    FYI: There is already a 27 page thread lamenting about the lack of sandbox mmorpgs, what is the definition of a sandbox mmorpg, and starting on the second page, whether or not WoW is a sandbox game.

    A sand box is a sand box, but because players arent leaving wow...for this linear cat box games. It says something about holding the tide for a greater sandbox future. All the 2008 games came out the same samller linear and easy....I just hope future developers are listening.....Its pretty much a win for the sand box, persistent world crowd.

    Yes but does it cover the fact that all MMos of 2008 failed ...because of a nonpersistent world.

    cam, there is a difference between a persistent world and a sanbox, sure, beind able to walk around a whole continent is nice BUT if i cant build my own walls to claim a section of the continent as my own or kill someone randomly, anytime, anywhere, and steal all their stuff then it just cant be a sandbox...this is semi exagerating of course but get it into your thick skull, wow cannot be a sandbox, it just isnt plausible

    What? the worlds in AoC and WAR are just as persistant as in WoW.....

    Could you clue me into to what your standards are to consider an MMO from 08 to be a failure? Im curious as to what the rule sets are in your world.

    Someone develop a game where the pvpers hold the lines so that pveers can do there job and assist the pvpers or vise versa.....in a destructable buildable world.

    I call it something new that gets old fast and makes the mmo world smaller rather than bigger.

    what the hell does that have to do with this topic? and AoC didnt fail because it was a nonpersistent world, i didnt mind that at all, it is simply too bugy, imbalanced, failcom is completely screwing up the FFA pvp system, do many empty promises, and yeah failcom fails...

    no, WoW is a persistant world except for having to load into specific instances or traveling between continents, AoC has an instance for each section of the world...WAR, well i dont know i havent played it...

    Then why are you so in love with WoW? It single handedly killed the artform of mmo development. Theyre the ones to blame for your lack of sandbox games. Who knows, had WoW not come out, maybe we'd still have a great underground community where developers listen to players more than investors.

    i guess you do have a point, failcom claims to hold a 450k sub base atm, that will prolly shrink with WAR but 450k x $15, that's a lot of money, on top of the over 1million x the price of reg or collector editions of the game, definitely made a lot of cash, i bet AoC will hold at like 200k after WAR..if it gets that low, and then slowly die unless funcom pulls a miracle out of their bums
