I doubt that will happen... The CCP guys have a vision of where things are going and I seriously hope that no awards or whinage will ever change this.
There is no such thing as an "award that should rightfully go to EVE" and I doubt that a game that sucks could rally the fans so much that they are willing to out vote everything else. |

This awards thread along with this makes at least one thing clear. That CCP has created a community that Blizzard and Sony and the others have not come close to being able to develope. Based on shear numbers, WoW takes the cake. EVE shouldn't even be in the finals if the other games bases showed similar support for the game they spend their time and money on, and yet they are a finalist. It is a large blemish on the other companies that they can not make comparable showing in the poll.
(One person voting multiple times under different accounts is a moot point for all the games attempting to be represented with this poll as a fan in any of the games can do it. Because games other than EVE have a larger subscription base, you would expect more of these kinds of things occur for those games. Making EVE fall behind even farther in the poll, which has not occurred.) Even if EVE loses, the other companies should be asking themselves why CCP was able to come up with this kind of showing in the first place. Sure Blizzard and Sony have the large subscription base, but that base doesn't seem to care about the game they play. edit: Or maybe Blizzard and Sony just don't let their subscribers know that this kind of poll is going on. Which doesn't make much sense, because it is free publicity (and what kind of company would turn that down?). |

EvE has PvE? I've been remiss for so long! As for it not being a strategy game, or a game of witts. I can direct you to the Alliance and Corporation forum where people are using confucian philosophy to break the will of other Corporations and alliances breaking down their funds, and minds until they can get a spy to start a civil war. Now that's strategy.

I actualy joined this site today mainly beacuse of a post to another forum about the readers choice awards. When I looked and saw the 2 contenders and the fact that they appear to be even in all respects I kinda though that some "new blood" would help this process. The big glaring things were things like the graphics ratings etc. EVE online is a nice game for many things (ie the economy and the business end etc) but one thing it does not do well in is graphics. Yes they are nice, but they certainly aren't original or even imaginative. I was very surprised to see them in the best graphics category. Anyhow this is obviously isn't honest voting or the people who play eve have never played any other games and so have no comparison (which I find hard to believe hehe) . Anyhow so now I come to vote as well to help remove games from categories they have no bussiness being in. (I also hate WoW hehe but I think they do good in the realm of graphics) It looks to me like a lot of people are just blindely voting cause they want their game to win cause its fun and they are not taking into account its shortcomings anyhow bye

Agreed.... Eve and WOW..hmm.. so overrated game... Most of players of those game have tons of time to vote... I'd played both games for few months.. Nothing really really special about that... Trust me, next year, gonna be same all over again... I dont even trust the game rating on this site anymore..

So you say the graphics of eve are bad but wow is good. I say the graphic in eve is very good but wow was outdated before it even hit the stores. Now, who is blindly Voting? You? Me? All categorys are highly subjective but apparently only a minority of this forum wants to accept this and blames others of "cheating" in the votes.  |

I didnt come to enter a debate with you I pointed out that there are a lot of games out there with better graphics and I can't for the life of me figure out how a game with outdated old graphics got onto a readers choice awards nor do I wish to speculate on why it did either.... I also didn't come here to be flamed or accused of stuff I didn't say!
For the record I would like to vote for none of these because there is MUCH better out there it simply doesn't give me the option I can only choose from the two listed which in my opinion neither of them diserve the best graphics award category period. That is the point .... ~Q~ |

Wow will win a lot of these, but not because it deserves to. Only because the rest of the market is pretty much pure trash. When the hell are MMO developers gonna make an MMO with the gameplay of wow combined with compelling content and good crafting? Is that really too much to ask for?

EVE is starting to show its age, but it still is a gorgeous game- watching a battle in EVE or flying through some of the beautiful environments still gives me tingles every time, and there isn't another game that can claim that. However high tech the engine is, I honestly can't see myself getting tingles over elves and wizards. I expect there were more deserving games to make it in tot hat category, though- how WoW got in there was a joke. |

