no towns, just meet up with groups in a lobby sort of like mechwarrior online or more akin to a FPS ?

Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
Made by cryptic - which they continued using in STO - and its new iteration is to be placed in NW.
Each better than the previous one.

Hahahaha made by the same developer.... so what was your point again?
it's also Cryptic Studios game
http://crypticstudios.com/
ah, read it wrong, the player made is better than Crypic's own content. That's very cool.
They said they will work with top Foundry users to make the Cryptic content
[mod edit]
Cryptic create second rate ultra-instanced MMO's with zero depth. There is no reason to think this game will be different.
My gaming blog
You could watch some of the videos with lots of open world Quests
instanced content doesnt bother me, even the biggest open worlds consist of 100's or 1000's of small instances linked together. It's all an illusion.
PC Gamer preview they say the world seems huge.
Wow... How is that we've talked about this game so long, and this has never been asked. I never thought that it might be a lobby game, but now that you ask, I can't remember seeing any of the world
Thanks for the heads up,one for me to avoid then.
I would go check the release dates but I dont care that much...so...I do know that Asherons Call 2 had a lifetime subscription offer which is basically the same thing so im not sure which came first.
Anyway, I see the founder offer as being for someone that really wants to take advantage of the foundry because you will only get to use to a FEW times for free and will have to buy unlocks from the cash shop, the $200 founder offer comes with 750,000 cash shop credits or whatever its called, while we have no idea if that is a LOT yet, im sure its not a LITTLE, got to be at least $50 worth...I would hope.

I was thinking the same thing, wow, way to take a straight up statement (which is posed as a question) and twist it around to make someone believe its something different. Just a paragraph of marketing spin.
Its a lobby game yes, like all of cryptics games and a large majority of F2P games. open world games are hard to pull off, so developers take the easy way out, just making a series of smaller maps like a single player FPS or RPG, liking them together adding multiplayer and calling it an MMO.
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
Odd for me any MMO without instances would be one to avoid as they are laggy as hell, especially when too many players are in one area. I don't need 100 players running through the secret long lost dungeon me and my groups doing, to kill steal and train on us, nore do I need to wait hours in line behind other groups for a boss mob spawn to have fun. YMMV.
Umm so uh link please to proof of your statement that its a Lobby game? I'd hate to think your just posting opinion or misinformation.

A 50/50 mixture of open-world content and instanced areas, both of which are playable in groups or alone, but being D&D, groups are encouraged for maximum fun output.
so its not a lobby game

This here. People get so hung on on whether a game fits their definition of MMO that they completely forget that games are supposed to be for fun. It's the number one thing to take into consideration.
yup so many other games coming out that will hopefully satisfy my other "wants" in a MMO.. but none I see with the D&D universe and a full foundry type system.. ill take what I can get and if it works well and is fun ill play it:)

CoH/CoV used the foundry? now that's a new info.
thought STO was the first
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
Correct. I actually don't mind the high number of instances. So you zone into a dungeons.......big deal, don't we do that in everything now? Vanguard , Daoc were the only ones to really get open world dungeons right anyway, in my opinion. EQ worked great also but I doubt many people enjoy camping rooms anymore.
That is a spectacular bit of misinformation there your right.
CoH/CoV used The Architect introduced in early 2009 and developed by Paragon Studios not Cryptic
The Foundry appeared in STO late 2010.
5 zone videos
Chasm zone
Blackdagger ruins zone
Helm's Hold zone
Ebon Downs zone
Vellosk zone
As seen in the videos, there are open world bosses in each zone
Good to see. I'm still very wary of anything made by Cryptic. Hopefully they have broken out of their old habits of zero depth heavily instanced games.
