Whereas we're dreaming, I might even be more than Ok with SOE discovering a solution to do EQII's housing in an open-world environment. He plans to add more options, resembling a scorecard that lets you see who the least carbon-neutral gamers are, discovering out your individual carbon footprint and including methane as a second greenhouse fuel. This is a massively multiplayer sandbox, in any case, and i can think of not less than two current AAA titles which have carried out greater than enough to justify tossing these ideas onto the proverbial pile of MMO fail. At the identical time, the firm has minced no phrases about the fact that EQNext is a player-pushed sandbox, so the way it navigates this potential minefield will be fascinating to watch. I mean, I knew that SOE's John Smedley flat-out assured a playable EQNext demo at SOE Dwell 2013. And i knew that it is actually 2013 already, so arms-on time with what might be the next nice sandbox will occur inside of a calendar yr. I used to be going to replace you high quality folk on my adventures in rolling my 17,000th EverQuest II alt for this week's Tattered Notebook, however SOE decided to drop a Fan Faire Stay date on us, which form of mucked up my nefarious plans.
