My other thing would be mix up the agro a bit – some mobs take heal agro and give it a 20 times multiplyier others the same with nukers, maybe orcs can't stand backstabbers etc – might just make combat more interesting.

I havent played pen-n-paper in the last 20 years, but dammit this thing should really be a must in a modern MMORPG. I remember how GM's set up events in EQ1, and eventhough it wasnt happening all the time, it was still happening.

I know it could be expensive to have GM's sitting doing realtime events on every single server of an MMO, but I BET there are players out there who would volunteer in teams to do this stuff once in a while.

The developers could pay these people in gametime or other game-related aspects, and make an in-game event tool.

I prefer PvE in my MMO's but a little interaction between the players and some people with divine powers behind the scene, could be a great addition. Especially to make players try to work together on solving a quest or finding the key to beating a nasty mob, that hasnt alerady been described on different websites out there.

What i'd like to see is a completely realtime combat system, i'm thinking like zelda on the n64/gamecube/wii, but retains the depth of character development of current MMOs.
