Sony Online Entertainment announces their subscription-free MMORPG Free Realms now boasts over eight million registered users, saying the game "has steadily increased its player base by continuing to support development of compelling content and shared user experience." They also announce the launch of a Valentine-themed event later this week: "Later this week, Free Realms is scheduled to kick off the Festival of Hearts, a special month long event that celebrates love, friendship and kindness. All players will be able to participate in themed events, daily social activities and storyline quests that incorporate traditional items and rewards which embody the holiday: hearts, candies, forget-me-not cards, flowers, love potions and more. Heart Breakers are invited too, as even the Stone Hearted can participate in the world events that ensue. New Hippo, Tiger, Beetle, Groundhog and Owl pets will also be available in the Marketplace."
