So OOO said they are adding a sandbox feature into the game meaning that it is all open-world. Isn't this gonna take forever? I would link it but I don't know how to or how to do it with highlighted normal words.

The announcement didn't say it would be a sandbox, it said they want it to be a 'sandbox-type experience.' I would say the chances of the arcade becoming either an open world, or a traditional sandbox, are very, very low. We'll just have to wait and see as they phase in the changes.

And here is how to make a hyperlink in html.

I get it. So very huge maps or something?

My opinion:
They are removing the arcade and give you a menu with acces to any level in a sort of "build-your-own-adventure" sandbox.

I was thinking more like a large map randomly generated per each gate. So it's like go NE to find a Beast Strata, and then go SW to find a Shock Strata, etc.

But that's just speculation on my part.

NE? SW?
Juances, that would ruin the entire point of the "Grab minerals, deposit them" story and would possibly destroy Wegner or change his texts in an evil manner as what they did to Energetic Knight during the Sprite update.

Oh my gosh, is the Energetic Knight still alive?

That would be so funny, considering, well. You know. :P

My guess for the sandbox is

My guess for the sandbox is that it would be sorta like the guild hall furnishing functions, just with level item stuff rather than furniture.

when i hear sand box....

I do not think a big open world. That's stupid.
I think of infinite possibilities. Just like a sand box, we are giving varies tool and put in an environment. Then imagination happens.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Well, what I'm guessing is that there will be like now, but with 10+ levels per depth and no stratus. Instead, for each level, each player may donate a few minerals which will limit the possibilities chosen by RNG.
