So far, I'd say that I'm going for item quality and command of language over format. Formatting mistakes, as everyone keeps pointing out, are an easy thing to fix. It is much harder to teach someone good design or writing practice.

As far as fluff is concerned, if it helps me visualize or conceptualize the item better, I like it. If not I don't. I also don't like it if there is too much of it, but I haven't been coming across a lot of that.

A lot of things are definitely XIAC (X in a can), and that is less appealing, but when choosing between them I look at how they are accomplishing their effects, and also at the flavor of the item to decide.

It seems to me that you just want to call it what it is. It is a sandbox.
Saying something like "Sandbox release" gives the impression that it will only be that way for a short time though

Instead, you want to say something that describes what the game will be for the long term. It is a sandbox game where you (the developers) work closely with the community over the course of the games life.

Call it a community sandbox.

Or, be clever and relate the phrase to phrases people already understand.
The first five thousand people will be allowed to play in a way that is similar to a closed beta release. However you don't want to seem like you're saying it will only be for the one phase, you want to tell people that it will eventually be open to everyone and still be the same type of game. So contrast the phrase "closed beta."

Call it an open sandbox.

If you want something that also includes the idea that you will be more interactive with the community than people expect use a word that denotes that.

Call it a collective sandbox, call it a conjoint sandbox.

Lastly you want something that denotes the mutual reciprocal aspect of the game between the developers and the community that you are trying to create.

I would say the phrase that both connotes and denotes all of these things would be the phrase "interdependent sandbox."

I give everyone all of my thoughts though, because I was just engaging in wordplay, and perhaps one of the thoughts that I had on the way to that conclusion will spark something more worthwhile.
