Earthrise was the first one that came to mind for me too. I believe the devs have made comments that they very much intend to make it sandbox. I'll see if I can find some posts or interviews from them.
Star Wars Galaxies is still very much a litterbox mmo.
fixed for ya.
About choked on my soda, hell of a fix job.
Out of every 100 men, 10 should not be there, 80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters. Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior, and he will bring the others home. -Heraclitus 500BC
Perpetuum should be added. In closed beta but big additions are being put in atm.

Um, Ryzom has been back for like a year now. Might wanna update your info there.
Edit:
WTF?!? You necroed a 2 year old thread? Someone slap Gremrod with a wet trout.
-Letting Derek Smart work on your game is like letting Osama bin Laden work in the White House. Something will burn.- -And on the 8th day, man created God.-

LOL, I thought your eyes were wide open?
Guess I must have blinked.

I would consider AC1 more of a hybrid MMO. It's themed and the dungeons don't change. Still a player can train a character any way he wishes. All skill paths are open to him.
lol ac 1 is more of a open game then any listed. and yes dungeons to change and the game adds new content every month.
In Ac you choose the way you want to play... hell you could lvl by gambling all day and making cookies...
At best it's a hybrid themepark with minor sandbox elements.
Tis true, wouldn't put FE (much as I love it) on a sandbox list, everything about it is hybrid - from targetting on up (fps aiming with rpg damage rolls) to basic design (not-railed, themepark/sandbox, not ffa PvP, no death penalty worth worrying about etc. etc.).
Saying it's a sandbox will make many people think Darkfall or Mortal Online, and FE isn't like either of them. It's sandboxy for a themepark, but it's no sandbox.
I'm not dissing the game btw, I love its genetically spliced mutant version of MMO-dom, just don't want people expecting something from it it can't deliver, applying the sandbox label will do that.
FE isnt a sandbox, Im calling it a junkyard. Which is better, you can create a lot more out of junk then from sand and it relates to FE typical scavenging, where the next pile of junk can hold the treasure that you are seeking

But not Kingman junkyard with those ever-spawning dogs.....or one of the ones that is exclusively populated by hermit crabs:
"SKREEEEEEEE!" and there goes your horse, your mutt and anything else in the vicinity with a pulse.....

Of course its not True. Unless you define truth as whatever you guys come up with. Everyone has their own definition of words like MMORPG and sandbox. There is absolutely no concensus about those words.
It is ridiculous to state your opinion about the definition of these words as fact.
Some of you also cant grasp the idea that you can have a sandbox (whatever definition) with so called themepark elements.

fixed for ya.

The list does make me sad. I hope for the success of all of the games in my sig.

oh gawd side ache
Perpetuum is a sandbox.
If the current SWG is not a sand box then neither is FE.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
Fallen Earth should not be on the list.

This thread just got ultra necro'ed
2 years ago lol
"It has potential"
-Second most used phrase on existence
"It sucks"
-Most used phrase on existence
DOH!
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
You need to add Xsyon.
DoH!
I think Dawntide is an upcoming sandbox as well.
Love
Haven & Hearth
Minecraft
Fallen Earth should be removed from the list imo, it just isn't sandboxy enough.
Hype train -> Reality

Apart from that, junkyard sounds cool ; )
