demo kart

New garage locations allow you to customize your demo kart

The reason we are paying close attention to this final element is that it means that one day it might be feasible to actually enter buildings in the game, or create guild houses or even personal living quarters.  Perhaps even customizable living quarters like they did in Everquest 2.

Here’s a tip on how to get started with the new Demo Derby expansion:

Visit Bill Riddly in Seaside and use these clues to complete a hidden quest!
*
Clue #1
Rain or shine, this rockstar racer always rushes to the finish line.
But, chillin’ with fans all day, when is she ever at the raceway?
*
Clue #2
Never raced – don’t know how well he’d do,
This fluttering guy has a name to live up to.
Find him roaming amidst the hub-bub,
That is, if you can catch up!
*
Clue #3
A vacation by the sea, can be too relaxing, actually.
Even though retired, he still wants more kart tires.

Now get out there and have fun, but dont forget to bring your helmet!
