Hey DampeS8N,
have you ever played a MUD (online text based MMO)? If not, some of them can offer much more of what you're looking for (you provide the visuals though, via your imagination :). I'd strongly recommend checking out Gemstone 4 (or DragonRealms) over at www.play.net
They aren't free, but they do have a free 30 day trial. Most of the free MUDs are...well, let's just say they're free for a reason. ;) The above mentioned games though are quite awesome.
Oh yeah, I'm working on a MUD of my own, too, that seeks to address a lot of the issues you were mentioning. I'm going to be looking for people interested in world building, history/backlore creation, etc, etc down the road. Maybe I can mark you down as interested? (I know you were offering to help on an RPG, so I thought I'd ask.)
