| We bawlin boi! | CoH had the sidekick system in place before anyone iirc, then later the exemplar system. It really is a great feature. Also, yea the jobs system was amazing.

| SWG : Offline resource harvesting. Fuck having to do that shit while I play. Actually SWG had that set up very well in that if you did it actively you got more and better resources. However, you could just leave harvesters ticking overnight for a decent return. |

+54 Internets | I have to repeat it: The UO Houses were just fantastic and actually meant something. Being in a good location made it easier to sell your stuff on your vendor. This is what I miss most about the game... Asheron's Call's guild system - specifically, vassals. You get invited into the guild by someone and through that become his vassal. As you gain exp, he will gain a small share of what you make (though you don't lose any). As you progress through the game and get to a higher level, you'll start inviting people of your own. Others will become your vassal, providing you (and those above you) with exp. It's a great incentive for people to assist newbies and get them involved in the game. I can't believe this has never been copied ![]() |

| City building with the opportunity to have transportation to/from the cities, bonuses to certain skills, and mayoral elections. (SWG) The ability to own something other than houses or a guild hall, like a cantina, medical facility, etc. and the ability to boot people from your establishment after entering if you so chose. (SWG) Viable non-combat, social professions/skills that didn't have a combat skill/level requirement (medic/dancer). (SWG) The ability to play a non-humanoid race like dragons (Horizons). The ability to multi-class/hybrid-class/trim classes back in a level-based environment, balancing multi-class benefits with slower leveling (Horizons).

+24 Internets | Yeah, having to zig zag across 90% of the "wilderness" is pretty lame.

| The Littlest Hobo of MMOs | Vanilla EQ: The "sword on the ground" or "follow the clouds" trick for directions. The fact that maps in early EQ were so woefully useless and direction sense was a skill that could lead you in completely the wrong direction if it wasn't levelled actually forced the players into learning every nook and cranny of a zone. In doing so you couldn't help but feel a sense of immersion in the world. Sadly, that would never wash now in the era of piss-easy transport but I still remember running around Greater Faydark spamming the fuck out of direction sense and /loc. |
