Graphics - Still have to go with EQII. Was in the buissness for 5 yrs & Outer space graphics way to easy to make. PVE - EQ2 (second choice COH) PVP - Lineasge II: Not big on PVP but I enjoy L2's fast paced action. (Second choice WOW) Story - Matrix Online: (Don't laugh most MMORG's don't have a storyline (2nd choice Guild Wars factions) Most anticipated - Vanguard: Fave new game of 06 - None Zarraa Voltayre Ancient Legacy/Zero Sum/Silver Phoenix/Damage Inc. EQI EQII DAOC AC2 COH COV GW WOW MoX EVE L2 Dutchess Zarraa Voltayre |

These awards are pointless. They dont show anything except the fact that EVE fanbois have once again flooded the system. CCP told all the EVE fans to come vote and so they are. If Blizzard did the same thing I guarantee WoW would win by sheer numbers. These awards show nothing except how many EVE fanatics this site attracts. |

EVE devs never said WHAT to vote for, just to come vote. |

If EVE has a lot of fanbois there must be a reason somewhere.

I find it amusing that some of the people on this site think that there's some massive conspiracy involving the EVE devs and players to artificially boost EVE's rating. As I said last year, it's time to drag out your tinfoil hats, because "obviously" no one is safe from CCP. Seriously, EVE players just play the damned game. I have one and only one MMORPG.com login which I check sporadically from time to time. I know of no one with multiple MMORPG.com accounts. As for the actual vote, I voted for EVE in the categories where I felt it deserved the win. For graphics, I voted EVE - dated as they are, the graphics are still stunning. For PvP, it was no contest. For story, I almost didn't vote because I don't know enough about the stories of the other games out there. I know I'd rate EVE's backstory highly, but I'm not sure that I would call it the best. However, it was then that I realized there's another aspect to story that's pretty much unique to EVE: the player-driven one. In no other MMO do the players shape the universe as much, and it's all on one server to boot. Taking this into account, I decided that EVE was truly deserving of this one, and cast my vote accordingly. Despite my disagreements with a number of the things CCP are doing in Kali (and quite a few things I think they SHOULD be doing but are not), EVE still wins out for my overall MMO favorite game, so I voted accordingly in that category as well. In all of the other categories save one, my lack of knowledge of other recent MMOs, combined with my certainty that EVE was definitely not the best in that category, I chose not to vote. In the one other category I did vote in, I voted for Vanguard: SoH as my most anticipated game. In Vanguard's case, I originally discovered it when I was browsing the websites of several of my favorite artists and discovered that Keith Parkinson had accepted a position as art director at Sigil Games. Intrigued by the possibility that an MMO might have the same look as one of his paintings, looked into the game further and discovered that, in addition to graphics that look like true art, Vanguard's slightly different approach to a traditional fantasy MMO appealed to me. Thus, I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to try it out.

EVE devs never said WHAT to vote for, just to come vote. Reader's Choice voting underway at MMORPG.com MMORPG.com has announced that voting has begun for the 2006 Player's Choice Awards. Thanks for our enthusiastic and supportive community, EVE Online kicked some serious award buttocks last year, winning four out of seven possible categories. Can we do it again? You bet your Leviathan we can, but only if you cast your vote now!
If you can't see that is the same thing as asking to vote for EVE, then words can't even discribe how biased you are. |

If you can't see that is the same thing as asking to vote for EVE, then words can't even discribe how biased you are.
Firstly, you are wrong by saying they are asking to vote for EVE, they stated they won some categories last year, and then said they thought they would win again. They then stated the only possible way for them to win is if people vote. Are you trying to say that if people don't vote for EVE, that makes it more fair? Secondly, even if they were trying to get people to vote for the game they made and work hard on everyday, so what? If you made a game, and worked hard on it, and made money off of it, you would want people to express their opinions about it, especially when the opinions are good. Thirdly, of course people are biased, saying they aren't is just stupid. You're asking people to vote for their favorite game. The definition of bias (there were several I took the one relating to our discussion), taken from dictionary.com - a particular tendency or incliination, especially one that prevents unprejudiced consideration of a question; prejudice. Now when asking "what's your favorite?" you're asking for a biased opinion, and I think most people (WoW and EVE fanboys alike) will agree with me. Lastly, to the orininal quotee, ravex5, you're probably right and if Blizzard made the same statement CCP did on their website, maybe more WoW people would vote and they would win. Too bad they don't. P.S. Just to let anyone who might reply to this know, I'll probably forget about this by tomorrow so I might not post about this again. |

so they got my vote in everything except PVP, still gave that to Legend of Ares just because a lot of areas are riddled with pvpers and you have no choice but to go by them to get to your training areas. So sometimes it seemed intense just trying to train :)

A lot of these catagories seem hard to quantify. With so many different MMO's out there, what are the chances that someone really knows enough about all of them (much less played more than one or two) to make a really informed vote. I think this will simply come down to a popularity contest at best.
With that said, I'm really looking forward to Age of Conan and Stargate Worlds. ;-) Crypto |

 I think this is only my third time ever posting but I felt compelled to say that 2006 was the sorriest year in mmorpg history. Every game that came out was HORRID and all of our favorites have succombed to what I like to call WOW disease. TO ALL GAME MAKERS WE HAVE A WOW WE DO NOT WANT ANOTHER CRAPPY VERSION OF IT. In 2007 I would love to see the return of skill based games like SWG used to be before the idiot MORON DEVS took over affectively killing the game off. Looking forward to 2007 or RETURN OF CHALLENGING GAMES THAT KIDS WILL STAY AWAY FROM (hopefully  )

Wow, sad days when your favorite release game of the year was Silkroad
And that was because you played it for twice the time of most of the other listed games (30minutes or so) Graphics : EVE (may not be top notch, but it creates the perfect atmosphere for the game, something alot of games forget) PvE : WoW (what can i say, i dont have a 60 yet) PvP : EVE (only one that offers meaningful PvP IMHO) Story : EVE (Great Chronicles, and everything is explained in character) Anticipated : Age Of Conan (more meaningful PvP) New : SWG ^D^D^D Silkroad (what a crap year it has been) Best : EVE (how could i not after voting for the above list) Nasica |
