I think Warhammer Online would suit me. But the number of votes is low. Maybe we have to vote for it

Why do I get the feeling that the OP posted a scammer link?

Link seems fine. They have categories for MMOs made in 2010, still running, and anticipated. I voted.

It's MMOSITE.com. 

 

Anything that isn't a free to play Korean grinder is immediately shunned by the community over there. I'm not saying WAR is a masterpiece, but you're looking toward a very biased community where the polls are often skewed by each game posting on its forums/website to flood the poll with its players.

 

90% of the categories for most anticipated run 1-200 votes.

World of Tanks: 27,903 votes.

I did enjoy seeing the votes for best gameplay.  Two games in the tens of thousands, and the rest under 1k...a little suspect on the voting.

That's what happens when the game's community floods the polls.

I dunno if failure is the right word but it is still a semi failure. Before launch were the devs goal to beat Wow and get millions of subs, or at least so they said in several interviews so calling the game a success would be silly, particularly since Mythic almost ceased to exist since the launch.

The game do have some good points but they have the same problem as Vanguard now, too few devs to make all the content the game really needs and too few players for the publisher to hire more devs. And a bad release have made the reputation of the game bad among MMO players.

I can't really vote for the game with good conscience, it do have some good points but as a real Warhammer fan I see too much stuff that no Warhammer game should have and not to mention what is missing in it.

If EA put some money into it the game could regain a lot of players but the question is if they would keep them after the launch of 2011s lineup of games. A fixup to get the game more "Warhammer" could work well since there are millions of warhammer fans, but most of us just didn't think this feels like a real warhammer game, the mood is wrong and the lore is butchered.

Still, I you havn't tried it you might consider doing that. It have some fun things, particularly in T1 which is free and I have a feeling you like it better if you havn't played any real Warhammer game.

Isn't the point of this thread to try to do the same thing?

tens of thousands for games that barely have that number of players? Sounds like bots.

 I don't have anything against korean games (see as I am excited for TERA) but those people over there will immidiately bash everything that is p2p or doesn't look like a shitty low production value asian crap. For example I stumbled on a Rift article over there and everyone bashed it for being p2p and it would fail for being so while they are praising games like Silkroad online...

Most articles there that are worth reading are either copied from mmorpg.com or massively.

As for the World of Tanks, the game has 500,000 active players, I'm not surprised especially if there has been any community move to vote the game on that site...But yeah, the site sucks

It doesn't take much reading of mmosite before you realize that the site and the community are shills for some of the lowest in quality for free to play mmos.

Haha. Looking at some of these results are hilarious. Best P2P, TERA and Rift are listed, as well as GW. GW isn't even a P2P and the former two aren't even released.

 

He who keeps his cool best wins.
