They just retcon and come up with nonsensical stuff because reasons. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. They know their playerbase.

Also, your idea about interactive storytelling in an MMO sounds dubious to me, precisely because of what you pointed out: some player in a pig costume jumping up and down screaming, "GO GO GO", with a name like Fleshsaberforyou. Again, nothing wrong with that. That's people. And that's exactly why I love the solo story where others can't muck it up for me.
