I remember Project M on Tallon Zek, looking back through patch notes, it was only implemented on PvP servers.
Quote:
NOVEMBER 7, 2001
Project M Implemented:
Tonight we have patched something to the PvP servers that many players have been waiting for. The ability to play that gnoll, orc, or the cute and fuzzy rat. On your character select screen you will notice another button in the upper right part of your screen called "Monster". Clicking this button will randomly place you in a low-level NPC in a random zone. You will be given full control of the creature to do with it what you like. You may hunt and kill other creatures. You may even attack other players.
...
This ability to play a monster is being implemented for PvP servers only as we have no plans to implement non-consensual PvP on a non PvP server.

Was a fun novelty at first, but had its drawbacks.
-In populated newbie zones, MPCs found each other, ganged up, and griefed new players
-You could spawn in any zone that had npc trash under level 10(not sure on exact cutoff), I once spent the better part of an hour as a Kerran in Kerra Isle hoping someone would zone in.
-Getting slaughtered by players as just another exp mob got fairly boring after awhile.
