What do you look for in a good mmorpg

[Majen]

im making a mmo and i need ideas on what i need to add to it

[Nia]

Make it so every class or whatever equivelant has a role. Everyone in a party needs to be active.

Lots of customization. People love customization.

If you make it grind-happy, make it fun to grind. No battle should ever feel like it's there just to farm.

[Tomlanji]

Gameplay. A MUST priority. Pour your heart and soul into this. Without good gameplay your game won't be good (depending on what it is about)

Spoiler for My Opinion for a good MMO:

Well for your MMO to be good you might want certain things to grasp the attention of others.
1. Character creation
 
This is an obvious one, and for it you need a unique character custom. One that can make your character differ from others. A lot of character customization in it would have people feel more free.

2. (MOST IMPORTANT) The gameplay.

This is obviously the most important. If you have a game with great graphics, what is the good in it with crappy gameplay? You will probably need a new and fresh gameplay. Making the gameplay good is a HUGE priority. You need the gameplay to be fun and attracting. Not boring af.

3. Graphics

You need at least decent graphics. The graphics don't have to be the best, but enough to please the graphic fanboys (the ones that play games only for graphics). Graphics will also attract attention.

[Iceman]

MMO need to have epic story for quest.
It need to have balanced class.
If you look for combat the best one is AOW if you ever try it.
Character customization need to be good too.

[Nia]

Variety.
If you go with a class system, give them more than one weapon type, so that everyone of a same class doesn't just keep using one type of weapon (i.e., so not every mage or whatever equivelant  aren't all using the same weapon).

Also, missions should be more than "Go here, kill this." Maybe at some point, the players need to split into multiple teams. One team opens up a floodgate or something, allowing team 2 to continue. Team 2 than lowers a lift or something so team 1 can continue.

And working as a team should be paramount. Solo play should be considered detrimental.

[Ultimatum]

you better make us all beta testers

[Nia]

Lol. This guy.. not him again.. XD jk

Don't mind him SSJGGoku... he doesn't seem to comprehend that he'd be a noob in this game.

Anyway, another thing a good MMORPG needs.

Reasonably frequent updates. New quests, equipment, etc.
And maybe new classes / races / whatever.

Letting it get stale is a death knell.

Kagu last boss, hmm 9/10 would play because one does not simply.....

[Zellion]

If you've been on dbocom, you've most likely saw me go on about this before. 

- Good graphics

- Well written story. inc quests

- Good/ balanced mechanics

- balanced classes

-  Frequent updates

- Well written story ( Yea, it's that important!)

[Xeyon]

I am not sure why most of you guys mention the story, since most players just bashing through the quests, without reading.
The quest Trackers make reading unnecessary and so a lot of players prefer fast leveling over story.

So I'd say:

- a good quest tracking system

- good combat(personally i love action combat, though that's hard to realize) that feels fluent and not boring

- a higher grade of difficulty, so reaching higher levels and succeeding certain quests become real achievements

- if it has a cash shop, then just a few of those lucky box **** items ( the best would be none). If people pay real money they should have the 100% chance to get what they pay for.

- challenging instances, which require real teamplay and strategy

- interesting PvP possibilitys (team PvP, guild wars, etc.)

[Flam3s]

Hope this helps

- Event boss fights are always fun (specialy random)
- Character customization this detailed
- Guild/Faction wars
- Ultimate skills or transformations like ssj in DBO are always fun for me
- Flying. Not many games have this but, but flying is just fun
- Tournaments

[Trender]

A nice thematic in general(like DBO 4 example)

[Majen]
