You can now go for that Zen garden look with one of the 2 Bridges in the Marketplace -- choose from stone or wood.

For all of you skateboarders and surfers out there ... or even Back to the Future fans, you can now purchase a Hoverboard in 2 styles -- one with a cool glow, like the Warpstones; and the other that's molten lava hot!
The Marketplace has Wizard items again, and all the stats level up with you:

Matchmaking will now connect you with players on other servers! So you don't have to play soccer, demo derby, racing, checkers, chess, or Pirate's Plunder alone!

Jobs and Equipment -- this new version has combined 3 buttons into one, and reorganized it; you now change jobs, change what you're wearing, and change shards/jewelry all on the same screen, using scroll wheels
Consumables
Collections -- this screen is now just an alphabetical list; it is no longer divided into sub-sections

Snow Days is over for the season! Snowhill has returned to its former state.
The Royal Vault has been officially boarded up!

Gulsh is still available in front of the former vault to buy your Treasure Tickets for 10 each.
Gulsh will also teleport you into the old vault if you want to spend your tickets. It is unknown how much longer this feature will remain. (Thanks, Thwap Truforge!)
Gulsh mentions that most of the items that were removed from The Royal Vault can now be purchased with coins in the Coin Shop. You can specifically customize the color of these clothing/armor. The weapons that are available are not color-customizable. (Unknown if this is a bug.)

Note: There appears to be a bug with the Coin Shop not listing all the items from The Royal Vault.
Solution (workaround): You can find all of the items that were moved from the Royal Vault to the Coin Shop using the "Sort By" drop-down menu in the Coin Shop and selecting "Sort A-Z." (Thanks, Darius Darkspice!)

It is still unknown at this time what, if anything, will become of the vault.

Multiple quantities of items can now be sold in the Coin Shop. (Thanks, Genfar!)
The January Member's Pack is now available!

January 14, 2010

Coin rewards have been increased for most activities throughout Free Realms. The purchase and sell prices of many items have been decreased as well. Higher rewards and lower prices will result in Coin Shop items being easier to buy!
By Royal decree, we are phasing out Treasure Tickets to prepare for changes to the Royal Vaults. Tickets will no longer be awarded for any in-game activities.
