It seems as if many MMORPG makers see there worlds as virtual playgrounds. You can play , but so help you god if you try to change it... I for one find a playground is most fun when you're not using it in the way it was intended.
I'm reminded of a MUD I used to play. MUD was different from MMORPGs for many reasons, but unlike most MMORPGs they have almost unlimited customizability. Given that, you would expect the players some ability to change the world and have an impact. Instead me and my friends were killed by a GM event when we tried to claim a town for our own. Go figure.
