I knew I said I would append the previous game of the year thread, but since MMORPGs really feel different I felt I would do an independent post for this news. MMORPG.COM has posted two seperate news articles about games of the year - the first is a Reader's Choice award and the other is thier editorial awards. Both are very interesting given the responses are not what I expected.
The Reader's Choice awards was suprising in that EVE Online won many of the awards here. This game looks fantastic and might be worth a look. On the other end of the spectrum, the Editoral Awards leaned more towards Cryptic Studios and City of Heroes/Villians. Either way, there are some great lists there and well worth checking out.

Eve does look great in game. But from what I've heard, it's not newbie friendly, especially outside of the newb zones where PvP run rampant. Also, if you aren't part of a Corporation (guild) you are operating at a disadvantage. Another thing, there is only one server where everybody plays so being low man on the totem pole could suck rocks...

So a bunch of raid EVE Online fans stuffed the ballot box? I'm not sure what that means.
On the other hand, I've read some great stories about EVE Online and all the player-generated content through vendettas and backstabbing.
