If you hated walking through the wasteland's empty space before, imagine how it'd be if they MMORPG'ed it up? The simplest things end up being 100x wider and longer just so lots of characters don't double up on eachother. Empty desert is empty enough.
I think there's a newer version out now (that sucked), but the old game "Syndicate" was pretty awesome back in the day. Walk around town with a persuade-a-tron and get a mob of 100 people following you around with guns. The gaus Gun, etc.
