If MxO had offered more in the way of sandbox material, I firmly believe that it would still be running with a decent number of subscribers today.

I always wanted to write missions. I always wanted to run events. I can sit here right now, open Notepad, and over the course of the next few hours, come up with hundreds of new item ideas, clothing ideas, weapon ideas, skills, combat trees, NPC ideas, and neighborhoods. If we'd ever had a way to make our ideas actually come to life in the game, it would've been epic. Sadly, we had to wait until someone started development of a emulator, before we could even realistically think about the prospect of adding more content. And even then, adding new content will come second to rebuilding the old previously-existing content.

You and many many many other including me m8. Thats why i said MxO is in much better hands Fan driven then company driven. I bet my ass that if it was this case from the start, MxO would have still be here and even had been called MMORPG game of the year like Eve-Online and such many years. Because companies like Eve-Online:
they get it.
MMORPGs are Build for Fans and Must be Driven for and by Fans in the long run to keep standing out and to make people come back for more. You cannot half slap a MMORPG. Its not a Single player game you are making and be done with it. Its a Emotional Attachement game you are making to take part in someons life. A place where someone in reallife can return to to live some of his or her fantasies out. That must be the back bone engine and reason for existing for any MMO. You cannot half slap it later on and cheat the players that are paying you to play the game. You will kill your own creation pretty fast. Infact.. Fans will even RIOT and take over your MMO and rebuild it in a EMU or whatever. But hey i am not suprised by that fact. Not at all to say the least. These companies didnt deserve such great games with so much potential in there hands to begin with. And if someone else can make it better...
By all means please.
My opinion.
