• • "Sandbox" MMO's can NOT succeed...

    UO, AC1, SWG pre NGE were all very successful sandbox games.  Where have you been?

    Eve today is a very good sandbox game.

    Know your subject before spouting nonsense.

    The problem with the current MMO offerings is that the it is hard to get investors to sign up for something that differs from the Wow formula.  The big companies don't want to take a chance on a flop, yet they keep producing flops anyways.  Eventually they will learn.

     

    Very well said If I won the lotto tomorrow i would go knock on Raph Koster's door give him however much he wanted to make a sci-fi game with his origonal vision of what SWG should have been a Sandbox MMO with a glorified social networking side to it.

     

    Pre-Cu for me anyway was how a MMO should be your living a alternative identity  not just striving for gear.

     

    The day we have a MMO that is Sandbox is Skillbased and you have to visit market's taverns etc to eat and go to sleep at logout is the day i will find a true home.

    SWG died in April of 2005, not November.

     

    CU was a change but it was bearable though we still had all our profs and skills IMO it died in NOV

    Since EverQuest II is full of players. Head on over the the EQ II forums and try to explain to them how their game is dead and how nobody plays it.

    If anything, this ranking proves how full of it some of you are. SWG is only dead in your little hate fantasies.

    Amazing.

     

    EQ2 is dead and EQ2 players are not in the demographic that would use that X-Fire garbage so its a double hitter.

     

    X-Fire stats are crap anyway it can never give a accurate due to the fact I bet not even 20% of a playerbase uses it.
