Also, sorry you don't like my interpretation of Sandbox, Quazi, but then again, if you saw a brick that had "nuh uh" painted on it, you would argue with it.

It isn't a sandbox, it's an overcrowded amusement park.
And everybody is standing in the E-Ticket Line.
Good analogy.

Quaz is right. Sandbox is used to describe games where players can freely change things and build on their own with little structure. Think more SWG at release and UO. WoW is most definitely not a sandbox game. Terms like non-linear come up when describing sandbox games.

There's nothing sandbox about WoW at all. Like someone said, WoW is an amusement park. What we're seeing now is a new 'ride' in the park that everyone wants to check out, so get in line.
The dailies in Hyjal are decent, but the ones in the Firelands are piss poor. For example, the healing of the Hyjal Defenders and such is a clusterf*ck. It seems buggy too where some are at full health and then fall down burning. There's literally 100 people trying to do the same quests in a really small area. Everyone is just jumping on this FL stuff because they're bored, it speaks volumes.
A true sandbox game is Eve Online, the old Star Wars Galaxies (pre NGE) or Ultima Online.

Nope, sorry, you are using 'sandbox' wrong. Sandbox describes a MMO design direction where player activity creates and influences the content; from crafting full player loot systems to political systems and world building. Darkfall is a sandbox. Shadowbane was a sandbox. UO was a sandbox. Every major MMO to launch since AC2 is a theme park MMO.
