Most popular MMOs do have healthy economies and virtual cultures. You do need to participate though. If party play is enforced then party members certainly do affect game mechanics.
Maybe you want a pvp focused MMO? Maybe something like PlanetSide with more of an economy? Either that or maybe you want some big story points influenced by players?
Honestly I think you'd probably be disappointed unless you are personally part of the group that made the influential change. That takes a lot of investment as the mechanic would either be pvp or feel like its on rails.
Maybe you just want an RP wow server and a guild that is into grinding for Glam/RP loot according to their own stories?
I don't see how it's a technical problem at all. It sounds like your major issues are with story telling. Can you explain what technology you think is missing?
