Herotopia
(2010-2019)
This one is a bit funny for me to think about. When you loaded the game at the bottom would be an invite your friends link
this link also worked to give your friends a 7 day free trial if they already had an account and you sent it by email. What's
funny is you could use the codes on your own account so I basically had infinite membership for awhile until they removed
the feature all together. Herotopia was more of a childrens MMORPG with simple puzzles. You played as a super hero that you could dress-up
and had a secret base you could decorate. You went on quests, if you had membership, and solved puzzles/played minigames.

Sadly it seems the game never really gained any traction because any time I was online the servers and ingame areas
were basically empty. The game was made tied to a tv show called The Zula Patrol that I watched as a kid.
Here is the summary of the show from imdb!
