When I think of a fun sandbox, I think UO. But UO can never happen again, not in todays over-saturated kickstarter funded market. The beauty of UO is you had the innocent victims, the traders trying to sell their wares, the roleplayers, the harvesters...and they had no choice but to PVP. This opened up the possibility of playing as a true villain, and for people to play the hero.

People say gamers keep coming back to EQ for nostalgia, but I don't believe that to be the reason at all. It offers something that no other games have.
UO, however, i believe is really a case of nostalgia over content. It was really fun for its time but when I went back and tried to play it again on the last IPY, it was super boring. The community is what made it great. EQ had community but also the content that made it super addictive. No other game offered the exclusivity of EQ progression.
