So for those who are looking for a full-fledged sandbox type of MMO game, there is some good news. There are at least 3 MMORPGs due for release next year (2013) that have sandbox-style features.
"Kakao Games and XLGAMES are today very happy and thrilled to announce the arrival of ArcheAge’s Summer Update, which is available for players to enjoy now." - Kakao Games and XLGAMES.
"It is with great excitement that Kakao Games and XLGames announce ArcheAge’s first content update of 2023. The Spring Update will include a wealth of improvements and reworking of in-game features, engineered by the development team to continue enhancing player experience." - Kakao Games and XLGames.
"Following the positive response to ArcheAge: Unchained’s previous Fresh Start Server, Kakao Games and XLGAMES are delighted to announce the launch of an all-new Fresh Start Server for the beloved MMO title.
The new server will be accessible to ArcheAge: Unchained players on February 9 and will include a host of new improvements to server specifications based on user feedback." - Kakao Games and XLGAMES.
Rather lame article, with very little information about the MMOs listed, and not even the most prominent or interesting parts.
For instance the section of ArcheAge doesn't even include a mention of ships and naval warfare.
Morale: If you don't know about a game more than a few snippets and a wikipedia blurb, don't write about it.
You mean moral. Morale is esprit de corps.
Nice list though I believe there are some another sandbox MMOs under development at this time. They just aren't heard about much since they are lower budget.
For example, check out this link.
http://www.kickstarter.com/... - "Be whatever you want to be in our massive medieval low-fantasy world. Putting the sand back into sandbox, and Massive back into MMORPG."
Oh and Abriael is just being rude. His last 10 submissions were all videos...of other people. Why not try writing or recording your own stuff first and then complaining about other people's work?
Not every single post will cover ever single feature of every game. Some constructive criticism would be okay but to tell someone "don't write about it" just because you use sources instead of being the primary source yourself is just rude, especially as he also does the exact same thing himself.
