[...] There’s a lot of Free Realms evaluations/reviews/thoughts out there from this past week, but this one caught my eye. Oh, and Spinks’ detailed thesis on it. [...]

I’m glad you pointed out the lack of educational content in the game. My perspective was that it would be good for my 5yo sister, regardless of content, because it would help her improve her computer usage skills. Now that you mention it, though, I do wish there were games that might introduce her to simple math or reading. As it is, I envision myself reading to her until she’s old enough to read it for herself.

“The starting tutorial is laboriously slow and non-optional,”

That’s because the client is still downloading during the tutorial, so they have to slow you down to give it time to stream over. At least, that’s my suspicion.

Unfortunately all I get is a blank page when I’m trying to create an account =( I run the installation program, and then nothing….

But they seem to be on the ball, I got a response to my email pretty quickly. Hopefully we can get this sorted out. I’m looking forward to checking it out!
