Free Realms June 4th / 5th Update notes.

Only got highlights info so far. I’ll update when and if full patch notes appear.

With patches coming on a weekly basis at the moment, I’ve been very satisfied with the amount of goodness in them. Of course, we are in the early phase of a game wherein the new content is mostly stuff that ideally would have been in at release, but wasn’t quite finished in time.
