so i wanted to play new mmo game so after searching i found 2 good sandbox game i found these 2 that interest me so what i want is
. more pvp element than pve
.player run world where towns villages are controlled by players
. no quest grinding like wow eso etc
.the the majority of game community to be filled with mature 18+ players
.where there are interesting sieges/raids on enemy town village (must be boring)
.the game that got good team work

The thing about Mortal is, it launched in a really buggy state, which caused most of the population who wanted to try it to leave. The company handled a lot of situations rather unprofessionally, and it made the game look bad.
Now the game itself isn't bad at all anymore, the AI is fixed, the game is getting more polished over time, and it has a lot of really cool systems in place. There is still a relatively dedicated community playing it (it isn't the biggest but it's there) and it's a fun game in my opinion. Plus most of the game is focused around PvP which is what it seems you want to do. It's full loot and open PvP and has guild ownership of towns / areas.
Also between the two Valnir Rok is server based, with up to 100 players on a server from what I remember, while Mortal is one persistent server with all the players on one world.
Valnir Rok isn't even close to being done yet, it's in a state that reminds me of Mortal when it first launched. It's early access, and doesn't have very many players so it's in a similar boat as Mortal but doesn't have the development time / dedication yet of those players, so it could lose them at any point.
I would say go try Mortal since it's free, and if it isn't your cup of tea, read about how Valnir is doing on the steam community and base a judgement off of that at the time.

With survival games it's really hit or miss, and it seems about half of them get HUGE and the other half just lose all players after a few months and stop development.
The f2p its just a trial to let you try the game. If you want to be competitive in pvp you have to sub. The large majority of players are vets, so don't beat yourself up if you can't beat most people.
This game is 10 times easier with friends or in a guild as individual characters are very restricted on what they can do. Its a game of alts.Get in a guild ASAP.
Get out of Tindrem right away. Its a cesspool of Greefers and scammers.
Greefing is a way of life for vets in this game. If you can't handle being greefed, don't play this game.
This game has a client side hit detection, with a prediction system. If you have high ping it will be very difficult to PvP.
Good luck.
EVE Online - Number one of currently released games. Biggest community/economy, best support, but a fairly stale combat system.
Wurm Online - Fairly stale combat as well but more in depth crafting with a huge focus on sandbox elements. Graphics are super sub par. The PvP servers are a bit dead these days, but if you get into PvP on Wurm it's mainly an economic PvP. You will spend a lot of time building defenses and sieges of enemy towns generally take hours to get at the valuables.
Darkfall Rise of Agon - While I haven't played the current version, the original Darkfall had a lot more interesting combat than MO IMO. It's hard to play though. If you get into this title expect to work a lot at getting better. Including buying a better gaming mouse if you aren't running something similar to the razer naga and learning how to use macros.
Also in terms of upcoming titles, Star Citizen, Crowfall, Life is Feudal and Chronicles of Elyria all may offer what you want.
Now Valnir Rok is a survival game as far as I'm aware. Most survival games offer what you want. I won't go into listing them all. If you think Life is Feudal looks interesting it's alpha is a survival game so that may be worthwhile for you to investigate.
Why I left was that I am busy and that if I don't play a game for a week or two I lose the addiction. It is a great game, but the main reason I left was the population is a bit low.
If the population was better, the game would be amazing. It is very in depth and it is an excellent soap box. The graphics are a bit outdated but it is fun nonetheless.
I'd give it a try but expect to be killed and griefed for no reason other than you can. But if you don't mind, it is okay.
I played darkfall age of agon for about 24 hours of real life time and realized that I need somewhat decent graphics to play a game. The game is nothing new and I am not that big into free for all PvP where you lose things.
But i'd try MO. It is free. Darkfall age of agon is pay only.

@Eldurian thanks for your suggestion so even thought i didnt play this time i know about it but basically i dont prefer eve because its space game and wurm online is more pve than pvp so most pvp servers are dead and combat is not good . well darkfall dont have much sandbox element and graphics not that good
@Cryomatrix thanks for your reply well so hows the mortal online it still got low population? or it changed and hows the siege in mortal online ? its fun ?
