It would be epic if people would stop using the word epic all the time. It's abused like "extra strength", now we got to use the phrase "clinical strength" to get people's attention.
As much as I love a sandbox MMORPG like SWG was and still is to some degree, I think its time to move past the whole sandbox and themepark debates and focus on a hybrid model which takes elements of both and with a sizable budget and reasonable development time, given that it is polished and has its core features in place that work, some of the major additions came come later after launch, I don't see no reason whatsoever why sandbox and themepark elements CAN co-exist in a MMORPG.
it's just a shame that all of the sandbnoxx mmo's out right now have unrestricted open world PVP, which I hate. Especialliy scince some of them also have full loot for pvp. otherwise i would totally play darkfall or mortal online
there are some exceptions like A Tale in the Desert - that has no killing at all

Precu SWG was sucking up my life. Maybe it would be best if there was never another game like it.

As to what sandboxy mmo am I looking forward to, World of Darkness! Whoo.
Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls.
According to CCP's recent job cuts, I think you will be waiting a while longer.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.
