Sadly, it seems many people enjoy playing their own thing without others, so such an idea can't work in a big community like this one.
It's not quite the same, but I do know one thing that can help keep people "updated" on interesting happenings with plots. The Ravenholdt RP Sanctum, which I'm still very much a part of and continue to moderate even though I don't play WoW anymore, has a wonderful thread called the Ravenholdt Bulletin Board. It's meant as a place for people to post little snippets of RP - sometimes summarizing an event their character just experienced, or a glimpse into the aftermath of something, or just a little peek into the every day life of a character and their thoughts, or anything else that can be contained within a single post. It's something I read religiously to keep up with what was an extremely diverse RP community, and if I saw something interesting, I was then able to poke the players to learn more.
I think I'll write up a little something and get the ball rolling on a Balmung Bulletin Board.
