Darkfall is an amazing sandbox MMO. Played for the first few months of release, and except for very limited Neutral towns, everything is player controlled/owned. its MUCH like shadowbane, and everything in the economy is player created, or dropped from hard bosses. PvP is crisp and fights well, with the exception of bind rushing when your city is under siege due to the inclusion of soul bound newb weapons. The game is Full-loot PvP where guilds and alliances rule stretches of territory like countries and "red" PKers are extremely rare as most guilds don't have place for them and they are KoS to most guilds.
Really a great game and from what i've heard, well made at this point today, although it was very unpolished at release, among other things.
Edit: oh, I haven't seen/heard much about it, but that new rift MMO seems sandboxy, as rifts can open anywhere and take over cities, but from a few people who got into the beta, they said its somewhat wow like. *shrug*
