Dawntide

[Bartillo]

Looks pretty cool, its a sandbox game with territorial control and such kinda like MO sept the combat system is more like WoWs.. really odd for a sandbox. but it is skill based, no levels or classes.

Well, it certainly seems different enough. Sounds pretty interesting though. But then again... If MO delivers everything that's promised, I don't think I'll ever need a another mmorpg ^^ But yeah, that's always a big if. Nevertheless, I'm sure that kind of gameplay this dawntide is offering appeals to some people more, plus the 3rd person perspective...

I wish all the current sandbox creators would just get together and create one game, get it right, and lemme play free for life.

I want that plus a limited edition dragon that spits apocalypse and farts rainbows

on a serious note if the game is targeted combat like wow(as they say it is) its crap as far as I'm concerned, Warhammer was WoW with some keep sieges and a bit more realm vs realm, this game kinda sounds like Warhammer with open classes and some player houses. Fry it, grill it, serve it with potato wedges, no matter how you dress up a terd sandwich its still crap. By the by, their website keeps moving and shifting their info, been watching the game for a bit and they keep changing features and their links and mainpage go down alot, either these guys are just getting their crap together or they can't get their crap together, I'm not holding my breath for this one by any means.

BTW any FPS players should check out Global Agenda:

Hi-Rez Studios :: Global Agenda: Home

this one looks like Huxley only better, if you don't know what Huxley is check it out too, both are FPSMMOs built on the Unreal 3 engine, and both are in closed Beta, U might have to be Korean to get into Huxley though.

I know a couple people playing GA beta. They say its very good. If you want more info head over to Unmoderated.info and check it out for readups and such.

Choice you are wrong, the game is going to be more like wurm, all buildings, roads, everything will be player made and built. their will be caravaning and wagons and boats for transporting goods.. npc vendors and shops.
also all items are dropable on the ground.. like wurm.

everything that makes a game sandbox, because it has a target combat system doesnt mean its not a sandbox. wurm has target fighting.

I don't deny its a sandbox game, thats not my problem, hey if mousing over a guy then mashing a few hotkeys over and over again is your idea of a good time, have at it, not my cup of tea...
