Problem with sandbox games is and probably always will be the lack of proper progression. Its the reason thousands of people still play everquest.
You can add castles and cool crafting till ur eyes bleed but if there isn't some form of progression that makes you really powerful and competition with other players to achieve it, your game will fizzle out the way every sandbox game did. I'd take another EQ like MMO without the sandbox any day though I'd much prefer and EQ/sandbox hybrid. EQ feels more sandbox than sandbox games.
