As you may have noticed the entire site has been rolled back almost a week.  Our database server crashed this morning along with our backup process.  The latest backups we had were from the 8th-11th.  Luckily we were able to get the features back but all of the forum data, user registrations, hype and rating counts etc were lost from the 8th onward.  Sorry for the inconvenience everyone!

Worst Graphics:  SWG (Yes, I voted different earlier, but then I watched a video of 2 medics fighting in SWG. Then I watched a SWG Beta movie...The gfx has degenerated into something from a kindergarten)

Least Fun:  SWG (Gameplay stinks. They moved from a world to a gamey game..without the content such a game type needs. Now it's all about grind to lvl 90..then quit or PvP..nothing else..booooring)

Most Desolate :  SWG (From a game that had hundreds of people in almost every town, where 20 person groups were plentifull, and even the most remote locations had several groups hunting...To a game where you can barely find someone to group with, nevertheless find anyone outside of the lil nerhole Restuss)

Worst Use of a Popular IP or License:  SWG (Oh boy, where to start. A game that allowed Star Wars fans to live in the Star Wars world..Sounds good right? Bugged to heck, and instead of fixing it, they get rid of all people devs who believed in living your own Star Wars life, and started hiring people who thought Star Wars was the dream game of the "Whats Star Wars? Is that like WoW?" generation...So instead of aiming the game at the millions of Star Wars fans(Tey didn't even advertise the game at the Star Wars fanbase locations) they wanted to target the same kiddies everyone else targets. And they also managed to make it a "bizzarro world Star Wars" version instead of "Star Wars". There's nothing Star Wars about SWG except a few textures.)

Most Shameless Developer :  SOE (There are others, but SOE stands out as the only ones who said "fuck off" to their current playerbase(wich before WoW was one of the largest in the western world) in favor of a non existant playerbase)


Most Likely to be Cancelled in 2007: SWG (With 10 million a year in licensing fee, and a unknown % of subscription income going to LEC, there's no way SWG are making money with 10-50k subscribers spread out on 25 servers, using a very expensive Oracle database. Only reason it's alive now is because they are on life support, trying their best to find the one patch that will have all people come back....Like that will happend with the NGE)


Biggest Stinker:  SWG-NGE (The game stinks! Everything that's good about the game is remnants from the first version of the game. Abut everything they have added to the game since their "New Game Enhancement" has been stinking piles of bugged versions of mechanics they removed and flawed game mechanics based on Helios's belief that PvP r0xx0rS, desperately trying to make the subscriber belive that the game is getting better. It stinks, it's like playing Fallout Tactics...Everything from Fallout that was dang good is gone.)

 

Okay, so I said more this time than last time I voted, but come on this is the "MMOWTF" awards.
