Update: FYI, Sandbox sometimes is not something objective. I mean ArcheAge or Pathfinder online, and definitely The Secret World are games that some people (including me) don't really characterize them as sandboxes.
Ryzom, Haven and Hearth, Xsyon, The Repopulation, UO private shards, Mortal Online, Darkfall 1 remakes (New Dawn or Rise of Agon), RPG MO, Project Gorgon, EQ: Sanctuary (custom server)
I don't think The Secret World is really a sandbox game. It has some sandbox features, but the world itself is very much a theme park. At best it's a hybrid game.
** edit **
Salem - seems to be very much a sandbox game.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
The Repopulation
Miner Wars
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
