  • I don't see the point really of posting concept art.   The WAR pictures which people are posting are not true screen shots.  Some of the classes pictured aren't even in the game.    Most of us have seen real WAR videos and they look very similar to WoW.  I mean, it's a little better, but it ain't a huge difference.   I guess the question is, what is the game play like, and that I don't know.

    NO mmo based on a series of books, game or pretty much anythign that already has a lore can be made a sandbox. A true sand box is a game where all the locations exist, there might be tons, npc faction. But if you want to build your town, state, empire, ship... you can. You should be able to create everything like in real life ( politaical party, organisation, company...) There wouldnt be a main quest, and the notion of class wouldnt exist, pick up an axe, your a soldier, a bow your a bowman. Sure you should be able to learn ball kind of skills. But you should also loose efficiency at the skills you dont use a lot. If a group of players feels like killing your horse raping your family, skinning your pet you've spend countless hours leveling with and making a pair of slippers, burning your house stealing all the stuff you had in your house / chect and then slit your throat.

    They should be able to do it if the game is to be a true sandbox. But this will nevr happen. there will always be a liit in the freedom you get.

    Honestly less than a tenth of the mmo population would play a true sandbox for a long time.

    
     

    That's not really true.  There are some books which are pretty much about anarchy where you could make a game out of them which is a total sandbox.  Mostly these are Mad Max/Road Warrior type books, which have a lore but no real sides.

• • Pvp / RVR ?

  • I literally despise the people who cry for class balance in every game.   It completely destroys the RPG aspect of the game.  The original SWG team knew this, which is why a dancer wasn't as good in pvp as a bounty hunter.  Everyone was fine with this except for teenage cry babies.

    RvR is the new buzzword for sub par video game w/o writers....

     

    You could still have plenty of PvP and maintain the role playing elements of the game.  People who want to p0wn face in pvp will just have to be careful about what class they roll.
