Online Games

Part of the problem with Massivly Multiplayer Games (MMG) in which players share the world, is feeling signigicant. They tend to form societies, and true to real life, only a few people in a society can truely be of earth-moving importance.

One idea to solve this is giving each player control of a private domain that others can visit. The players could represent immortal beings, who control their own personal plane of reality. Certain planes could be controled by the admins, to ensure quality content, but otherwise development of the planes would be up to the players. The better a plane is developed, the more people will be attracted to play in that plane. Of course an option would be needed to ensure 'nomad' immortals, or playyers that don't want to develop a plain, wouldn't be left behind.
