Sandbox

[Dirtnap]

I fully understand the term sandbox when related to video games. I don't understand how it fits in instance to this server. EQ is by no means a sandbox. Lets see you start a level one and go level up in Karnors.

It's a metaphor. Big kids in private sandboxes and all. The connection isn't hard to make.

First time I've heard of the term being used for games or MMO's. Not really accurate in this context, but whatever.

This is the definition I'm used to:
