This will ruffle some feathers. The staff at MMORPG.com, from President Craig McGregor and CTO Ben Krueger, to our wonderful list of reviewers, columnists, and community managers, all the way down to your humble and lowly Managing Editor (me) have voted. We took the top player-rated games from our Game List, including those that have been closed after launch, and we ranked them.

Read the full story here

    Oh dear some of the most innovative MMOs have only made the last five. So I will predict the top ten, all big sellers, big population. Big numbers means they must be the best. :D

    @Howry I apologize for making no sense, I forgot that Vangaurd was already on the list. I thought @Grakulen was upset it wasn't on the list. Once again I am sorry for the confusion that I have made to any and all.

    Aww, honestly got a little sad that Shadowbane didn't place better. When the servers actually worked, that game was fun.  Oh well, here's hoping DAoC gets put in week 3. haha

    As far as the "best" goes, MMORPG.com has not defined what the criteria was. I'm reading this under the assumption that "best" means "personal favorite" for this list.

    LOL Vanguard? That was one of the biggest failures of all time. It was released in a complete state of disaster as an obvious cash grab by SoE and that scam artist McQuaid. That was a master class on what not to do as far as MMO development. Vanguard was a big part of the reason why SoE is no longer in existence. RIP

    What should they use to measure it? Forum comments? Somehow measure emo feelings? I am serious about this.

    Kyleran:  "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

    LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"

    I'm not sure we are thinking of the same game.

    This article is the definition of click bait.

    FFXIV will def make top 10 IMO. I keep my sub going. It's such a well-done MMO experience.
    Please come check out my stream. All the love is appreciated!

    It'd be more bait if we titled it... "We ranked the top 35 MMOs of all time and you WON'T BELIEVE WHAT'S NUMBER 1!"

    Nah, I'm sure there won't be any games I play in those places, quite the opposite. TSW got pretty far before, but that was open click-vote with spammers and protest-voters against other games. This time it's a much smaller group voted :wink: 
    So my guess for the top 5: Wow, Gw2, Eso, Marvel herpes (<- MikeB), and some other one I'd not poke, like Tera or the first Gw or Eq :lol:

    Vanguard had the team, and it had the budget. What it didn't have was the leadership.
