Darkfall would be perfect for your needs, mind you it won't be in beta until later this year!

He's looking for a game he can play. Not one that might come out in another year or might not come out. OP, how do you feel about space combat? Have you considerred EVE?

 

And no I am not trying to turn this into a Darkfall flamewar, lets stay on topic with games the OP can go play right now.

I agree. Darkfall is not a game anyone can play right now. EVE does actually fit the OPs specifications exactly though. I dont think there are any other games that do fit it actually, which is quite sad really considering mmos are supposed to be "massively multiplayer".

EVE is a good suggestion. I personally do not like it, but it has some good things and looks nice.  Your avatar is a ship too, so for some that is a big problem, although that aspect was fine for me.

sorry, but i tried eve like 5 times, and never liked it

Lineage 2 is as close as you can get in my opinion and that's worth spending money for. Game has "grind-like" crafting (it's sorta complex in that sense) , open PvP, it's semi "sandbox", and the economy is pretty much player ran. Its graphics is still quite beautiful even though its a few years old. New patch out also makes leveling easier. Granted, you won't enjoy the game if you don't join an academy or clan. Partying is the way to go. :t

If OP doesn't like EVE, L2 might be a good choice I agree, until DF comes out.

There's really nothing like what the OP describes out on the market today besides the games he's listed and EVE.
