    Lotro pounding Eve, thats surprising, dont get me wrong I voted for Lotro,  I think Eve is boring as heck. I always thought that Eve was the darling of the mmorpg.com community I am glad to find out that I am wrong

    I am Grandmaster player in TSW and early access-beta-whetever VR14-hardmode junkie in TESO.

    TSW wins as better, and one can see that devs put a lot more effort in the game per money units used. Really, all those bugs, invisible aoes and "Oh, it is a bug, we will fix it. Ouch, actually that is working as intended" TESO devs keep making are frustrating. Nice world, OK quests, good active combat, but nothing really new, tbh. TESO is fun MMO to spend time on, but if at some point some future game pulls me away, I will forget it soon enough. But unique atmosphere of TSW will keep luring me back again and again.

    I hope TSW wins, Funcom gets some more support and they can finally get more spare money to spend on TSW, finally boosting their devteams and getting back on promised update track that got derailed thanks to those wankers that were unable to read and think and failed The Kingsmouth Code mission during first hour of playing, and started blaming the game instead of understanding the idea behind investigation missions. I understand being cautious about Funcom after their past failures, but TSW turned out really awesome and is severy underestimated and unjustly criticized. Complex game, hardcore mechanics and really intellectually chellenging quests - and you even get a chance to stick your shotgun into Cthulhu's ass and pull the trigger!

    Oh, and coming up with fantasies like "Funcom sending letters to ask players to vote for them" is pathetic, and actually should be punished as slander.

    the tuvok thing wasn't as recognisable to me personally, i didnt notice until it was pointed out on the forums. on the other hand having your main story point of call being such a recognisable voice really threw me ^^.

    Lol, but Ann (Radcliffe, Tara Strong) is even asking back "Did you just dropped a Star Trek reference, sir?"

    Great scene :)

    EVE getting dismantled by LoTRO speaks volumes about the sad state of the average human mind.

    Roaming through Eriador, Bree-Town, Misty Mountains, Moria, Mirkwood, visit Rohan and Gondor, and in some time have the possibility to see minas tirith in loco? Go LOTRO :p

    all the hate is just "go team goooo" I vote for what I like and what I have blown alota cash on because its worth it to me. so to all the pissy haters -just shut up and play. ;)   

    Trashtalk is trashtalk, but some of this isn't just ignorance (no, LotRO isn't a WoW clone, they were in development at the same time - but one launches before the other so the other is the 'clone' - w/e). Some of it is lies, slander, mendacity, and poppycock. In other words, pure rot.

     

    "Oh noes, two of the games have cash shops! That's pure evil! The other two have mandatory subscriptions, so they're good games." << That's a load of hooey right there. Also ESO fans, hate to break it to you, but when your game is F2P in 6 months, they'll have to make money somehow. Guess what that means? Microtransactions. Unless they put the game into maintenance mode; maybe that would be acceptable to the "NO CASHSHOPS" crowd.

     

    And what sells well? P2W. And Lockbox keys, ofc. TSW's cash shop is not P2W (you can sure buy a lot of stuff, even gear, but if you think blues are winning over purps... nope, I got nothing) and TSW's Game Director has absolutely promised no lockboxes: "And I promise, no lockboxes" - JB, GD.

     

     

    I can just laugh at you.

    Each ESO update is getting bigger and bigger, update 6 will be as big as an expansion so yeah, go on troll as much as you want. 

    Also hate to tell you, but many haters predicted ESO to go F2P in less than 6 months, now we are getting close to 9 months and the game is just not slowing down. 2015 will be huge for ESO. We already have 1mil+ subs, and the console didn't even launch yet. I'd like to note reviews from launch are turning into very positive, again fail troll.

    I'm not hating, that's all in your head. I know nothing about any reviews from launch, and wasn't talking about the game. I'm talking about what happens when they launch for console. Maybe you think console players will pay a mandatory sub + whatever the console makers charge for licensing. I have my doubts. F2P is what happens when a game drops it's 6-month sub option. That's one less way for people to pay you, and zero reason for it, unless you're predicting those 6-month subs will want their money back. Given industry standard churn, dropping a long-term sub option for no reason is saying you don't like money, unless you're planning to drop the sub altogether.

    EVE and LotRO? Personally, I'd vote LotRO because I'm Fantasy geek. But EVE got my vote.

    Help me understand, that if you like LotRO better then EVE and you're a Fantasy Geek, then why not support it and vote for it ?

  • Greymantle4Greymantle4 Member UncommonPosts: 809

    I find it funny that LOTRO is doing so well when it can't crack the top 7 on voted games and top 10 in popular on this site.

    Out of the games that are left I would go with Eve over LOTRO and ESO over TSW which has the worst crafting in a MMO I have ever played. LOTRO has to much focus on their store for my taste. If we could rate LOTRO based on Moria expansion and before it would get my vote.

    The Secret World is far and away the best MMO on the market right now.  Rock on TSW!

    Social media campaign? It's just 2 freaking threads in forums about the game.

    Your comment is much more sad.

    Is it really required to accuse other communities of bot using or spamcreating accounts each round? o_ô

    Just vote for your game and call it a day, no need to insult or flame other people >_>

    No.  mmorpg.com is paying him to help with the Christmas 2014 membership drive... much better conspiracy theory than yours.

    What TSW does best certainly is done well. Amazing story and atmosphere and very good acting and cutscenes. 

     

    As an mmo in general it is flat out inferior to ESO. If ESO's story and voice acting pulled you in like TSW there would be ZERO comparison. ESO has superior crafting, economy, combat and world worth exploring (and I use this lightly as both games are too linear for exploration to count much). ESO also has more content coming and faster and that content advances game play further. ESO also has more player and chance for future player base increase.

     

    TSW is a gem in many areas but simply will never gain the player base to compete with the big boys and there are reasons worth exploring as to why this is. More players will vote here out of passion for TSW and against ESO due to launch history (and less about recent facts).

    You stay sassy!

    Voted for LOTRO and TSW.  Played both EVE and TESo but they failed to enchant me.

     

    TSW is light speed ahead of ESO... my opinion of course...

     

    Still for me the clear Winner is my beloved SWTOR. Damn you GW2 fanboys and fangirlsimage

    Yeah, but have you tweeted about it yet? I must be sad or desperate or willingly participating in the conspiracy to artificially inflate MMORPG's member numbers.
