EVE pulls it off frequently

For example, the massive Titan-class ship that orbited some planet and went to war with another, so players massed up on either side of the war (and even rogue pirates in between) to either kill the Titan before it wrecked a planet or protect it. Whatever the outcome, the storyline, the economy and the overall development of player relations would change forever. The Titan was shot down, after hundreds of player ships perished and millions of lives were lost on the planet. Now there's a monument to the 'lost souls' and the Caldari (NPC faction, ships focus on missiles and shield) are almost entirely subjugated by the Gallente (NPC faction, ships focus on kinectic-damage turrets, drones and armor).

Thing is, people DO get left behind, but it all just adds up to the universe. It's like you're just a kid, taking up the guns on a great legacy that wasn't pre-assembled by the developers.

It feels oddly great.
