Are you perhaps thinking of World of Warcraft and its "Rest" system? The one where the longer you NOT play, the more XP you can gain upon returning?
If so, it doesn't work very well. The XP boost lasts for about 10 minutes, or 3-5 monsters, and then it's back to normal. That's not really much of an incentive to "rest". At least that was its state a week ago...
City of Heroes does not have any such feature. What it does have is a sidekick/exemplar feature, where you can invite a friend lower/higher than your level to fight with you by raising/lowering their level for the duration of the "Team Up".
This does promote some stress relief, as you don't have to level as quickly as your friends; you can just be their sidekick if they outpace you (or vice versa).
That is one unique feature that all MMOs should have, but I don't think it's the one you're referring to...

I've been doing the same thing for a year and a bit now, and I don't charge. Maybe if I start charging, I'd get Slashdotted too? Hmph.
