One approach that several early MUDs/MOOs/MUSHs used was to have
embedded minigames. You had a virtual world that provided overall
context, but within that world was a selection of games. Tic tac
toe, fizzbin, poker, whatever. I think a nice selection of
minigames would add quite a lot of spice to big fancy MMORPGs.
Right now, there are usually only a few minigames: Hunt, Duel, and
Free For All PvP. Oh, and Item Collector and Cybersex. All of
these can be fun, of course, but a little more variety would be nice
sometimes ;-).
