For a while now my favourite MMO has been RIFT and, although I don't play it very much anymore, it has a lot of features that I would include in an MMO if I were to make my own.
RIFT, always and forever. I have tried a lot of MMORPGs over the years, starting out with the all-powerful (and addictive as anything) "World of Warcraft", through to lesser known ones such as "The Secret World". But I have to say that Rift will forever be my favorite one of them all. The reasons are so many that will just name the ones just off the top of my head. - They made Time Travel and Alternate Timelines work (which is no simple task, and a lot of developers and writers get it wrong in a major or minor way) - The dev team listens to the community - Class versatility - RP community and story potential - BUDGIES!!! Those things are adorable and I want them all (but I still don't have even one *sad face*) - Player spaces (not housing, they took it one step beyond and further by giving players customizable spaces where they can have just about anything!) - Free to Play, NOT pay to win. Although because of everything else on the list, I don't mind supporting the game AT ALL. Although this model seems to be changing with the new expansion, we will see how that goes. - So much more that I would have to sit here about another hour or more just typing and expanding on the different aspects of it, and I don't think anyone wants to read a comment THAT long.
That's it for now, go on with your day. Dive into your favorite MMORPG, but I highly suggest giving RIFT a try (at the very least) along your virtual journey.
So many to choose from since so many have great things and not so great ones as well. Not to mention things change as time goes on, especially if the game doesn't.
To narrow it down to just one, I'd have to go for an oldie that I had so much fun with that had a LOT of innovative feature for the players that either haven't been duplicated, or are rather new to the rest of the mmorpg world:
Playing ESO now but my favourite so far (at beta and for the next 7 years) was LotRO as I was a massive consumer of Tolkien. Standout moment had to have been when I could play Everquest in full 3D after using the bordered client for a while!

I have found in my lifetime, that the beauty of hating stupid people is, that it crosses all racial boundaries.
