    I almost voted Archeage, and then I remembered..

    Despite all the cash shop hate, I have learned to play all these games and appreciate what I get to play for free. I think if you can just look at the games purely from an "as a game" viewpoint, ArcheAge should win best newcomer hands down. It's the only game that has potential to build community like mmorpgers that have experienced what community feels like in game expect. ArcheAge has the balance between traditional mmorpg and sandbox and pve and pvp. The other games look like a list of been there done that outside of Trove, the problem with Trove is it's just blocks.

    After viewing the "Best" veteran and "Best" new MMO categories, I wonder why I'm so depressed and STILL playing FireFall after 2 years.

    Why isn't ESO's Update 5 on it? It'd make much more sense than Update 3...

    Otherwise, you just can't argue that ESO was 2014's best MMO. Even though its launch was pretty rocky, it's shaping up to become one of the best MMOs on the market, especially with Update 6 on the horizon, which some actually consider an expansion, since it's about the same size as a typical WoW Expansion, with over 23,000 words in its still-in-progress patch notes. Not to mention the HUGE gameplay overhaul it's bringing.

    Picked ESO even though I played AA and Wildstar a lot more. Those games crashed and burned whereas ESO started off as a major let-down but has slowly improved.

    Didn't we already do this? Really milking the poll thing to get hits, aren't we...

    I really don't understand why Guild Wars 2 is not on the list for "The Best Veteran MMO of 2014"

    Is it an error?

    Rift, The Secret World, and love it or hate it wildstar brought new things for an mmo.

    I'm either blind or the Shadow of Revan expansion for SWTOR didn't make the list.

    Didn't see STO: Delta Alliance on for update.

    WoD is better than ESO update 3, imho.  It brought much needed change to the game.  I love the garrisons, even if it takes all day to do it on all my characters lol.  It's a million times better than MoP daily quest grind.

    WoW is still the best MMO, but ESO is starting to catch up in my mind.  I play them both right now.  People are saying the MMO genre is dead or dying.  As long as WoW and ESO are around, I've never felt better.  I miss DAoC and FFXI, but there is no MMO that can match WoW's playerbase or ESO's immersiveness.

    ESO Update 6 or 7 will be best in 2015, guaranteed.

    SWTOR is now classed as a veteran MMO? Wasn't it a newbie in the MMO face off?

     

    EDIT: Right, I get it. It wasn't released in 2014.

    Another poll. Why.
  • BillMurphyBillMurphy Former Managing EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 4,565

    GW2 isn't quite a vet in our eyes yet, but it'll be on next year.

    As for SWTOR, I added it.  Very minimal votes so far, so I apologize for that error, but there's plenty of time.

    Seems like the best new MMO category becomes more of a "Pick the shiniest turd" contest with each passing year. It's very sad what this genre has become.

    ESO will destroy all categories it is in because it is by far the BEST MMORPG since WoW.

    I think it just highlighted how bad a year it was for New MMO's, rife with disappointment. About the only game that released in 2014 that i can honestly say was worth buying, was probably Elite:Dangerous, lets hope 2015 is a better year.
