You can always count on the eve-online fans here. To make sure that their game is always #1 in anything it's nominated in. Just like last year. I already knew what the results were before they were posted.

Well don eto Eve. What ever you think of the game, its nice to see a highly polished, community driven non-fantasy game getting recognition rather than just the most popular standard cookie cutter.

I am surprised that Age of Conan won most anticapated and not Warhammer. Warhammer almost has 2000 posts in its forum while Age of Conan has 1200 |

Originally posted by Mrbloodworth I think you actually missed the point, and then claimed it wasn't there. The point is this: Certain communities of people descend on this site every time their pet game is up for some sort of award. They aren't really readers, because they never come here other than to vote for their game. Agent_X7 AKA J Star |

and quite right too... Eve kicks every other game's ass tbh. Unless you like dressing up as a girl and waving a magic stick.

I play EVE and I come here but I didn't vote because I honestly don't care. Congrats though, I respect this communities view on MMOGs because they correspond nearly exactly where mine are. EVE > WoW AoC > WAR To the majority it's reversed but I agree with the above assessment and have agreed with the assessment of this sites for years. So if those people who come here just to vote and rig the awards to what I deem as correct I'm all for it. Keep up the good work. |

Originally posted by Agent_X7 I can't speak for other EVE players, but I've been visiting this site regularly for years, even if I don't post much. I regularly read the features if the title in any way interests me, and occasionally post if I find something I feel strongly enough about to respond. Please watch your sweeping gneralizations - such statements often come around to bite you in the ass when you least expect it. -Wrayeth |

I play WoW myself, and my personal view on this seems to be accepting towards the result. I don't care much about it tho, but it's nice to see what is popular. And even with all the WoW bashers it's still a very respected game on these forum :) I'm eager to try out EVE again, but with the steep learning curve the game has, I can't find time to make the fullest out of the 14day trial.

On the "Best New Game of 2007" page there looks to be a typo.
I'm assuming that is supposed to read 2x% for Fury, something higher than TR's 26% in any case. //insert sig here |

If there was a better game than eve in the list i would vote for it. Sucks that it hasnt come out yet.
Nice to see AoC win the most antecipated game of 2007. Really looking forward to try it. Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy |

It's probably only not sorted correctly. Those percentages come to 96%; I guess the other 4% didn't vote that category.

The one category that needs to be viewed in perspective is " Best new MMOG of 2007". LOTRO won because the other choices were total crap, not because LOTRO is a quality game. LOTRO is just a WoW clone and I didn't enjoy it beyond beta testing it. There is a good reason why both Spike TV and G4 neglected to offer a best MMOG category for 2007 award. I give credit to Turbine for releasing a polished game, sadly we have to acknowledge this as an accomplishment because so many games are released incomplete and buggy even though shipping a finished product should be the norm.

First off would of been nice if there was a "none" or "other" that I could of picked. Some of the categories didn't have anything i would of picked normally. Second, I'm not surprised WAR lost to AoC. The Conan hype machine is i full swing while WAR's seems to be quieter. Plus it is possible that since EA bought Mythic, the negative attitudes many have about EA have carried over to WAR. I mean they screwed up Motor City Online and Earth & Beyond, some may think they'll screw this up too. Finally, I agree about EVE. Not that it should of won the categories but that EVE fans are very zealous about their game. I have no doubt they came here and voted just to see their game win and never post here again (til next years awards). |

I agree across the board with every category except best overall game for 2007. I wouldn't have pegged EVE Online for that award, but the voters have spoken I guess, so grats to them.
What really stands out to me here is the extreme lack of choices in the sci fi genre. What the hell, come on devs! Quit copying each other and make something new for God's sake. Eve Online is really a niche game. I don't want to be a vehicle. I want to be a person, so that is out for me. Tabula Rasa is buggy but they are working on it. Maybe if they add housing, vehicles, and revisit character creation they could be a triple A game. And SWG and Planetside, both SOE games, didn't even make the list.
SWG...for god's sake's SOE get your heads out of your asses and give us what we have been asking for, a friggin Precu server. You really expect me to believe your brainiac devs who are soooo computer and tech smart didn't save their work somewhere. It's not impossible to give us Precu. There are hobbyists out there working on it right now. If there is a legal reason, or a licensing reason or some other more plausible reason why you can not give us sci fi fans what we have been begging for, atleast let us know so we can stop thinking about it. Because right now as it stands it just seems to be mean spiritedness and stubborness to turn upside down a community of a couple hundred thousand players.
I'd like to get over Precu SWG. I really, really would. But with no quality alternatives and shuffling between one fantasy mmo to the next it is really hard. And I'm so sick of it. |
