If FFXIV is a theme park MMO, what other types of MMOs are there?

Think about what an actual sandbox is.

The true criteria to be a Sandbox in the real world. It is a box. It is full of sand.

I feel that if there were four boxes full of sand, you'd have four sandboxes, not four things that could be sandboxes but aren't because there are four of them. If someone set out rules for how to play in the sandbox, it would be a sandbox with rules.
