The opposite of sandbox, theme park games more or less dictate player actions and guide them through the game. You are pretty much told what to do and where to do it. Seems most MMOs these days lean more towards a theme park design though. WOW being the biggest example.
DAOC started out as more sandbox. But over the years they've been adding more guidance to the players that is kinda theme park-ish.

You actually Google it?  I did "Prime", "Prime Online", and even "Prime MMO". I went through 10 pages of search results and didn't find the game. Haha. The name is a bit generic, though it is odd that even after 10 pages of "Prime Online" search results the game wasn't found. Maybe they pissed Google off.
The first time someone mentioned Prime I did have to google it. Found a link to the wiki that discussed it a bit. The wiki had a link to the site.

In the time it took you to type that you could have just typed the URL.
Nope. I would have had to google it again to make sure I had the URL correct and then copy/paste it here. It is just as easy for them to google it as it is for me.
Besides, give them a fish and they are always begging for more fish. Teach them to fish and hopefully they start doing the easy things for themselves.

You could reply to every question with "google is your friend" if you really wanted to. This is a discussion board after all.

Being a discussion board I can post what I like.
If you look at my posts I often (usually) give links and very detailed answers. It is rare for me to just suggest the person use google, but sometimes suggesting people remember that google is available is actually the best answer (esp. when the question seems rather silly and/or easily found using a simple search). Which answer I choose, and which answer I feel is appropriate, is totally my prerogative.
Give a person a fish and they are dependant
Teach a person to fish and they are free.
You may feel that keeping people dependant is appropriate, and sometimes perhaps it is. Not all the time though.

Right; because there are so many people on the internet that don't know what google is or what it does.
In other news; apparently the game is supposed to come out later this year.

Wow, you got defensive pretty quickly.

Evidently.
It would seem that there are some that do not know about google or they would use it and others seem offended at the mere mention or suggestion that google could be used to get answers to queries.
