Isn't this what the upcoming MMORPG, Dark Zion is trying to accomplish?

Here is a snippet from the official press release available at
www.darkzion.com:

"Dark Zion is a player driven world: players will explore, build cities,
create clans and governments, wage wars, breed insects, and discover the
lost secrets of the world of Dark Zion as they create a story of their =
new
civilization."

I may be wrong, so if I am feel free to correct me. But from what I've =
read
thus far it seems that the MMORPG will be highly PC oriented. Player ran
economy, government, etc. and no NPCs whatsoever.
