After over a month and two rounds of voting, the results are in. This year saw a pitched battle between CCP's EVE Online and World of Warcraft in a number of categories as more than 60,000 votes were cast in the nomination and final voting rounds.
You can read the Awards here. Cheers, |

Like everyone didn't see those results coming... Of course, every other game company doesn't really care who MMORPG.com votes for, so how is this suprising? Eve was the only company I seen where the actual game posted on their website for everyone to come vote. I don't see who would take this seriously anyways. Why not make it next year where new accounts don't count towards the votes, and that an account had to be active within atleast the last 30 days to vote. Honestly though, I'm sure you enjoy the tons of throw away accounts that are created. Just makes your site look like it gets more hits. |

Eve winning the best PVE award. Hmm something is wrong here...

Well this is pretty obvious.
There are a few reasons why this happened: 1. MMORPG.com got tons of nominations, but only nominated WoW and EVE. Why? I don't know, but its stupid as heck. 2. WoW sucks. Nobody playing WoW cares enough about the game to bother voting for it. And most WoWers know that the PvE sucks, so it didn't even win that. Therefore, EVE won. Please, MMORPG.com, let a few other games get nominated next time, at least to make it appear as if there was a fair poll |

Originally posted by PhoenixsWell the answer to that is pretty simple: 1. The latest expansion added a huge amount of PvE content, and by extending the voting past the expansion, MMORPG let that expansion affect the votes. 2. WoW PvE sucks. Since MMORPG.com refused to nominate a non-EVE game with better PvE in addition to WoW, EVE won by default. |

Also, as far as I know, the EVE forum post and news article on the topic did not affect the vote, as from what I heard they had to dump all the votes after a certain date and restart due to technical issues.
By the time the restart came, the news article was off the front page and the thread on the topic in the EVE Online forums was unstickied and a few dozen pages back. I think the meaning of this is quite simply that either WoW sucks donkey balls (it does), or that the only people who are playing WoW don't care enough to vote. |

Originally posted by Drachii P.S. If I haven't said it enough already, PLEASE ADD MORE GAMES TO THE VOTE NEXT TIME, and SHOW 1ST/2ND/3RD/4TH/ETC PLACE so that even if one game sweeps the vote, all the other votes are still meaningful. |

I believe the technical issues they had happened way after the voting happened.

EEEEEEEEEEK!! EVE fanboi invasion. I agree that EVE Online is a decent game, but in NO way I can agree with the results. ''Best PvE: EVE Online (huh?)'' Although, we should not take this Choice Award too seriously. It is only based on fanboi votes. |

Originally posted by sven101What happened was that MMORPG.com turned it into WoW vs EVE. The vote *actually* said that "EVE PvE is better than WoW PvE", which is probably true. It did not say that EVE PvE was the best, because no other games were in the voting |

Originally posted by sven101Well when you're only other choice is to vote for "World of FedEXCraft", EVE wins by default. I'm an self-professed EVE fanatic and I voted for EQ2 in the nominations because the sheer variety of different PVE in that game (and quality of it) dwarfs both EVE and WoW. But it didn't make it past the first stage. I'm glad that EVE won it though because the last thing WoW deserves is an award for mediocrity. |

No it couldn't be that alot of EVE players like to use MMORPG for both EVE and MMO news pushed their emails...
Eve isn't for everybody, but we who like it, like it alot.
Cheers!
