Funny part is, an MMO has already died because of this premise. EverQuest NEXT was going to use a foundational system called Storybricks that would generate a living story for the world, in real time, using AI for the npcs, quests, zone events. That worked so well that the MMO half of EQN got cancelled and turned into a weird, plot based, EQ styled version of Minecraft that never got to full release.
