EVE DOESN'T EVEN QUALIFY! But then neither does WoW, EQ2 or nearly anything in the nominations for that matter...as 2005 SUCKED for MMOs, except for GW...which was excellent, but noone thinks that's a MMORPG.
And as for EVE's graphics...hahahahaha...I could put a solar system poster on my wall track a model spaceship in front of it and take a video, and that'd equal the technical standard of EVE's graphics. Let's see something with ACTUAL polygons and textures win graphics...but NAAH! OMG, and Ryzom for STORY??? what the...?? Ryzom is one of the BIGGEST grind-festing non-story MMOs out there...
(Just my opinion...no flames required...congrats to EVE and CCP on the "wins")

Haha! Dont pop a vein kid. This thread would have made me cry if i wasnt laughing so hard while reading it. EvE won fair and square and it deserved every award it was nominated in. Personally im a bit dissapointed it wasnt nominated in more categories, that would have been even more fun.

Lol this thread really makes me laugh.

Eve won, and it deserved to. It has won plenty other awards too.

If you play WoW, the chances are you won't like Eve and the Eve community won't like you, so don't bother trying it.
If you play EQ, GW or most other MMORPGS then download the trial of Eve and give it a bash if you haven't tried it already.

From the traffic on the eve main page it looks like you already are.

Congrats to CCP and their title EvE

As the graphics win of EvE seems to be controversial the question is how do you define "best graphics"?

Choice a)
Most Polys? Use of newest available graphics features?
If thats your defenition of good graphics then EvE probably didnt deserve to win this category.

Choice b)
Style and quality of design?
If thats your defenition of good graphics then EvE probably deserved to win in the graphics category. 

On a little sidenote - Every design pro will tell you good design is timeless.

Congrats to all the winners!

I just wanted to say that I have played both WoW and EVE, and i voted for EVE because I simply find it to be a better game. It's a more mature game, you do basically whatever you want, and you're not forced into being like everyone else.

Those are just my thoughts anyways. Personally I'll be playing Auto Assault when it comes out, though I've been considering reactivating my eve account, heh.

It wouldn't let me edit my post, sorry for the 2nd one.

I just wanted to point out that the reason any game won was because they got more votes, simple as that. If you voted for a game and it didn't win, more people voted against you. It doesn't mean your game is bad, just that more people (that voted) liked another one better.

I agree with most winners except best game. Eve cannot be a best game because it fits only a very specific player profile. I think WoW at best or EQ2 at worse should be best game because they fit general MMORPG player profile, they are fit for the masses. Dont take me wrong, I like Eve, but i cant play it for long, its too grinding for me, takes too long to accomplish anything major, takes to long to get to the juicy part. With WoW and EQ2 you get into action right away. Just another reason not to trust online polls 100%

If you want a more precise poll, just read the subscribtion numbers, the best game will have the most number of active players. 70k is nowhere near the 5 million (according to WoW press release, 5 mil IS the amount of active player accounts, NOT the total amount of game copies sold).

I would agree on almost all counts but..... Eve best graphics?

Sorry but you are having a laugh

Eve's graphics don't even come close to the graphics in EQ2 and this is an active Eve player for the last two years saying this. Sure their are some great backdrops, some of the ship designes look a bit old now but really EQ2 should have won this hands down.
