When it comes to graphics I think Ryzom holds up quite well. A lot better then say UO, AO, DAoC and even the likes of Vanguard, EQ2 and the original GW, it seems to age much slower. This all is opinion ofc and I like the graphical style Ryzom uses a lot.
The combat? That is a matter of preference I guess, it is old fashioned yes, I like it that way

It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

I just tried Ryzom...it may have been a good sandbox mmo in 2000s, but the graphics outdated combat was more than enough for me to click the quit button ratherly quickly. Trying Wurm online because I heard good and bad things about it.
Ugh Wurm is 100X worse for graphics.....ALso the server crashes often and the game play is archaic at best.
I would like to say this is the most realistic world I have played in. So for you guys who say this isn't a sandbox well.. The seasons are great, but what really got me was I was digging for bark, and the werid cow things seem so real, they even were randomly eating the grass.
Still the toughest, and best mmorpg running. The original SWG was a better sandbox, but that's long gone. I come back to Ryzom every so often just to remember what "challenge" means.
