"An MMO can't create completely dynamic gameplay elements, because it has to factor in the hundreds or housands of other players who will be around...."
I personally believe that MMO's SHOULD try to recreate a single-player RPG experience which are the height immersion in gaming. The dynamic nature of those games are what people are looking to encounter when they team up with their friends in a MMORPG. So I agree with Haniel.
Why is GTA 5 online so HUGELY popular? because of that fact. Current technology is the limiting factor for a fully dynamic world with the NPC's at the heart of it because it takes a level upkeep and the A.I. integrated in most MMO's don't allow for that level. Storybricks was supposedly capable of that but Everquest Next got shutdown (Screw daybreak games!)
Peace.
