I think that one is already in the wild. A system tacked onto Steam a few weeks ago that allows you to use your Steam account and payment preferences to pay for ongoing subscription-based games. Then again, maybe they are planning a few extra fiddly bits down the line.
Ooh! How about flags? You earn flags as promotional items or for owning certain games, then can display flags in different MMOs you play. So, say for instance, you really like playing Firefall, the upcoming FPSMMO. You get a Firefall flag for playing that game, then, when someone asks you to play Spiral Knights, a top-down dungeon crawler MMO, you can display your Firefall flag on your person.
Okay, now that I've typed it out, it seems kinda silly.
