What are the sandbox options these days?

Really not getting into the themeparks. Been having some fun on FFXIV but it feels very limited. 

Is there really a viable sandbox besides EVE? 

Thanks!

    Darkfall Unholy Wars is sandboxish, but far, far, FAR from a true sandbox.  Mortal Online is a similar game.  Ultima Online and Wurm online are a couple of older choices.  Best sandbox I've found is a multiplayer Minecraft server.

    I always here about minecraft these days. Even my friend went on and on about it back in the day, before it was even big. Maybe I should finally give it a go.

    Eve would be the #1 sandbox.  DF and Mortal Online are both severely flawed attempts at fantasy versions.

    Wurm Online, as a real sandbox game, with both options of pvp or pve servers.

    My name in game is Maurizio, im on the chaos server, feel free to contact me if you happen to check out the game and want to be shown the ropes.

    Thanks for the laugh.  Mine is a little sandboxy.

    A Tale in the Desert is a sandbox, to the truest extent of the word. It has a very interesting economic system (barter), and the crafting is some of the most in-depth from any MMO I've ever seen or played.

     

    Unfortunately, those are the only good things about it. The resource collection is an experiment in carpal-tunnel syndrome, there is no combat (PvP nor PvE), and there are maybe 400 players subbed to the entire land of Egypt and Sinai. It's a decent game, but not one of my faves by a long shot.

     

    I play Eve Online, and I love the game. The depth of it is intense, and the economic system is so good that college final papers have been written about it. I may leave it temporarily for one reason or another, but I always come back shortly thereafter to feed my addiction.
