Not really a "simulator" since it's driven by real humans interacting. I'd say it's just a virtual world with its own real economy.
An interesting thing you can do with a simulator is pause, rewind, make arbitrary experiments, run counterfactuals, etc -- all of which are prohibited in Eve since it needs to respect the users who are there to have fun, not be test subjects.
