Part and parcel of the evolution of the MMO genre has been a drive to make things more convenient and efficient, for better and worse. But unlike MMOs, some of these features would be pure upgrades for real life. Here are a couple of MMO features I’d love to have IRL.

    Larders so I never lose stuff I have aged.
    Titles which make me sound very important.
    Xmas pressies which when opened may contain an actual gift, nothing at all or part of a gift that needs many others to make a an actual item.
    The ability for anyone in my local region to speak and be heard by everyone else. The ability of those over the age of 20 to speak and be heard by anyone in the world.
    Being able to fit so many people into a room, you do not know when one person ends and another begins. Cosy.
    Being able to take every herb from peoples gardens, chop down every tree in the park and put an arrow in any critter that passes my way. Sparrow are you looking at me? 
    Riding my war sabre toothed tiger to work.

    The economy, because while the 1% of the 1% will still exist, everyone else is upper middle class, or can get there with a little knowledge and time and hard work, which, is supposed to be dream of capitalism, but it is a lie.

    Of course, if I had a rez or heal ability, there would be throngs of sick people and people with sick or dying relatives stalking me wherever I go. Which would suck.

    GW2 waypoints, Return to any place you've visited for $0.20-0.40
    Healing and Resurrection.
    Custom character creation instead of RNG. I definitely wouldn't have made Constitution as my dump stat.
    Bags that can hold a certain number of items regardless of size and weight without encumbering the carrier.
    Pocket vehicles/mounts.
    A journal that records everything that I know for future reference.
    Save/Load
    Trainers who instantly teach you a lifetime worth of knowledge for a few bucks.

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    Crafting as seen in fantasy mmorpgs. A lot of good paying jobs without depending on heavy machinery, technology or drowning in school debt.

    Nature based alchemy would be a dream come true. Keep modern technology labs for diagnosis and surgery.
