What a surprise :)))))) i expected SW ToR to take this award with all the inovations it brings to genre.................. :)

"Help us Arena Net, you are our only hope."

I guess the modified quote would be more suited for SW:TOR but I dont think many are expecting any truly innovative, in regards to MMORPGs, to come from Biowares first MMORPG.

I forgot to vote, and would have done for SWTOR if I got around to it.

Either people were like me, or were not aware of the vote or maybe just thought it may get delayed into 2012 or maybe it is because it is expected to be another free MMO whereas SWTOR will have some form of payment model.

I have zero interest in GW2, I'm not even going to try it.

I think everyone who voted for GW2 will be in for a BIG disappointment.

The game is soulless, shallow and ultimately a very unsatisfying experience, much like every previous NCSoft game.

 Hey no stealing the line i'm using in my sig.

The innovating things i can think of for ToR would be the fully voiced over dialog

The idea you can change how quests play out

The duck and cover system

The morphing system for your character.

The companion system.

Seems pretty innovating to me.  but /shrug to each their own, poll is no surprise to anyone though, not even the people off site.  They called this miles ahead. happy to see swtor is 2 though.

*shocked*

GW2 more anticipated than SWTOR..? I'd never expect that, and certainly not with that big a difference!

Funny to see DCUO with 3.3% at the bottom while it goes live  next week :D

 Though I don't agree with your conclusion, I do mirror it's basic sentiment.  There definitely seems to be something lacking in GW2, but there was something lacking in GW and it was widely popular, so lots of people are going to enjoy it. 

Personally I am much more looking forward to playing a mult-person Bioware game, but to each his own, and I'll undoubtedly at least try GW2.

 Except for being fully-voiced acted, adding to immersion. Except for dialogue decisions that alter storylines and can't be changed. You may not be excited about these features, but you cannot say they are not innovative or have been done before.

Before I get accused of rabid fandom, I am actually more excited for GW2, but looking forward to TOR also. I just couldn't let him dismiss TOR as being nothing new, because it is, even if it isn't new in the way some of you want.

I truly think it's because of all the games listed, GW2 has shown me the most.  Letting me see 2 hours of pure gameplay, sound and HD and no annoying salesmen talking during it is what made me go WOW, I need to play that. 

 Funny, that footage was exactly what made me decide I had no interest whatsoever in this game. I felt like I was looking at just another one of those F2P asian crap games that we're being bombarded with.

We'll have to see how it works out- anticipation has nothing to do with how the actual game will be received anyway, it's more a matter of hype than anything which is ultimately meaningless.

While initially I was far more interested in SW:TOR the more I have come to know about the game the more it just seems like KoTOR 3: the Don't Pirate Me Edition. Just screams single player online game with some extraneous grouping capabilities.

NCSoft is only the publisher, the game is made by ArenaNet

Also please please expand on why you think it's soulless, shallow and ultimately a very unsatisfying experience.

 I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about. Honestly I can't help but believe you have never seen that footage.

Lol, why are you making excuses for SWTOR's ranking?

I know the footage is not amazingly mind-blowing but.....where did you get that from? And your earlier statement about NCsoft? Jeez man, are you sure you don't just have a hate thing going on for NCsoft?

This was expected. However i wasn't expecting GW2 to beat SWTOR with such a considerable amount of margin.

What a surprise. Go back to when GW2 was just a name and TOR still had the hype train rolling strong and the results would be flipped. Now that A-Net is proclaiming GW2 as the most innovative thing since sliced bread (see, that works better than "best thing since sliced bread") and has shown us pretty polished footage, they're on top of the hype pile. TOR will pick up again as we get closer to spring and BioWare releases more videos/substantial info, which they've been steadily doing over the last few months/weeks. A-Net will likely respond with more of how their game will be the most innovative thing since sliced bread.

Let's hope GW2 doesnt end up like GW1, of the Hype will Wither N Die..

As for BioWare, they are taking a huge leap into the future of MMO's give them time to bloom and see what comes of it..

SWToR - Mass Effect MMO - there even might be a Dragon Age Online..

Yay! The sequel to my favourite MMO has won.

I'll be playing both Star Wars and Guild Wars of course.

They both deserve it methinks.

Wow dcuo inder 4%,  thats a shocker considering how much love its gotten on this site lately, and how much the fan boys been protecting it.

Now gw2 being in top hmmm thats interesting as well.
