General Discussion

Here are our seven categories:

• Favorite Graphics: Won last year by EVE Online, this category was open to all games on the market, but only two survived the first round of voting.
• Favorite PvE: World of Warcraft was selected by our readers last year as their Favorite PvE Experience. Do they have what it takes to retain the crown? This category, again, was open to all games in commercial service, but again, only two made it to the finals.
• Favorite PvP: EVE Online was your favorite PvP experience last year. Did a year change anything? Once again, two made it to the last round..
• Favorite Story: The Saga of Ryzom pulled off an upset victory last year. Now, with the Ryzom Ring can they retain their crown as the favorite world/role-playing/backstory of any released MMORPG on our list? Three games challenge.
• Most Anticipated: Open to all games that have yet to launch, last year's winner Dungeons and Dragons Online has hit the market. Who will take home the crown this year? An amazing six games will duke it out.
• Favorite New Game: This category is from a list of games that launched to commercial service in 2006 and is the only new category in this year's awards. Who, if anyone, deserves the crown?
• Favorite Game: Finally, from among those games on the market, what is your favorite MMORPG? Last year, the voters said EVE. Will it be them or a challenger with the trophy?

Ok I'd like to be the first to say that your desicion to use open voting then only take the game that got 10% for finals voting made this the lamest Reader's Choice awards I've ever seen. Sure people complained last time that you bascially told them who they could vote for but you made it a hundred time worse.

You might as well call it the EVE vs WoW awards...you seriously need to re think this entire process if this is the result.

You guys really do listen sometimes. Thanks for adding the "None of the Above" option I was crying for a couple of weeks ago. 2006 was a year to forget as far as new MMOs go...

I want to know why STO is on the most anticipated list?  I am looking forward to playing STO but I dont think it will be out for a long time compared to others on the list which are supposed to come out this year.  I dont think STO will go live til 2009 IMO.  They don't even have an official site up yet.

maybe im blind, but i didnt see that option, so I guess i cant vote since i would vote in only one or two of the seven categories.

I personally found it strange that EVE got voted in for best PvE.  The game is amazing, but PvE it just doesn't have.  Eh, oh well.  If they win out, I'll definitely laugh.
