Your offline RPG will be the same no matter how many times you touch it, your online RPG will be different even when you're NOT touching.
I've been playing MMOs for over Fifteen years. I have dabbled in at least 50 and actively played ten. There is one thing I can promise you MMOs have never done. They have never had a dynamically changing world. With the possible exception of some obscure MMO i have never heard of, FFXIV is the first MMO to have ever done anything like what we are seeing now.

There have been MMOs that used expansion packs to eliminate previously released parts of their game, but it was far from a dynamic experience. There has never been an MMO that had limited access story lines that lead to a dramatic overhaul of the game world.

As to your claim that no MMO has never created so much Content you cannot complete it all, three of the most name recognizable MMOs in history did just that. Everquest, World of Warcraft and Final Fanatsy XI, to date, have so much content 99% of people have literally 0 chance of completing it all. That is a simple Fact.
