A great article over at the Time Well Wasted site about 'spiffy' MMO features made me stop and think. What are the back-of-the-box bullet points that make MMOs great? The field of Massively Multiplayer games is so large now that there's no one feature we can point to that shows up in every single game. Which ones stand out? What features are there out there among the many, many MMOs that really speaks volumes about the potential of this game genre? Check out our gallery feature to explore the Top Ten MMO Features with screenshots, historical footnotes, and witty observations. And please - hit the comments to tell me how I'm wrong and what features I've left out.
