For the limbs one, I know its not multiplayer and hardly graphic, but if you can stand the learning curve, try checking out Dwarf Fortress. You can break, injure, chop off, etc any limb of any creature in the adventure mode (I believe thats the right mode).
I was thinking of adding limb dismemberment into Plagued Dead (when I finally make it), though it was mostly going to be just for a more graphic death and the ability to use limbs sometimes to throw them at enemies or hit them with it. Its one of the reasons I designed my new engine and attempt at Plagued Dead to use a skeletal system - makes it very easy to accomplish graphically.
For it happening to someone/thing that is alive, I think it'd only work well if they are borderline dead and/or they are expected to be dead within a few seconds anyways. If it actually affects the outcome of the battle, I'm sure it will cause some complaints.
