Didn't the developers call it a "SandPark"? Doesn't this usually turn off Sandbox fans?
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

honestly, i think sandparks with active (non tab) combat are the future...
i think true sandboxes are just too niche and themepark dont deliver enough substance and longevity |

Originally posted by Roxtarr I think there are two types of fans. One can accept a 'little bit different' approach, and evaluate things on their own merits. For the other, it's a political party at least (oftentimes bordering on a faith). |

sandparks.........lol sandboxes have quests, doesnt make it a sandpark. Thats the glory of being an open world sandbox. Please dont try to dum,b down sandboxes by adding themepark garbage to them. |

Originally posted by Uzik Yup - this is true sandbox and does not have ANY rails at all. You can travel to and explore really anywhere you desire to along with naval battles. Darkfall's grind is kill 150 mobs for X prowess. in other MMO's we call that themepark and stupid. In Darkfall it is called "sandbox" and a brilliant system. Go figure, lol...... |

Just saying. |

Yogventures is comming out as well, according to the yogscast's simon "it's all about being a dwarf, and digging, and blowing **** up!" But, from what I have seen it looks like it will be shaping up to be a light hearted, well done, sanbox game. with resources collection, tera forming world influencing, crafting, player owned houses etc.
Now runescape has some sandboxy features and isn't really themepark to begin with (unless you consider that the oldest versions of the game were likely an attempt to make an MMO out of sorcerers kingdom for the sega genesis). But, the runescape Team claims in the comming year not only will they rework farming, player owned houses, kingdom running and the like, but add new levels of depth to the crafting system and a whole lot more sandbox type content. |

ArcheAge is a Sandpark, its what the fans have dubbed it. It takes the leveling from a themepark and the endgame of a sandbox. The class design is a mix as well. Its been heavily influenced by the Lineage series, since it is coming from the mind that created the Lineage series Jake Song. It is not as grindy as Lineage, and supports more sandbox features than themepark features than lineage did. "In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we’ve got another one that is actually going to be – so we’re going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we’re targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can’t hold me to it. But what we’re targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo |

Originally posted by Nemesis7884Apparently games like Minecraft or Yogsventures don't count as games but instead hobbies?...when in-fact gaming is a hobby. And, the OP is talking about sandbox games comming out....it doesn't get more sandboxy then when you are practically building the game you are playing. Did you think before you let your fingers start typing or just let the non-sensical, inate drivel pour onto the page in a free-association rage?

If sandbox was casual friendly, MMOs would't have only taken off in a big way when themeparks came along. Haha, still can't believe this had to be argued. http://lyrics.iztok.org/verse/Lynyrd_Skynyrd/Simple_Man/80615 |

Originally posted by Roxtarr Yeah. ArcheAge is not a sandbox and those who expect UO 2 Korean AAA version will be greatly disappointed. I am waiting on ArcheAge and hope that If publisher will create f2p or freemium servers he will create also separate pure p2p one, cannot imagine playing this game otherwise. Anyway - ArcheAge seems like a mix between WoW Vanilla, Lineage II and UO. There is ALOT of themepark elements in ArcheAge albeit far less than in themepark.
---------- On topic: Aside of AA ? Black Desert propably. |

Beside ArcheAge i would say Black Desert Online, Darkfall UW, personally i don't believe that Everquest Next will be a sandbox, and there are a few other games about which is still too early to talk: Age of Darkness, Embers of Cearus, GreedMonger, Bless, Icarus...
