Innovation is the key to the long-term success of any genre. Innovation keeps things interesting and fun, giving us new and interesting features. How a game builds upon and changes the ideas put forward in the games that came before it can mean the difference between a long-term hit and "just another copy".
In this category, we want you to vote, not necessarily for your favorite game, but for the feature that you felt added the most to the MMORPG genre in terms of both gameplay and fun as well as the potential for adaptations by others that could lead to more innovation down the line. |
