The idea for an active RPG environment, though not necessarily a constantly changing environment, but one that brings parts from the RPG game style into Minecraft. Adding RPG elements to minecraft will increase both the gameplay and creative ability of creators.
NPC/AI:
The NPCs of an RPG would all have basic self desires and wants to fulfill, such as eating, working and playing. They would use these basic wants, coupled with a want to 'progress', to expand from a singular point into a complex system of connections and relationships.
Environment:
The terrain of Minecraft would stay nearly the same, take some additions. Common artifacts such as roads and towns would have to be added, as well as Castles and Forts. The landscape would be similar but would merge roads connecting towns, and even major roads and Highways connecting forts and cities. Castles would appear throughout the terrain, and would each have a king or lord presiding. Towns and cities would have a presiding mayor or leader.
Structures:
The cities and towns found throughout the terrain would be made of separate buildings, each fulfilling a role. There would be things such as markets, smiths and homes, potioneers, doctors, cooks, all types of NPCs filling the town. Miners and builders being a major part of most towns and villages, fishermen the main part of coastal towns. The system would not have useless people wandering around, with the exception of unemployed, but would have a 'busy' community. Castles would be a single or dual structure, made from either the castle itself, or a wall and castle. There would be courtyards and courting rooms, a county hall, private rooms and such. the player would be able to found any town, village or castle by convincing people to join him, starting a small trading place or anything of the sort. There would be quests created by NPCs, not cheap DO x TO GET y quests, but quests related to the characters desires, such as 'Can you take my shift at the market' or 'I need some eggs to finish this cake' kinds of quests. New animals would be introduced and new hostile creatures as well.
Interaction:
The system would not be designed around the character controlling the game environment, or being immediately in control. It would rather have the player try to work towards these, not changing the game, but adding greatly to it. the player wont have skills, and it would rather be a personal skill based system. An idea is from the oblivion system. It was worked very well. The characters would have common routines, and the player was simply a by passer for the most part. With castles and villages spread out all over, the player would have endless world to explore, countless quests to fulfill, and many many things to do and achieve. This would take Minecraft from a sand box to a full pledged game.
Wrap Up:
With these additions of new NPCs, added game elements, and more towns and cities, castles and villages, the player would no longer feel aimless, and would constantly have things to do. The player could have control of towns or castles, if they worked for it, and could do huge scale things such as wars and economics if they aimed to do that. All added through simply adding an RPG system.
These are not specific, but are a broad outline to the features needed. Most people want a different experience, so adding one individual aspect will not do much to the general community. To have people happy, you need to add the core elements, and allow people to develop the world around how they play, not by what is added.

Added a disclaimer (lol) to the thread. It outlines why one specific element will not suit.
