...Lineage II, WoW, Guild Wars, EQ2 and DDO? (those we have available at local retailers)
My prefernces are sandbox, mature community, deeply built-in crafting, skill-based system (not levels). (EQ2 is less priority 'cause this is SOE ad I tried Trial of the Isle and didn't like it at all (but heard main game is much better))
I'm of course pre-CU fan (left SWG after CU) and I have some r/l time to invest into a good game.
Any advice would be great!
Thx in advance.

Personally, no I don't think they're better then SWG in any form.

I would not listen to this cat, from what i've seen he will love SWG no matter what is done to it. You would have better luck waiting around for another person to tell you. (no disrespect obraik)
dude that is way uncool listen yes i have played lineage2 it is a good game yes its 24 hour pvp but people wont pwn you if your cool or a healer or crafter it is a adult game
and yes nothing will ever compare to our game you see obraik is a nge lover he supports $oe and think what they did is the best game ever his game
if you like my dad still playes forgot what server though i have a lvl 79 pr as well bow user but he is a red and
you would get wtf bbq pwn playing him kinda took out my swg frustrations out on everyone lol ohh yea farmers are currently hunting him
well anyways they have castle sieges and drama and marriages and crafters
down side is everyone is high level so you will grinding somewhat alone depends on the server but once lvl40
you will be welcome with open arms unless you know people who can pl(power level ) you there are thieves exploiters farmers scam artist ebayers
all the things to add content they did take out you dont drop armor anymore l2 went care bear since i am a perma red my dad has a guild if you want to play ill ask which server he is on he would pl hell i pl,ed his butt twice when he started the cata is cool killing farmers always fun
if that sounds like you cup of tea you would like this game
You want loot? Go kill some npcs, you wanna visit hades? come find ME, and dont forget to bring coins for the ferryman,
Please use the right hand side of your keyboard more
Note I said SWG in any form, so that includes all previous versions too...

Check out Rapplez. Its supposed to be skill-based, but I haven't tried it yet.
Or you can check the Lineage 2 or SWG illegalities we are not supposed to speak of.
The problem with L2 trial is that european players can't use it (so am I). So thank you for the contact name - I will send you a tell when and if I will be on.

Thx for the advice. I didn't know "illegalities " are aleady playable. I need to go googling for some time
As far as I know, all of the listed games are 100% class based. You're either a "Warrior" or a "Mage". The crafting in all games listed is pretty weak too.
Of the games listed I would have to recommend WoW. It breaks my heart to say it, because I hate 80% of WoW. It is still, in my opinion, the best MMO to be released in the last two years.
But there is a lot to be said for a game development company that is more concerned with fixing bugs that hitting deadlines. Passed Blizzard games (with good polish) and polish made WoW the 7 million monster that it is.
I strongly expect Blizzard to join my blacklist with EA and $OE in the very near future. I expect games with low polish, spam premium content releases (when you are already paying monthly!?!), etc. from Blizzard within 5 years. If they can avoid growth and money killing the company standards, it would be a first.
I actually shortly tried WoW once at one of my friends' account - he plays it on regular basis. what I saw was more like teen game, not very serious one, like to have some fun and logout. isn't it so?
None of them is a sandbox game, unfortunately. EQ2 is probably closest to a sandbox of those you listed. The others are nothing ilke a sandbox. And since you don't want to pay SOE, I'm not sure you'll be happy with any of them.
I will suggest that you might want to try the Saga of Ryzom. The DL is a bear (2 GB I think), but you can try it for free for a while and see if you like it. That is a true sandbox game and, of all the games out there right now, is probably closest to pre-CU. Since it doesn't really sell retail anyway, but only via DL, it should not matter if your retailer carries it.

I have to admit I never heard that much about Ryzom and never saw it on shelves, but I checked it out. Everything looks awesome - skill-system and crfating and events everything. Checked forums and fan sites - community seems mature and welcoming. I have to try it out! Thx a lot Chessack
Finished it may be 100 times. enough is enough
