    Well, what do you think?
    Whatever happened to games that didn't have levels, and that you could have ranged and melee combat skills at the same time,  mastering both..
     
    UO... SWG pre-CU...
     
    Will money dominate developers these days?
    Why is every MMO company out there so afraid to take risks?

    I'd vote no to that since Darkfall is on its way and thats a Sandbox game , yes WoW might dominate the market for now but that will change when either Warhammer / AoC / Darkfall gets out.

    I tried giving EVE a go, that game made me fall asleep.

    I'm not saying death as in... extinct, I'm saying death as in nobody is making any new sandbox style games. I don't blame WoW either, EQ is to blame, but the developers are to blame for not making anything new.
    I'm so sick, just like many, of all the cookie cutter clones out there, 90% of MMO's these days are just EQ shells with some different look and feel.
    But thats a different topic ;)
    Well, that is it for EVE Online... The OP didn't like it so it is considered dead like the rest of the sandbox games. (according to his logic)

    ok, I think I'm done here.


    You know what's funny is that when people are given the name of MMO games that are "Sand-box" or "Hardcore PvP" game they refuse to go play them.

    If you they truly enjoyed this style of game play they'd over look the minor issues and would be playing those games rather then making posts lamenting the the death of these types of all sandbox/hardcore pvp games or berating WoW and labeling it the spawn of Satan.
