to comment on some earlier statements i dont care how long you have been in cbt ot beta the fact is even those wont see all that will be launched. cbt is about testing types of ingame systems be it crafting,question, clipping issues and numerous others. as a former cbt for alot of games i can count dozens of games that released with things i never even seen in beta. you guys are so quick to judge based off an incomplete beta when in fact your giving people who are interested bad information and shaping there judgements about tsw when you dont even know whats coming.
on the topic of it being a themepark/sandbox....who cares that it is before any info came out about TSW know how many threads ive read here about some of the same people begging for this trype of game....its here and u still complain.......as far as what funcom did with conan they admitted they messed up and learned alot from it. it gained steam too late in the game but for those who have played it or anarchy online at least have to say they were standout mmos in their time.
the last thing i want to say is you guys are really getting out of control with your negativity about all recent mmos.....you all complained like this about swtor,about tera,now TSW and even gw2 when will it end guys. all you do is complain so much about all mmos because wow has spoiled you to their ways.....take a leap of faith and have fun for once and what gives you guys the right to judge a game in beta when all you have seen is parts..
i hope in the future the mods do a better job at stopping some of these posts that are so negative again opinions are one thing but thats not what you guys have said you are giving interested people an uneducated guess at best of what you think. if you dont like tsw go play wow and let the ones who want something new enjoy it

We're being told we're testing >90% of the game. We also know where the content we're not testing mostly is, which is investigation missions that they don't want us to prepare spoilers for before launch. Even if you don't trust the 90% figure, we are definitely testing eight zones that feel complete, we're testing pvp that works, we're testing all of the normal gameplay you'd expect from an MMORPG.
That's without further qualification. I actually like this game. But there isn't going to be a miracle patch that adds five times as much content and fixes all the bugs.
The zone progression is still pretty linear though. You have to quest in Kingsmouth before you can go to the Savage Coast. Even within the zones themselves, progression is linear. For example in KIngsmouth, as a brand new character, you can't just go anywhere. Stuff on the other side of the river is out of the question until you level up a bit and get better gear and a few AP/SPs. Even the beach and the wisp woods are probably too difficult.
Once you level up a bit, sure you can repeat whatever quest you want in whatever order. Before that, there is still a certain progression order for content.
If you play with a friend, you can go wherever you want in that zone to quest. I played through the zone single, and then in a group of two later on, with a new character - much easier
some of the investigation missions so as not to spoil the fun at lauch (you might notice 2 dead orochi and a laptop in kingsmouth that currently do something, that is the same for us in closed beta its an investigation they are keeping for launch)
the society ranking / faction specific rewards
the token distribution system based on teritory held.
