  • Originally posted by Bladin Originally posted by Ciredric I highly disagree with your definition.  Sandbox has nothing to do with a large world, what it does have to do with is unrestricted character development.   Hence classes definitely have…
  • Originally posted by Bladin What is a sandbox? ...snip... The term sandbox has been so corrupted that now it means "whatever style mmorpg i personally want" So i'd like to ask everyone here, please don't use the term sandbox as if it was your per…
  • I think it would be great to see a consensus definition here.  I've seen the term "sandbox" thrown around with different explicit and implied definitions many, many times.   To pull from a previous thread, I believe it may be difficult to reach…

  • Originally posted by Forcan -snip- You are making the strong claim that sandboxes are clearly defined, but your feature set uses words like "limited" restriction on how dynamic the world is, "how much" freedom there is in character design, and a…
  • Originally posted by vajuras -snip Freedom in character design - Character advancement - in my opinion, a "true" sandbox game would not have classes, levels, skills or skill points, character statistics, crafting proficiency or the like.  Eve…
  • Originally posted by vajuras -snip- Yes the progression through the Agent missions is heavily gated: Levels 1 to 4. However, the game does not force you to engage in the PVE content The Time Based XP system allows players to roleplay as they …
  • Originally posted by vajuras -snip- Interesting, you assert that "RPG" gets in the way of a sandbox. I haven't reached that same conclusion quite yet but maybe one day I will. RPG does inherently rely on "gates". It's just a theory, more o…
