Not all the stuff they promised is out yet, but it looks like ever week they will be realising new stuff. So far there no new pet costumes, but there is a new pet that is dressed up as a mummy. Also, the costumes are one piece, so no mixing and matching different parts.
There two new mini games one is just like the mining/berry picking/blacksmithing game and the other one is somewhat similar to the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs game that they had running through September for Americans only.
There is a special Halloween prize wheel, too. The decorations are super cool; you can tell that they went the extra mile. All in all, it's a great update. It's just too bad that I have done almost everything there is to do in the game, so I won’t be playing it much. #freerealms
Ash was given a free starter Pokemon by a kindly old man.
This kid got nothing, is too poor for pokeballs and has to fight off wild pokemon with his fists.
Not to mention I think hes an orphan, his parents were killed a few years back when the Moltres they were trying to catch stopped attacking their pokemon and attacked them instead.
Currently, he's forced to steal and mug kids in veridian forest just to get enough cash to eat for the day.
@Boom-Chicka-Ah: Here to Create a Star Commenter Empire:
I am always serious.
The new pokemon series is about an orphan who gets constantly attacked by pokemon while trying to hide out in the forest to hurt local bug catchers for their wallets.
Maybe I should mention that there was already a comic where he found a dead body of a trainer who stepped on a wild pikachu, a creature with just enough electricity in him to have killed the kid instantly.
It was kind of a touching stand-by-me type issue where he found the body, began taking what he could equipment wise from it, and then had to fight off team rocket after they showed up to loot it as well.

Is it me or this whole game-to-comic thing is a new trend ? It seems that I hear more and more about comics from games. Is it a new step in the media. I mean, you reach a milestone when other media are following you. Movie industry is still the leader, but it seems that games are taking more and more place in the entertainment market and that comics from games are just another step. Good thing then :)
Really? I thought the entire goal with free realms was to incorporate every generic fantasy element imagineable and throw them into the game at random without even worrying about plot, character development, or background. I saw absolutely no evidence of any real story and there certainly is nothing unique about the setting. Not that free realms is a bad game. It's a lot of fun, but it doesn't seem to have anything worth bringing to the comic medium.
@Lineofdeath2: Oh, by all means, keep up the negative connotation that adults can't play games that aren't filled with sex and violence. Keep up the false assumption that there are predators at every turn until we're legislated into a corner where NO ONE can do anything fun, where if you even think you might like a wide-eyed character in a game that you're suddenly labeled a sex offender.
@Hobb3z: Well, there are tons of other F2P MMO's out there. I would personally like to see a weekly Top-20 regional MMO, and worldwide.
The big 3 are an important cog in the industry, so anything released by either Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo is likely to be covered and reviewed by the rest of the game industry.

Though with Earth Realm out, I wonder which browser game of the two is the best? Discounting Runescape of course.
Earth Realm has furries, just in case any animal fetish lover is looking for a new MMO.
Edit: Apparently I'm the only one who's played this game. spooktacular!

Sony Online Entertainment, a company even less in sync with Sony's gamedivision than their different regional studios?

And why doesn't Kotaku ever cover info on the other Free to play MMO's? Kinda biased.
