Give me liberty or give me lasers
They've also scrapped the project many times and started over from scratch pretty much, so don't expect any playable demos and stuff
.......This is EQ, you might be on the wrong topic!
This is Everquest next the biggest sandbox you've ever seen, maybe you're on the wrong topic because Everquest wasn't a sandbox.
Smed already promised that the game will be playable at SOE Live.

and...
"Players will have to wait a bit longer to try it themselves, but maybe not as long as you'd expect. "Players will get their hands on an actual release version of what we're doing late [this] year - and I don't mean a beta," says Smedley."

well...and story brick NPCs and raids (yes Smed have already confirmed raids ; )
When they say sandbox I hope they mean it in the traditional sense of the word, and not stupid content creators. Player created story lines and quests are not any more fun than dev created story and quests.
I just want a sandbox in a virtual world...
The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, solo Questing, Cut-Scenes...

Wait.. they didn't mean that this was going to take place on a desert world.. like Dune?
:P
There are so many issues with the playerstudio though. Even discounting the fact that the vast majority of player created content is crap, there is always the porting from other games and the player created items being plagiarized. I have yet to see either Bethesda, Valve, nor Sony come up with decent responses to these problems.
I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.
To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
They have said it is a sandbox, so it obviously cannot be anything like EQ1.
Rather looking forward to what SOE is doing with this game. There is always hope that SOE will do something decent.
With all the long build up over games and expansions, I think we may see two things way earlier than anticipated: EQNext and WoW's expansion. What looked like a dull end of year (unless you like PvP with Archeage) might be quite interesting.
i dont know if blizzard could ever pull it off
theyve said for years (since 2006) that they hope to have expansions out on an annual basis

Why the hell cant it be eq ina sandbox just have raids stuff u can build its a sandbox with a themepark in the middle woooooo wow thaTs SO HARD to conceptualize? just remeber sandboxes have toys in them to u know, we could rebuild a burntout freeport while defending from wavers of rallos zeks minions. And as to that swg comment swg was poop, it died as poop, eqs still around...
I personally dont want it anything like swg swg zones are like eq2, but worsex3 full of nothing pockets of monsters more nothing
just because its supposedly a sandbox( yes its been said it is but is it YOUR definition of a sandbox ? who the hell knows) dont mean it isnt a hybrid to
Smed himself used sandbox style in his discription so with that wording i bet u it will be a hybrid style of game, that has alot of thing thing EQ1 had with more sandbox feature such as clan cities and stuff, some thing i xpect to see personly.

Waiting On: Nothing. Mmorpg's are dead.
Blizz can barley put out a patch everyone 3 months i highly doubt they will ever have an annual xpac. I guess they could call one of their patches a xpac, they have about the same amount of content.
