This is a fantastic analogy. Classic really did allow players an unmatched level of freedom despite the limited design. Some newer games have added lots of variety in different areas, but generally force you down one path.

I feel like other games (eg. Minecraft, Star Wars Galaxies) were much more like Legos. I think Classic EverQuest is more like Lincoln Logs: fewer options, but it still allows for worlds of creativity.
... although analogies can only take you so far: I bet most people here loved Legos more than Lincoln Logs, even though they prefer Classic EQ over Classic Star Wars Galaxies.

And to add some more insult, this is why we get the games we do. The industry knows, most gamers wouldn't know a sandbox if it were placed in the middle of their living rooms. They would not know what to do if a game did not give them maps, clearly marked zone progressions, fixed quest sequences, and locked-in char development tracks. Or, as you put it, a game that is "extremely linear and offers little to do other than kill monsters." Everyone bitches about how mmo's have turned into basically 3d sidescrollers, but how many approach gaming in a way that would move things in a different direction? The answer is none. None players.

This post makes no sense to me.
The only 'freedom' you have in this game, is in the location you choose to kill things over and over. That is pretty much it. It is a big part of the game, but pretending that classic EQ is some sort of creative sandbox is a joke. | ||

Classic EQ might not be a sandbox, but it's not Quake either. For proof, look no further than Green Grocer!
