http://www.naos-engine.com/ uses Erlang to manage NPCs and if the Actor Model concept is used in gaming, it is normally to manage at least the NPCs.  With typical Erlang usage you will have an Erlang process per PC socket connection.  So, treating each NPC and PC as an Erlang process should be a natural approach.