Ok make a cuppa tea… you’ll be here a while. BTW this is a Pro WoW post. I played EVE once... over an hour into the tutorial I was lost and confused, a very hard game to get into which is why it has such low player figures I guess, but a friend of mine plays and he loves it but for me I want to play a game not listen to a VERY annoying voice for 2 hours. MMORPG.com is 90% wow haters we all know that but I’m sure a good number of the haters haven’t even played the game which is sad. Wow has great PvE from 1-60 (the first time round) you can do it solo or group and believe me it much better in a group, and to the guys who say "I got to 60 in 2 weeks", can I ask do you have a job/school? u must of played for 15 hours a day 7 days a weeks and just grinded mobs.. sounds like u botted the whole thing, took me about 3.5 months form 1-60 my first time around playing about 20 hours a week. Yes End game PvE is a bore but most playersguilds bring it upon themselves. As soon a new dungeon is opened they don’t spend the time to learn how to kill the bosses etc they go straight to Google and get a guide of how to do it, thus taking all the fun out of the whole experience. Wow also has the best PvP of any MMORPG I’ve ever played And I have played many, Guild wars (call that PvP?). But PvP is what you make it, currently my alliance guild have what we call "30 minute rumbles" with a horde guild on our server, We go to a secluded area of the game world near a grave-yard and just fight it out for 30mins none stop, the horde leader and alliance leader have a mod called "kill count" that counts how many times each side has lost a player and after the fight we see who has won, its great fun, both sides are mic'd up so we can shout, swear etc. Beats the hell out of running BWL for the 30th time, what other game can you see 80 players battling it out? We also raid horde capital citys atleast once a week and with the new patch we can kill vendors, quest gives and just simply wipe the whole city out while the horde players and town guards try to stop us. TOP FUN! WoW PvP and controlling the character in general is so fluid it a joy, you can jump over obstacles, hide behind objects, go swimming etc. I’ve not seen this any other MMO do this, guildwarz wins the "WTB jump button" and the “omg another invisible wall” award. So much bashing of wow gfx going on, you have to remember art direction as well as gfx, wow never was designed to have realistic graphics it when for the cartoonanim look. Where as games like EVE, GW, EQ went more for realistic graphics, but ask your self this, In 3 years which graphics will look more dated? Many here say wow community....full of kids, with 7 million players there will be some kids, but get your self into a guild and get communicating, nothing like login on and getting a whisper from a guild member who wants a hand with a quest or there’s a space in a Raid that needs filling. As with PvP its down to you to get active in the community.
Yes WoW can be classed as a simple/dumb down game, but its still the only Pickup'n'Play MMORPG out there, but If you enjoy sitting through 2 hours tutorials wondering around towns cus you don’t know what to do, then go ahead and enjoy EVE and EQ. Wow for president!! |

Seriously this "voting" is a joke. I don't know who made up the rules for this but you guys need to sit down and rethink them. Horrible, just horrible! First off, how can EVE Online, which came out in 2003, be even in the run for best graphics of 2006? If your going to have the best graphics of '06 then it should be for games that came out in '06, or games that had new graphics added or redon to make them better. You should have just called it best graphics of all time, and leave out the damn year. Second, the fact the almost all the choices for all your questions involved either Eve Online or WoW is screwed up. You fan boys seriously need to play other games. Who made up the rules for these questions, and made the decision that all the questions will involve answering Eve Online or WoW. Third, you should have had the "trash can" option for all the questions like you did for the one. I only voted on one question and the was the one for Most Anticipated, Star Trek Online. All the other questions and answers were garbage, which is where they belong. This voting this year is a stright dissappointment to all the other games out there who are not Eve Online and WoW. Again I will say it, HORRIBLE, just HORRIBLE! |

I have to say it, although I know it's been said before. All of you folks who are ragging on the "READER'S CHOICE" votes need to rethink YOUR position. Too often I see people flaying the staff and moderators here for topics that are beyond their control. I believe I read another post somewhere in the 18 pages of posts here, that also said what I'm about to... MMORPG.com puts this vote up for the benefit of its readership. They are not forced to, it's a service they provide to promote discussion (and obviously it worked!). I highly doubt that they would have "rigged" the vote - that's just plain stupid. So I guess my point is, stop complaining about how horrible it is and rigged and blah blah blah, etc etc etc. ~If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?~ |

Obviously, the way things worked out was not ideal, but ultimately, this is the Reader's Choice Awards. We cannot stop them from voting for EVE and WOW. Next year, I suspect we'll revisit the format again. You'd better because this is a joke. =====================  Currently playing: Nothing |

Don't know if anyone remembers Jethro Tull beating out Metallica for the new Heavy Metal category at the grammy's. Yeah, this award contest is just like that...
