Always outspoken, Dan Fortier returns to MMORPG.com with his MMOWTF column. Today, he's handing out his awards for the best of the worst of 2006.

Welcome back to the 2006 MMOWTF Awards. Despite threats and plummeting approval ratings, I'm still your host for this weekly jaunt into forbidden territory. This week, we tally up all the votes that you placed and give out some punk cards to the losers in each category. I painstakingly counted each and every post/ballot and finished a mere couple of hours before the forums were the victim of a database failure. Each of the categories will show the game you voted for followed by my choice. Now without further ado, let's see how you voted:

Read the column here.

Cheers,

Pain is fear leaving the body..

No surpirse - The members have no love for SWG. When it first came out I had no qualms with it, as everyone else.

I had no idea it was loathed that much though..

Die trying

Im surprised DARK AND LIGHT didnt get any more hate than it did.

The devs still owe me money for the month i paid without even getting into the game.
I pretty much gave up after the 6th letter i sent them..

I managed at least to cancel the subscription .

You might as well announce that SWG has received a special "Llifetime Dechievement" award and shelf it for these kinds of competitions.  With as much hate as it's generated, it wll continue to "win" for many more years.

I miss early SWG too.  /sniff

LOL well I posted this up on the official SWG forums and it lasted all of 3 minutes before being deleted.  Should have added in a forum Nazi category.

swg seduced me, got me into bed, told me she loved me, gave me the best night of my life and then stole my wallet, wrote "I am gay" in permanent marker on my forehead, had a sex change, and married my mother. Why'd that she/man whore have to marry my mother!?

(warning - not all of the above is metaphorically accurate)

2006 was a horrible year for new releases.  Nuff said.

"You know what happened to the man that got everything he ever wanted? He had nothing to hope for."

Heh, Dan picked the same games for every category as I did except for most likely to be cancelled, which I chose Horizons. The man's got good taste

"The NGE sucks." - Me

"SWG NGE is the fools folly..." - JestorRodo

I am very surprised you didn't award SWG/$OE any awards yourself, but to each his/her own.  There are certainly many games deserving of many of the dishonors you offered (DAoC, DnL being two who stand out in my mind) but I truly doubt that no company has so persistently taken so many missteps, said so many wrong things, and just flat out pissed off so many as $OE has with SWG.  SWG has long been the poster child for "What Not to do With an MMO" and until $OE takes strong steps to appease its subscribers, it's going to continue to win many awards in these kinds of contests.
