Why hasn't a company come out with a FUN sandbox game where it's all about the player and there are no levels just skilling up forever on what you can do, no stupid raids, no flash points, no instances. Just come up with something epic and new where it would change the face of the mmo world. Is it really that hard to come up with a concept like that you guys think? I'm talking...a good graphics game WITH very good optimization WITH good gameplay. Like player run cities, markets where you can ride your mount to go get whatever the heq you want, fort seiges, stuff like that. No...I'm not talking about WAR or anything like that. I'm talking just a brand new concept that people can do together to FEEL like they are working together more. I am always wondering what a new concept would be in an mmorpg later on in the years. Just no restrictions, no stupid raids, no stupid leveling up crap, just skilling up everything you start with and it gets more powerful over the time you use them. Just like real life. The more you use something, the better it gets. It's probably hard to come up with something like that. You guys think so?

You mean like Planetside 1/2? Or EVE? Planetside 1 came out way before the internet could handle it. I think Planetside 2 is going to be awesome. Constant compeitive warfare. Don't bother with that game if you're a PVEer though.

I too would love to see a "minecraft" like game but with good graphics in a non-fantasy IP with good PvP. The problem is companies are too scared to invest in something so "off the path" for fear of it being a niche game that loses tons of money. I think there is a lot of demand for a game like this but its going to take some balls for someone to put the time and money into making one.

Those resources are then used by your faction to build vehicles and weapons. However, I understand there are missions for fresh/weaker players to do behind the front lines to help their faction, but I don't know exactly what that entails.

They have, try playing The Sims or games like it. About as interesting as watching paint dry IMO but it might be more to your taste.
