SOE President: "Content-driven" MMOs have become unsustainable

[Thane Solus]

I'd love to see more sandbox MMOs. But not if SoE is making them.

except that SOE made the best sandbox MMOs to date.

PlanetSide 1 is not a real sandbox Raw, while it was quite nice for its age, it was very limited, open world, some dynamic wars, but the rest pretty popamole: Ultima, EVE, AO, EVE and SWG were superior

Planetside / EVE / Star Citizen mixture could be fun.

As long as the economic threshold to engage in meaningful combat wasn't overwhelming and it didn't turn into a purchase Gold Ammo for victory kind of game.


Maybe people with less money could start out fighting on a planets surface for a corporation and eventually earn enough money for a space craft of sorts.. or steal parts from a crashed ship damaged by space battle.

Although getting bombarded from space would be shitty.

The well known Sanbox Star Wars Galaxies was made by what developer?

a) CCP
b) Bethesda Softworks
c) SOE
or
d) Funcom

Surely you guys realize that he made this statement because his company is about to release an mmo without any content patterned after minecraft where players spend all day dicking around?

 

[Ranselknulf]

Like the Codex with 3D avatars. Perfect.

I long for a game where I can dick around. Preferably in other people's property.
