For all the hardcore gamers out there. I would like to know what you think is the best from each game you played?
I know that I love the way that WOW mail system allows transfer of items and money to alts & others.
I love the roaving ant spawns in Ultima Online. And the skill system that allows you to become whatever you wish.
I love the jedi class in starwars, and the raw materials generation and collection system.
I love the amount of different classes in anarchy online. The amount of different "skills" and playstyles to master.
Tell me what you like, and why! What would you like to see all mushed into a single Awesome MMORPG?
PS, I believe that any communication that can be understood at all from me is a win. Please don't pick at grammar/spelling.
Thanks!

In EQ2 I love the huge quantity of classes and races.
In WoW I love that I can log in for 20 minutes and have some fun.
In EVE I love the sandbox design.
In AoC I love the combat system.
Thanks for the links!
i love the flamboyant skill animations of Cabal, they are so attractive, don't you think they are the Way Forward?
Seems like animations and graphics are increasingly important. Would it be possible to get a video of one of the animations? I would like to see what sets it apart from other games.

I like the loot system from Diablo 2.
I like the weekly updates in AQworlds.
I like the pet dragon system in Lineage 2.
I like the Eudemons in Eudemons Online.
I enjoy the fishing in Final Fantasy XI.
I like the support job system in Final Fantasy XI.
I like games with many classes.
I enjoyed the combat in Mythos.
I like the character customization in City of Heroes/Villains.
I've browsed a bunch of the Cabal videos on xfire. I guess I was looking for something like a crafting animation and I didn't see any videos of those Were you talking about the combat actions when you said skill animations? They are very impressive!
what u gonna do with the ideas? make a mmorpg?
I'm just gonna list everything from ultima online since this was the perfect game imo.
sandbox, skill system instead of classes
graphics (i like seeing my character from above perspective
FFA PvP, player looting
I think the best thing= magery. Magic in UO (pre-aos) was awesome.
I loved mage vrs mage duels so much.
A deep character creation option, such as the one in City of Heroes, is very important as far as I'm concerned. CoH was the first MMO I ever picked up, and since then, every other MMORPG has seemed to slack off immensely in the initial character customization, as well as in the viable options in attire given to a player at any given point through the game. Particularly when players could be easily pigeonholed based upon the level of the gear that they're wearing. I love the idea of a player having a distinct appearance all their own, while still giving the players the option to use bigger and better gear that they can just toggle off the appearance of on their character.
I believe they're doing something like this in Champions Online, and it's among of the reasons I'm quite excited about that game.
