    And I'm not familiar with any true modern sandbox MMORPGs out there. Even ESO looks like it's going to end up being pretty theme-parky from what I've experienced in the betas.

    EQNext will certainly be more open and encouraging of a sandbox style game but that's not due for at least another year. Additionally there is Brad McQuaid's Pantheon that is on Kickstarter now but that won't be likely to even hit alpha until 2015 either.
    EVE is the only true sandbox game so far.

    Admittedly it's not out yet, but Pathfinder Online is set to be a sandbox game as well

    I always see it discussed as a hybrid sandbox/ theme park.
