In my opinion, its not a sandbox. A sandbox would let you do anything you want and is without "levels". Darkfall has "levels" masked as skill-ups. It also forces you to join a guild if you want to do anything productive. If I wanted play this game as a solo crafter and never wanted to engage in PvP, could I? And how would I sell these crafted items. Is there an auction house? Player vending fronts? No, I'm forced to do trading. Which in the end, would most likely get me killed. If they don't have the tools in place to be a sandbox, then it isn't. They could add features later on which would likely make it more of a sandbox, but as it stands now, it isn't.
Darkfall does not have levels. also, by your definition, there are no sandbox MMOs as even UO and SWG had skill levels. solo crafting is completely viable in Darkfall, i regularly buy stuff from a guy based out of the elf capital that is doing fine doing just that. strictly speaking, forcing players to trade directly is *more* sandbox than having auction houses or NPC traders.

ps: equating 'sold out', which is factually true, does not automatically mean 'zomg blockbuster amazing'. it just means sold out.
Technically yes. But also technically, by not providing the numbers by which it was "sold out" you are misrepresenting facts.
Sold out with 10-20K subs would be more accurate. Those numbers are very low for an MMORPG.
ffs, the facts are that it's sold out. stop trying to squirm around it rofl.
Yes, you're right. The game is sold out. Why are you gloating about it? A game claiming to be Massively Multiplayer that has sold out with only a paltry 5000 or so copies is a source of shame and embarrassment, not pride. It's hilarious that you seem so happy about it.

all your points are factually without merit.
