    Take a look at UO private shards. Basically pirate servers. @SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net has been playing on one, might be able to share some info. UO is as oldschool as it gets, but it’s a big open sandbox where you can just kind of screw around and do whatever you want without a lot of the on-rails gameplay of post-Everquest MMOs.

      +1 for UO. Best sandbox mmorpg ever made. I had a hard time adjusting to it because it’s so free form make your own fun. I’m used to linear dungeon crawling or questing, but UO you’re free to do what you want. There’s no classes, very few quests, and a totally player driven economy. If you’re put off by the graphics and want something newer, Star Wars Galaxies borrowed everything from UO but adapted it to SW instead.
