Imagine a player in-game walking into a building, walking up to a
computer station, sitting down at the station and having the view go
from a FPS style to an RTS style god view of the area just outside the
building. You choose construction options from the controls and begin
construction of a new weapons plant. You then exit the console back to
FPS view, walk outside, and see the building being constructed before
your very eyes.
Sound a fair bit like guilds and city building in Shadowbane. Have you
looked at how that game deals with large player organizations and RTS?
Also, it gets the "Massive" in it's MMORPG from occasional city sieges
involving hundreds of players (the lucky ones whose clients don't crash).
