Sandbox gaming is making a comeback and challenging gamers to step away from the old linear style of MMO gameplay to try something different! Mythyn Interactive makes such a challenge with their Ultima Online inspired MMOG, Linkrealms. Gamesource recently talked with Mythyn to get the details on Linkrealms to find out what this game has to offer.
Linkrealms is a sandbox game, both in regards to character development, and the world itself. Sections of land can be claimed and customized by players. A player and place his own vendors, and earn a commission from them, and earn commission from gambling games. Event Modules are available which allow further customization of functionality in a players realm. Switches can target doors, candles, torches. Pressure plates when stepped on can cause a chain reaction of events, portals can be opened to friends realms, and so on. A players realm can also be used to grow and harvest crops for use in crafting.
