A great video on multiplayer

I have stumbled upon this in my research and thought it was worth marking here

Social Mechanics

Some things I found really important in this video is as follows:

Keep game leadership happy.  Leaders often have incredible pull in a society, and online games are no different.
There are some things that there is an infinite amount of and subsequently has little to no value.  Giving gifts of something that has an apparently limited supply can go a long way in keeping players loyal.
Make players feel as though they have a say in the game, with something like an election, and they will feel invested.
I'm sure there are many others I'm forgetting, so I'll keep this link for later.
