What sandbox elements don't you want

I'm a pretty pro sandbox, for me the greater the sand the better, but there are things that I don't like.

1. I don't want to have to eat constantly, but on the flip side of that I'd really like for food to increase stats enough that people wanted to eat, and buy food items from crafters. It's a narrow band I sit in, I don't want to have to eat to beat that big boss, and if they make food too powerful then you would have to, but I would like the whole thing to be a vital part of the game.

2. I don't want to have to gather all the time. I hope they make it so that there's some balance between crafters and adventurers. I did feel like EQ had it.

3. I don't want to have to sit in a tavern. I would love for SOE to give people that like taverns the tools that would make people want to hang out there, but I don't want to have to.

    The more Ultima Online it's like, the more I'll be interested.  It doesn't have to be like Felucca UO, as I'm sure they have their own plans, but the PvE sandbox elements there were second to none in most cases.

    That said, I don't expect a UO clone as it's a different game, but it's definitely a place they can look at and see what was there as a basis for things (especially since it's presumably a fantasy based setting).

    Though with such statements as "the biggest/best sandbox ever made" I'm expecting it to surpass UO in a lot a ways, if not down right have the same feeling and capabilities thereof.

     

    I wouldn't be all that interested in a hunger system unless it wasn't too intrusive of game play and the other features.  Then again if it's done right it may be interesting.

    I doubt it would force anyone to do much of anything, as sandboxes are typically non-linear and let you do pretty much whatever you want (that is unless guilds or groups make something and have rulesets, such as if they make a town or have events).

    Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).  German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century.  Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now).  I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).  In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while.  If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.

    Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this.  If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own.  Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis.  Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.
