From “Massively”
EverQuest Next has been redone from scratch so that it’s not EverQuest III. Smedley promises it’s going to be the “world’s largest sandbox-style MMO ever made.” It’ll be playable at the next Fan Faire.
The term “sandbox” is used to describe a type of game that is very open-ended and allows the player a lot of freedom. Children who play in a sandbox basically make their own fun which is the basic idea behind a sandbox MMO. So, what’s to happen? an open world, where the players make their own content with minimal interaction from SOE? I’m not sure, and time will tell..
