  Actually, the only Sci-fi MMO I'm looking forward to is Crusades.  Check it out.

  Looks to be a pretty fun experience.  They're in alpha now.  They should really put this up on here soon.

I've been keeping half an eye on this one as well.  It could be fun, i think its more viable option than Darkfall.   But i think earthrise/Fallen Earth will be the most viable options to fill the void.

You might get some pvp types interested in DF but most people that played swg won't got to DF because of the ffa pvp and corpse looting.  Sandbox or not, getting ganked and having all your stuff taken by a bunch of douche bags isn't what the vast majority of gamers consider fun.

sounds good but its still not Star Wars :(

Neither is SWG, nor was it ever.

Even if Darkfall is a sandbox it will still be a tard magnet because of the ffa pvp and player looting. I can't wait for it to come out, though, just to get those types of players out of the games I do play.

You're right on the money with this.

Nothing like giving the psychopaths a place to play.

If DF releases in a playable state with even  half the options its supposed to have..beleive me..you'll never see us again.

I am as well waiting for Darkfall to come out signed on for the beta and the such and awaitng eagerly to come out. But in the mean time for those waiting and want a sandbox to play atm for free The Saga Of Ryzom is free atm but has limited free accounts left  it is a sandbox -skilled based game only cons is the character customization sux. Other than that Im enjoying it like I havent a MMO in years.... and yes there is decay, player housing, unlimted skill options and no cap, and a crafting system :)

One of my long-time SWG pals switched over to Ryzom and loved it for the skill based, sand-box type system.  I'm thinking of trying it myself :).

This does look interesting, and I'm quite impressed to see they're asking people for input on what we as gamers want in a sandbox MMO.

It's nice to see a developer that wants to work with gamers!
