Besides, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to transfer invites; | ||

It's not a full sandbox but it has a lot of sandbox elements that fresh things up. Which are where, exactly? I start up, greeted by a familiar yellow exclamation point which seems to be the best way to level up as I'm railroaded from quest to quest with my same action bar tab-target combat system (not that I hate tab-target combat) which led to a really boring first hour. I get that it's not claiming to go full sandbox or anything, but I don't know if I agree that a strict theme park-type progression system with a couple extra side features (which I do hear are fun) qualifies as anything else. Telling me I have late-game options besides the standard raid and PvP activities isn't really sanbox-y, it's just good game design that most theme parks should strive to imitate. Maybe I'm missing something (I admit I didn't play THAT long, though I don't feel I should have to to be convinced of some essence of a sandbox), but I felt no real sense of freedom beyond deliberately going of the defined linear path and I didn't see any way to improve my character without just killing things and doing quests. So to whoever said it reminded them of UO (I figure that was just a first impression of the description), I'm not sure we were playing the same game here... | ||

That's the point where most players will get their ships and houses and there's a whole continent that is fully player driven content. But ofcourse you wont see a lot of that right at the start of the game because it takes time and resources to build ships, castles and all that other good stuff. | ||

You can level up without doing any quests as far as I'm aware. Killing monsters, harvesting, crafting and soon exploring as well all give XP. I think Fido (an inactive german "let's player") said it very wekk in his first video after AA was released in korea: You can follow the start quest and go a very usual MMO pass or you chose the other route and just go freely from now on and that's the beauty of this game. | ||
