Second Life
Second Life is an unusual kind of MMO, less of a quest-driven game and more of an online hangout where the “content” is largely built by the people living in it. Residents create the avatars, outfits, animations, homes, vehicles, and even the small interactive experiences you stumble into while exploring, which makes the world feel more like a constantly evolving community project than a theme park.
