Neopets is very interesting.  I can't stand it for more than a few
minutes at a time (and I even like cute cartoon creatures).  I tend
not to think of it as an MMO game, but as a web game.  It's also
free.  I am not very willing to put it into the same category as
pay-for-play MMOs.  That said, anyone working on web multiplayer
games needs to know about neopets.  It's quite amazing,

TSO I simply overlooked.
