Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Team Ramping Up to Another Pre-Alpha Event This Fall
As the months roll on, so too does the Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen team! They're hard at work on progressing through a variety of development milestones on the way to yet another pre-alpha event that will likely kick off later this fall.

I don't think this is supposed to be a "sandbox." https://pantheonmmo.com/game/faqs/ 20.8 What does Pantheon have to offer a fan of the sandbox style game? Pantheon is definitely more open world and ‘sandboxy’ than many MMOs, but it is still at its core a game system, not a true sandbox sans rules. But the key point is that you can go where you want to go, take on whatever you want to take on (though you may die trying), and travel to wherever you can see (assuming you don't freeze to death en route). So, the decisions are yours -- you are not being led around by the game on rails, with only so many options or decision points.

It seems more sandboxy then what's currently on offer for a pve mmo that's good enough for me
As it looks right now but they have come ALONG WAY from where they were 6 months ago. Wonder what they will look like closer to launch. I think tmthings like animations are still mostly place holder or work in progress.
Interest Meter +1
it's a good starting point then, because VG animations were launch assets, these are pre-alpha place holders animations.

What are your examples of a PvE sandbox MMORPG?

Fully agree with this, but I do hope it is a huge world.
I'm curious to see how this will play out with today's gamer. But for me, it's a big NO!
I remember back at launch in everquest that many said the same - there will always be ways to solo if you really want to
Project Gorgon is very sandboxy and PvE. If you're in any way old school then I think it will appeal. Brilliant game.
I feel the same but would happy been happy if I could group up with 1-3 good friends and get somewhere. Turns out all the main content is being designed for 6-person groups (and raids, ughh) I'm disappointed that there's no flexibility in group numbers, and scalable content. 6 people is never going to be a cosy group size for some of us.
Oh that gives me hope! I hope you're right. I'll wait till I see some reviews first, but if it's possible to play solo, then I won't write the game off just yet.
Yep, there was. It involves missing out on much of the content that the developers spend their time on though. Again, I'm sure another typical response would be: 3-4 man groups will do the content that is designed for 6 people. Sure, but it's a shame that there isn't any scaling for the non-uber amongst us that aren't up to it, and don't have 5 people we want to hang out with.
If you are fighting stuff below your level, and are overgeared for it then ANY class should be able to solo it, not just class's that can solo! I have watched all the dev streams and talked to some of them via twitter, so the message has been kinda mixed. They say you can solo in the game, but the game is group? What exactly does that even mean? Can I level up to max solo, but it just take a long time? Or is it that you can only solo starter area's? And I am not saying this as I want this game to be just a solo experience, I am very much looking forward to what their vision will be! But I also don't want it to be as bad as EQ either to where once you hit a certain level, you just didn't level unless you had a group, played a certain class that could solo, and it still take forever to level. I don't want easy mode WoW leveling and gearing, I just want that to be a viable thing that I can do while I sit in game while my friends are not in game, I don't always want to be in a group!
I have very fond memories of EQ 1 as a lot of people, but I don't look upon EQ 1 with rose colored glasses either, because let's not pretend that game didn't have it's share of problems that frustrated everybody at some point!
