I think you are an American *idealist*. If people are worried about food and shelter, they are not going to worry too much about free speech. This must be hard to imagine when you were born in prosperity.

Shadowbane allowed players to create their own city, build shops, hire guards and etc.
It never really became a big hit, and slowly died out.

The reason I see behind that is in such games there is no place for casual players who make up majority of the population. In a competing game world, if you slack, you will be ruled out.
