Are there any good sandbox MMOs out there? I was really big into Star Wars Galaxies, but that is obviously not a sandbox MMO anymore and Saga of Ryzom is dead. Are there any other games that allowed the freedom that these games once allowed?
My problem with EVE is that you are restricted to your spacecraft. I played it for awhile as well.
Hopefully that will change this fall with Ambulation. I personally had issues with this at first as well. As I started getting tired with the genre I started up another trial of the game and this time it stuck with me. Either way, good luck in your hunt for the game that suits you.
yes EVE is not a sandbox........... its a beach....
having said that it can be a good game if you know what you want to do and prepared for a steep learning curve (or overhanging cliff curve lol)
Try the trial, although some content is not available on the trial it will give you a decent idea of what the game is like, it does require a large time commitment to begin with due to learning curve imo
Hmm, maybe Mabinoji. I mean, i'd think that all MMO's would be "sandbox" due to the way they are described. Anyways, I would guess the best "sandbox" i've layed eyes on (that is FREE) was Mabinoji. There was SO much to do, I don't think think I figured it all out.
In fact, I'm going to re-download it right now. Thank you. :]

EVE is your best choice. Try the trial. If you have the wang to sit through the tutorial i think youll enjoy it.
I wish people would stop saying EVE... It's a lame game and most definitely not a sandbox, or at least not a very good one.
Do you know for certain?

Matter of personal opinion, and I disagree.. Just what is it missing that you require for a game to be considered a sandbox game?

I know how you feel. When I play MMO's I always felt restricted by being stuck in my character.....
