I second every choice made. World of Warcraft, whether you swear by it or at it, was clearly the game of the year, getting fatter by the second and breaking records each year.

I'll drink [poison] to that...

I like most of them. I don't think WoW was game of the year. The expansion was ok at best and then they had to do an XP shift to make it easier for players to level just to help make a reason for people to buy the expansion.

I think LOTRO would have been a better choice for MMO of the Year. They had a solid launch, 2 major content updates including housing (which is missing from WOW), and better story line.

I would have to agree with that.

I was pleasantly surprised to see EQ in there. It's nice to see they can still attract some attention. I have to agree on LotRO, even though I couldn't really get into it. They had a pretty good launch and all. At least someone got honorable mention for the big one.

uhm WoW as game of the year.... Do you even know what pay to play MMO means? i guess not if you knew you would not have chosen WoW as game of the year.

Meh WoW in 2007 was still 10 times as big as any other competitor , in 2008 with the lack of the 2nd expansion that'll surely change (or even with the 2nd expansion, if its just adding content and no new classes unlike the first)

Gooid choices imo, altough im more excited to see the ones from next year

I hate this award because i fined the most inticapated mmo just because it pushed back doesnt mean didly squat if you really like this game and you want it to come out good you will allow it to be dialed as many times as it wants for a game to come out good it needs time and they are working on i like the way this game looks and if you dont you suck ballhunkeys because this will kill wow this will be the best mmo and this will be the most inticapated game of the year if you have a problem come say to my face (the anitatipated award for warhammer)

You can always wait for the 2008 year awards ;)

Plus, we do need more serious competition on the fantasy MMO scene. Hopefully Warhammer can pull it's weight this year.
