I voted for EVE in:
1. Graphics
2. PVP
3. Best game
PVE? No way! Story? What story? WOW? I'm not 11!!!
EVE deserves to be best game, it's 100000 times deeper and more complex then any mmo out there. Not all prizes should have been won by EVE but hey, where are other games to compete against? WOW? City of Heroes?!? Or some non-mmo titles like Guild Wars?!? Don't be kidding me, get some competition out there before you start bitching about results of the pool! Right now we get games like 9dragons etc comming out... wuuuuuurg... you think these will beat EVE?
Bottom line: EVE rocks if you are into SF. Number of votes proves many are. WOW? Played by people that can't even surf properly to cast a vote... or don't even care about it..
Now lets talk companies behind the games
Blizzard: Money only company, max the profit by selling mainstream recycled ideas. Customers? Pay or beat it!
Sony: Muahahahahahahaha... ok next
.... list goes on without change...
CCP: Brave and experimental, one server, content before looks, no ripoff policy.
Get the picture now? I have no doubt CCP will turn into (B)Lizzard later on since there is no escaping the 'call of the cash' but right now they are a breath of fresh air... for years!
Look at the facts before you go 'fanboying' your fav game.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please. |

Originally posted by Aletto EvE won because it has a massive presence on the internet - you never hear about it when conversing casually with people who know only the basics of MMORPGs - WoW, EQ2, FFXI. They don't need some website to put up stupid half-rigged awards to get them subscribers, whereas EvE and its fanboys seem to have mmorpg.com in their pocket. Here's hoping next year's contest will be fair. so uhm .. according to your logic - "people who know only the basics of MMORPGs" don't use the internet as "EVE won because it has a massive presence on the internet"? and i "never heard about" certain niche artists "when conversing casually with people who" aren't that much into music - so does this "never heard about them in casual talk" say something about 'quality'? [take a look at the whole MTV stuff before you phrase your counterargument ]and what wasn't fair about this award and what actually was rigged?? can you tell me this? did everyone besides of EVE start with -1000 votes? or were the votes of EVE players multiplied by 2? or were all non-EVE players ip-blocked from the vote? |

so, if this is eve online sister site, how do you explain wow forums having 4x times as many posts and topics than eve forums on this site? in fact eve's forums got less activity than GW and EQ2 forums also. not only that, up there on the right corner you see there are 500k members on this site, yet 4k voted for eve only, and you say this is rigging the polls? bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh accept it, EVE won, that is it. there is no conspiracy here. it is just a better game. oh, and for those talking about new accounts created just to vote for EVE, remember last year EVE won 4 categories out of 3 nominations!!!!!! i guess it was rigged also last year congrats EVE and CCP |

These results simply indicate that a large number of EVE players frequent MMORPG.com. Other than that its just fluff. Readers choice is for fun only. Let the EVE players have fun with it. I'm not in the least bit surprised by these results. We'll probably see the same thing next year regardless of whatever comes of the current crop of games. EVE fans are rabid.
Edit: This note is for the editor: Next year just use the results from the first round of voting. EVE will still win but at least we can see some of the other results. Having WoW as the only other option on the "final vote" greatly skews what people really think of that game. |

I'm rather new to these forums but from what i have understood there was a voting, most people voted on WoW and EVE therefor between those 2 EVE has won...right?, ifso why are people so uptide about its outcome, i mean i play wow havn't touch EVE but congrates EVE on your win, maybe if i look at some other forum/poll/topic on a different website a maybe totaly different game might have won.

Originally posted by Thony People are angry because a large group of MMOG players feel that EVE is a really boring game and doesn't deserve its accolades. Its all just opinion. A lot of people like it and a lot don't and the ones that do like it seem to enjoy mocking those that don't as inferior in some silly way. This in turn cause the mocked player to retaliate which in turn causes a flame war. You then see threads with 150+ replies with titles like "Why EVE is the best game ever" or "EVE is horrible..." or some obvious flame bait. |

I loose respect for this site when I see horse crap like this. I have 3 accounts on EVE and it definatly didn't deserve to win every single damn categorie.

I honestly am not suprised by these results. Eve Online is a great game. I enjoy it immensely. I admit that I had not even heard of mmorpg.com until the advertisement was posted on the Eve Online website.
I'm not saying that WoW is a bad game. It's just not one that I can enjoy. I wore myself out on fantasy games. Slapping around harpies with the hopes of gaining a magical sword just doesn't appeal to me anymore. In the end, this is a vote of opinion. Obviously, one opinion had stronger support than others. Personally, I did vote for Eve in every catagory that it was present in... but not just because I'm a fan. I considered the other games, considered what I've seen and felt of them, and considered the opinions of my friends who play them, and determined that Eve was the choice that best reflected my opinions. I'm sure that if there had been more variety in the vote options, I would have voted differently... but this really did become an Eve vs. WoW vote, and in all of the voted catagories, I like Eve better. Of all the things that people could be fighting about, which MMORPG won a popular opinion vote is a pretty damn sorry one. This just isn't that important, people. And if World of Warcraft had swept every catagory, I would be saying the same thing. Remeber, over everything else: It's just a game. |

Originally posted by Teleboas QFT, i see no reason for eve to win anything except maybe graphics, but as we can see from all these votes and the "highest ranked" list we can clearly see how EVE devs are couraging their players to come and vote their crappy game here. Currently playing: MMORPG.com hatefest forums! Waiting for: GW2, ArcheAge, Firefall & TSW Dead and Buried: SWTOR, Darkfall, AO, AC2, Vanguard, CoH/V, EnB, EVE, Neocron, FE, EQ, EQ2, DAoC, FFXI, SWG, WoW, and billions of eastern junks(this includes that horrid Aion, glad i only beta'ed)! |

oh no, not again. those arguments make you look dumb. this site has more than 500k members that can vote. that is 3x as many as EVE players. even if the so called "CCP: award campaign" had been incredibly succesful, eve players would only count for 1/3 of the total votes. think harder to bring up a good argument, or else accept the results. |

There are thousands and thousands of people who like Eve enough to pay a notable subscription each month, so daying dogmatically that it is crap and therefore shouldnt win anything is far more rediculous than any perceived flaws with the competition.

I think maybe it was more of a vote against WoW than a vote for EVE.
After SWG fell apart, there's a large amount of people still searching for a MMORPG to fill the gap, but all we get are crappy attempts at recreating WoW. A vote for EVE was a vote for not being afraid to be different, and hopefully a giant middle-finger to WoW and its ilk! |

Not sure if this has been mentioned, as I'm not going to read 8 pages of argu... er, posts. I was re-reading the awards, and saw this line at the end of the last award page that I don't remember seeing on my first read through. Did this appear after the (understandable) forum reaction, or was it always there?
Either way, a new system is definitely called for, but try not to type with your tongue next time. ~ Michael |
