Well, I am, and we were talking about it in a global chat channel in WoW today - and even the ones who'd never heard of a sandbox game were intriguied by the idea of one and a confirmation they'd definitely try one if it came out and was polished.

So, who else is waiting for a decent, fantasy sandbox game, and are you playing a game or not?

 Keep waiting guys, waited for mine for 8 years.....

 Nope not waiting. I've got A Tale In the Desert and Dawntide. I'm good for now. =]

As I've said before, I'd love to play ATITD, but I never manage to catch it as it comes into a reroll. =(

I didn't either. Still enjoyable. ;)

Yeah, I'm honestly waiting on the killer MMORTS though. xD

I'm currently wornout with the theme park linear mmos at the moment. Having a very good sandbox to play would be refreshing.

Would love nothing more than a hybrid.  I'd give a shot to a sandbox without full loot pvp.  Heck, I don't even mind open pvp.  But full loot?  Nah.

I play WURM, now *thats* a sandbox... literally, you can sit in a pit of sand and make it a castle.

It would be really nice to see a decent online game get released where the players can actually influence and change the gameworld. I'm not waiting for one though as I dont expect to see one any time in the near future. Who knows maybe in 5 or possibly even 10 years time a good one might pop up.

Read above comment...

The NDA on Mortal Online was lifted today, so more information on that game will no doubt be forthcoming.

I am. I'm playing FE which is a hybrid to me (and don't bother quoting me and trying to pick a fight about what is/isn't a hybrid or what features make it a hybrid- I'm not biting; I've had that debate too many times already, lol).

But yeah, I'm always excited to see a new sandbox game come up. I'm just disappointed that the only ones lately are being done by indy companies. I'd really like to see one made by a company that has the big time budget to put a real solid, full of depth effort into it. A company that can put a SWG(preNGE) like crafting system (with respect to item combinations, factors, variety) into every system/mechanic/feature.

If by sandbox, you mean like UO when it first came out, you can count me OUT.

Basically, yes, but with a few touch ups.

I've been waiting years, ever since UO, and later SWG, were both destroyed by their corporate overlords making fundamental changes to the games that no one asked for.

Anyone else not-waiting for a sandbox because ALL of them have sucked?

fixed

Whatever thinking goes into a sandbox the end result is a bad excuse for no content and lotsa boring grind.

Unless it is called Ultima Online with an isometric view, and todays graphics, I'm not really interested.

Yeah what he said.

This thread sounds like tautology to me, why wait for a new sandbox game, when no dobut you have an existing sandbox game?!?

Been playing EVE online and for me it's definition of sandbox. I loved skill system - no grind, you just log in and do whatever you want.

I just hope World of Darkness MMO would be as sandboxy as EVE but not much information about it as for now.

Currently playing FE just for no auto-aim combat and moderate crafting (at least better from other games) but it's not sandbox at all.
