Which with present technology is the same for all games in exsitance. All games provide you with the framework so to speak - and it is up to the player to do with it what he wants with it(mostly to complete the main story line of the game).
The difference with multiplayer games, and especially with MMOGs. is that you can interact and compeete or coorperate with real life people instead of some scripted NPCs sometimes explained as AI.
I still remember some of the grand battles we had when I played DAoC, where 300-500 real life people did battle with and against each others (realm vs. realm combat). That is one of the charmes of MMOGs, that I've yet to be seen recreated in any single player games (or most multiplayer games).
