How dangerous will the world be? (PvE-wise)
One of the trends of modern mmos is that they don't really feel dangerous. In most of them, assuming you're appropriately leveled, you can pretty much go wherever you want without worry especially if you have a mount that allows you to travel past almost any enemy. Older mmos tended to be better at making the world feel threatening. In Final Fantasy XI, for example, monsters would generally be more dangerous the further you strayed from roads, and it also had extremely punishing aggro mechanics — linking, no leashing, and different types of aggro that would punish uninformed players. Some games had higher level bosses in low level zones that would terrorize low level players if aggro'd. Sometimes monsters had skills that were devastating if you weren't prepared to deal with them.

Hellgate’s filter, on the other hand, is just strange. You can find the full filter list on Google, but here are some of the…not so vulgar words that are filtered: Ash Audition bloodyhell bugs goddam irak iraq sadam saddam wigger I also noticed that resbian is censored, along with about twenty misspellings of fcuk.

A documenting system Book system
We can have some kind of books that max 10 pages can be written by players and some kind of bookstore inside the game so, people will make or buy the book item and write things and can sell them in a profit margin on any town city etc. I can hear you saying "whats the point?" There could be many many different types of books that written by players about combos, skills, bugs, guild rules of them and kinda stuff no limit. And i believe it may help new players or cause players inspire eachother or to invest some time in some fun books or interesting. That would be adding some rpg elements to the game. In addition we can have some kind of bookholding trophies that we put on anywhere on openworld so that would also have many different usage that depends on players imagination.
