Your posts are becoming more and more pathetic with less and less arguments.
Your only argument left is invalid : MO isn't even a real sandbox MMO.
Sandbox MMO's definition is just a themepark MMO with more freedom and less restrictions : more tools for economy, social life and achieving goals.
you could say a themepark has a lot made of concrete which you can't move or change, while Sandbox offers Sand and tools to shape certain aspects of the game such as cities, economy, factions etc.
MO is a sandbox MMO but with very few tools and no sand at all.
To answer your question simply : Darkfall Online offers everything MO offers with an inferior graphic engine, but better artistic work, a world 10 times bigger, more tools for crafting, more professions, more skills, more weapon types, more magic schools, more races of creatures, more dungeons, more interactive pickables, more environements, more special moves etc etc...
the only thing with DarkFall was the grind and the ruthlessness of the game which drove me away, it really was Darfur over there and wasn't casual player friendly. but apart from that, I challenge you to find one thing really that MO has that Darkfall doesnt' except for penis/rectum/vagina on character models and the useless horsebreeding and eating thing.
I was gonna write long and indepth arguments to most of your posts, when I realized that your only arguments are "Do it better yourself" and "There are no other alternatives". This might come as a shock to you, but lack of alternatives (which is not the case for MO) does not make a product good by default.
Not to mention that most of your posts are constructed in a rather.. provocative manner, since I believe that even the most hardcore MO fans would not make some of the statements you made. EvE not a sandbox? Hah..

So.. we are waiting, where is the screenshot? An evening seems like a prime time to me.
when it comes to the best sandbox mmos, i have to go with eve and uo. They are superiot to mo at least interms of features. I was a long time player of both uo and eve. However my problems with eve start with its game mechanics, quite often i would be half sleep or even fall asleep palying eve due to the incredibly slow pace of the game. For me the grind became to much in that game it became very monotonus and grindy, i was one of the first palyers in eve tofly a battleship and i have subbed and resubbed aronud 3 times from release of eve. UO on the other hand i consider the greatest mmo, but playing it for a lnog time and seeing it destroyed by its expansions i wanted soemthing different. Mo is different it has many firsts when it comes to mmos and i enjoy playing it casually without fear of grind or ending up left behind by guild mates.
there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters.
Two sides to that coin, tbh. On one hand, it is sure nice to not be required to grind a lot in order to be combat ready. On other hand, most people play MMO for the sake of character development and feeling of achivement, progression. And what is there to do in any of the later three in MO? Maxing stats out and getting top armor takes couple of weeks, and then the progression stops and endless PvP begins.
I guess it is a matter of taste, but that is what makes MO more of pure MMO-FPS-PVP game to me, rather then a real sandbox rpg. It lacks long term goals and "carrot on a stick", kinda. But hey, it might be just what some players are looking for, a quick PvP game with no long terms goals to care about.
there are still long term goals but they are generally community and guild orientated, certainly thoguh the majority involve pvp.

no one will point you to a "better" mmo because "better" is a debateable term. a game i may find better, someone else will find horrible. just like many find MO enjoyable and others do not. no one has said MO isnt a enjoyable game, only that bugs prevent them from truly enjoying it. i personally wont touch it until i know its more stable in terms of content and bug fixes given the many bugs i have read about that effect it.
if you enjoy MO so much great. more power to you.. demanding people point you to a better one again is pointless. their tastes are not your own. people have said UO and DFo both are similer in style to MO both would be considered quality alternitives to MO... are they better... who knows.. who really cares as long as the person playing it enjoys its, its all that really matters is it not?
This thread has just dissolved into insults and personal attacks.
Moreplex, you were also asked to limit these "vet is leaving" posts to one thread. Locking this.
