Hey as long as someone is offering something truly new/different, I'm listening! Themepark sub-genre has evolved quite a bit over the past 8+ years, sandbox sub-genre has barely inched forward a hair.

I love how he said, EverQuest Next would be the "world's largest sandbox" I think the only type of sandbox SOE is aware of are the ones kids play in at the park. I won't hold my breath but I would be amazed if SOE was capable of doing something and not totally screwing it up!

Sandboxes take a lot of work, time and I wont believe we have a sandbox on our hands until I see it.

what is going to screw SOE is them trying to make eq 3 to fit all pc old and new ;/ hell when eq 1 came out i had to get a new pc. I think pc companys got an increase in sales that year casue serveral of my freinds did the same thing.People with craptacular pc's are just gonna complain about the lag casue the world is just gonna be one big seemless world

hope they dont use the same Animators from EQ and EQ2... holy fuking horrible. were they High Seniors hired for a summer project? or mexican migrant workers you found in an alley? whomever worked on DC Universe Online's character animations... hire them. please. for the love of Zek... hire DCUO's Animators and demote the EQ2 animators to janitors. not even exagerating... EQ2 had the worse animations ever. |

If there will be separate sub only no microtransactions, no plex-like currency sale servers I am in possibly. I don't think there will be though as SoE is freemium only, so thanks but no thanks then. |

This is good news.
People can bash SOE all they want. The fact of the matter is that they launched the only two MMO I've ever played longer than 30 days: SWG & EQ2. Playen 'em both for years. They dropped a bomb with NGE, but we all learn from mistakes. |

Now, I am not normally that much of a doomsayer, but I wouldn't be surprised to see 'development suspended' or words to that effect on this title by June next year.

If its a sandbox won't that just alienate the EQ fan base that are used to raid raid raid?

I can't wait for EQN. EQ changed my life and I still think about all of the great times we had pre-PoP after that it just went south. I hope we can rekindle the fire again in EQN and hopefully make it stick this time.

What SOE is going to do is build a theme park game and then have a zone with a playground with a ginormous sandbox and then they can say "told you it be the biggest sandbox ever" ;)
If they really wanted to screw with us they could put like 30 quest NPCs in the middle of this sandbox. |

Last time I remember reading about game being 'reworked' because the team was 'unhappy' with the current build was in UWO. I hope EQNext doesn't end up with the same fate :( I'm not a huge PvE guy, but I'd love to play the next EQ. Sennheiser |

Originally posted by Yuui I don't understand the GWs hype. It's so linear... I hope new games don't start molding after GW2 now. |
