Hey guys! So I've made a few posts already and just saw this was a thing. My bad! Anyways, my name's Calypso! I made this account about an hour ago but I've been on this forum before. (I just always forget my account info...LOL) I'm trying to be more active on here even though it can be hard for me to make the time. Like the rest of you, I loved playing Free Realms and saying I was upset about its sunset would definitely be an understatement. It was one of few games during my childhood that really made me feel like anybody could be your friend. There were so many in-game features to try out that I always knew there'd be something to do. My sister and I would always play together, and even though we fought a lot, Free Realms gave us the opportunity to come together, play, have fun, and not constantly argue LOL. I remember when I found out the game shut down after its sunrise. During that time I wasn't extremely active, so it made sense that I had missed it, but regardless, I was heartbroken. The fact that it was gone, along with how I wasn't even there for its final moments, was really devastating. Free Realms was a game I thought would be around for a long time, since it seemed there was such a huge fanbase. I'm not sure what went wrong. When I found out people were trying to get together and made emulators of the game, I instantly restored hope. Along the years however, these empty promises have gone nowhere. Being lied to by people you had faith in and advocated for is painful. Everytime I heard the game was "back in-development" I couldn't help but feel hesitant. Free Realms Sunrise, however, has helped me regain hope. I really feel as though the staff understands how much we want this game back and that they are working tirelessly to do just that for us. I know it may seem like the game will never return, but watching gameplay videos on Youtube makes me even more excited. I can tell progress is being made because I can see it with my own eyes, which is something that I never got with other emulators. If FRS can truly get this game back to the fans, we would tremendously be grateful. Hope to see you all in game!
