Living worlds

In the past, I played in chat game RPGs, with perhaps a dozen or so GM's and maybe a hundred or more players.  Together a living, interconnected game world was built.  Has anyone done such a thing on roll20?  I see some games, like the PFS with one-shots, but they don't seem to be focused on telling an interconnected story built by the player's actions.  Has anyone out there run a multi-GM game on roll20 that are not 1-shots?  Any success?

There is someone trying to set up something in that manner. The Creator of it goes by the name Corey and the game is called  World of Juscor . I think the link will work for you but if it doesn't let me know so I can bring corey into this thread.
I am trying to put something like this together. I've played on yahoo chat and IRC and I'm trying to bring that experience here. It'd be great to have you!

Speak his name and he shall appear.  :)
I run my 3 Eberron campaigns like this (they all take place simultaneously; the fallout from major events from one campaign will be mentioned in the other campaigns). I'd be interested in getting together with some other Eberron GMs to bring in ever more to create something of an evolving Eberron campaign.
I knew my ears were itching for some reason!

@ Corey. See I'm trying to drum up people for your board.
I actually had an idea for a campaign that would play into this perfectly. I was going to attempt to host a game where the PCs were dragons, and between sessions they would do typical dragon things like plotting, enlarging their hoards, searching for a good lair, etc. If that was changed to be the entirety of their role, they'd fit right into a living world. You could also have a few groups of normal PCs running around, some good, some evil. Anyone else interested in setting up something like this? The setting would have to be pretty detailed, perfect for multiple DMs to work on, but I think it would be tons of fun if it was pulled off correctly.
@ Valdis, I haven't seen one on roll20 but in my RL games we DM out of one game world, there have been something like 20 different players and 3 DMs to help create it and fill it out. While it is a pretty typical Fantasy world because we have to use the rules of 3.5 and pathfinder its still hella fun because the legends and the great heroes, and villains were all made by players, a lot of which I haven't even met. That being said I think the key is to let the players have a lot of control in creating lore while they are creating their character.
