Played WoW for 5 years, 3 level 80s in AOC and you played LOTRO but found you love Sandboxes? I dont see your love for Sandboxes in your post at all.
Why do you need to flame me?
Obviously I found out that I don't like themeparks, after I discovered sandbox!
And currently I decided not to play MMO, and play PS3 instead untill some good MMO (TSW,SW:TOR,FFXIV,Earthrise) maybe a mmo on / off but nonetheless mostly ps3 since thoing great is out atm

I am not flaming but your post are just so misleading. You said you loved Sandboxes but you made no mention of any Sandbox game that you played or are playing or why you even love them. With all that time spent on other types of MMOs it truly shows that you do indeed like these games whether you later found that you enjoy a Sandbox or not. This is what I dont understand about people on this board. Why do you have to pick a side? Are you saying that you will never play another non sandbox mmo? Of course you are.

¨Sorry for being missleading, sorry sorry sorry
But ye your right, ofc i will play a non.sandbox again! im just tired of the same old EQ clones (etc WoW, AOC,LOTRO so on) thats why i dont see any game out ther atm! No good sandboxs made in many years..
As i have seen a few others mention, try Ryzom. Its a pretty small community, but overall very great and helpful. Its got some pretty nice lore behind it, the AI is far superior to the AI in most mmorpgs, you are able to create some of your own content and play other player created content too, and the skill system is great, you basically take small parts of skills, called stanzas, and combine them all to create your own unique skills to fit every situation (trading off things like damage/range/aoe/duration for a cost such as HP or Stamina). That doesnt just refer to combat (melee/ranged/magic) skills either. but also allows you to customize your skills in gathering and crafting too.

Now that I can totally agree with. Looks like everybody is looking for something different.
Haven and Hearth is an amazing indie Sandbox MMO. It has simple graphics, I'd say somewhat "gameboy pokemon-esque" but it's definitely not a kids game or geared towards kids. It's got a bit of a steep learning curve but once you get past it and start playing the game you'll have a lot of fun. It's skill based and you gain skill points by doing activities, once you get enough points you can unlock more skills which in turn give you more activities and make you more useful in society. There's full day and night system and in depth agriculture, a hunger system (you can possibly starve to death) and it's still in Alpha so it's always being updated with new content and fixes. It really is a an extremely interesting Sandbox and just a fun game in general. Plus it's 100% freeee! HAVEN AND HEARTH
I would just like to add that Darkfall is NOT a sandbox, in casethe OP is thinking of playing it.

Give it a rest.
I am a subscriber and enjoy playing...I play it knowing full well it is not a sandbox, I just dont want someone to get the wrong idea of what they are subcribing to.

It's definitely a sandboxy game; as opposed to a theme-parkish game of instant gratification and entitlements.
In response to the OP.. YES!! I would love it if more sandbox games were available and looking at the near future of upcoming MMOGs.. I'm hoping some if not all of the upcoming sandbox titles can succeed.

I was under the impression that SW:ToR was not going to be very sandboxy, thought it was going to be a more story based themepark mmo.
Indeed. I will play it just for the story, and see how it plays out.. But i dont have big faith in it really (: I more count on Earthrise.

Good choice. The sandboxy nature of the game is addicting.
