I wouldn't say impossible. It could be done. And MMO's are moving in that direction. World of Warcraft is far more focused on quests than any previous MMO.
Take WoW's quest system and team it up with monthly story updates. Each year could be like a season on TV. A main story arc and a bunch of smaller stand alone stories thrown in to keep things interesting. So each month you would get a series of new quests that furthered the story for that year.
