MMORPG has certainly been of great social and leadership value
I have seen much value to my own ability to work in and lead groups in a fun, relaxed way through my participation in an MMORPG. Given that the other players actually pay to play, the strategy of do it because I said so is not as effective as in the workplace, so you learn how to motivate people in positive ways instead, which in the end is so much more effective. The MMORPG has even helped me to clearly and effectively discover, understand, and change attributes about myself in social contexts which need improvement; where no manager or co-worker could enlighten me. The relaxed environment and lack of "job repercussions" allowed me to bring the defenses down enough to see room for improvement and to see how natural leaders help others to improve in positive ways.
