Premium memberships start at $6.99 per month and include a variety of additional perks including the ability to reach level 80, take pets into battle, trade and compete on leaderboards.

"Our goal is to make the Freaky Creatures universe accessible to gamers of all ages and backgrounds, and our new free-to-play model is an example of this philosophy," said Jamie Ottilie, President and COO of Abandon Interactive Entertainment.  "This new venture will grow our expanding community even further by offering new players the chance to sample the contagious, interactive experience of Freaky Creatures."

About Freaky Creatures
Freaky Creatures combines the best of online multiplayer gaming, collectible action figures, virtual worlds and social networking.  The Freaky Creatures experience begins with a starter pack that includes two action figures and a one gigabyte reusable flash drive that unlocks the Freaky Creatures universe.  The initial creatures come with 50 different parts, 20 powers and four objects that can be placed into the creature's lair.  Players can take their creatures online and customize them using rare parts and powers to create one of over 3.2 billion possible combinations. Once players have created their custom creature, they can jump straight into battle or build a lair where they can care for their creature and hang out and socialize with friends.  Gamers are encouraged to visit the community to personalize their homepage, play mini-games, join tournaments, check leaderboards, trade items, read animated comics, enter contests, form teams and much more in the ever expanding Freaky Creatures universe.
