Most are failures since they lack proper guidance on where you should be right now in order to have the most challenging and rewarding experience. You usually end up fighting something way to easy or something impossible with no way to know where you find a good area. At least that is my impression of that kind of game.

Would be interresting to know what those "sandbox" games you refer to are called.
As for guidance..there shouldnt be someone to hold youre hand. Sandbox should be nonlinear.
Sosseres:
Well that depends on the definition of sandbox. A game such as runescape or really any mmo can be counted as sandbox since you can grind and never have to quest in them, if you play them as sandbox they aren't a lot of fun.
The universal or EVE is probably more in line with what you think, which wasn't all that fun either.
Even though EVE has a lot of quests and so on the earlier versions pretty much just left you there to start out mining or whatever you wanted to do. Which meant that with minor rewards (apart from money) to continue doing the same things it quickly lost interest.
Garry's Mod is another game that soon lost its interest as an online game. I have hard time thinking up other sandbox online game. Single player ones like oblivion or gta aren't all that much fun either.

About the only game ive played that comes close to being a sandbox is Fallout 3.
Eve is definitly not a sandbox. Theres some features like ship customization, skill selection and construction of buildings. All of them is pretty limited both in content and possiblities. And skills take real time.
Ive never played runescape so i cant say much about it.
I think the reason why theres no real sandbox mmorpgs is that it would require ALOT of work to make, and a verry well-planned long term prediction of how the game would develop.
Not something money-hungry creditors grin about when they plan theyre next venture.
