Wow....the spreadsheet with screensaver game won...
Congrats CCP. Your game is garbage but good job impressing the loudest voices here.
EVE is one of the most successful mmorpgs in the west. It's also the best game that many of us have had the pleasure of enjoying within the genre.
Sorry the game somehow burned you in the wrong way, but if you care about this genre, you wouldn't be labelling great games as "garbage". You don't have to like it to appreciate or respect it.
this is a classic example of a delusional fanboi. AS A) Eve is NOT very sucessful at ALL b) its one of the WORST games most of us have played and C) he can label games what ever the hell he likes as D) It will have NO effect on the genre WHAT SO EVER. Why on earth would/should you respect/appreciate something thats a POS. Oh and before you start I played eve twice for about 3/4 months each time before I got bored and quit or some bored trillionare thought it would be fun to gank me every time i left a space staion.
I guessd this award would be won by eve EVERY year eve and wow HAVE to win an award on this site. No matter if they have done NOTHING to deserve it. Which they never have.

It's hilarious that the game which induces the most heated debate any time it's even mentioned, and has so many sad-@$$ ex-players who can't resist crawling out from under their bridge to e-rage and spew their 5 year-old vitriol about being slighted, still made the top five. It's even more amusing that other that four of the top five games are older than than nearly all of the 15 that they beat out.
EvE is the only MMO I've continuously subscribed to over the past 4~5 years. Even though I actually suck at the low-sec PvP stuff the game has a certain 'je ne sais quoi' about it that keeps me playing. Call it masochism if you will but EvE simply rocks.
Oh Boy! The game that takes the least amount of effort to play won. People complain how MMOs are being dumbed down and yet the game that most playing happens offline takes first. Lol very sad indeed.
Um... how did Star Wars Galaxies end up in fifth place? Is there resurgence in this title? I was under the impression that the game has been slowly dying ever since the NGE surprise switcheroo years ago. I thought it was down in population to the point where it's expected to be cancelled.
I'm really curious to hear from those that know more about it than I. Where is this love coming from, and should I direct my attention back to this title again?
Someone probably wrote a bot to help automate voting.
You don't actually "play" SWG -- you bot up your levels, pets, bot for currency, rare drops, etc...
Once you 've botted up enough then you look at perhaps logging in occasionally to mess around with the PvP but there are some decent bots to help with that these days - if you need them.
I never played it back with NGE. I tried it about a year or so ago and found out about all the bots available from their forums. IMO - not worth playing a game that you just fire up bots but there are a lot of folks that enjoy the automation.
Imho Eve have had a fairly poor year and only started to get back on track during the end of the year. In particular plantary interaction is plain awful and despite coming improvements, I dont see this feature ever reaching its potential.
None the less I agree that it is still the best game, but they need to do better than 2010 if they wish to keep that position. And with 2011 being the year that they'll likely start with microtransactions; I have my doubts.

Whilst still slowly dieing it is still a decent game at its heart.
There is one massiveley overpopulated server Starsider and a couple of US that are still helthy both EU servers are still healthy.
Theres quite simply put no other star wars game, no game that offers the same social tools and the game has a wealth of end game content in one form or another.
I no longer actively sub rid myself of it after 7 years in October or so but i certainly wouldnt tell anybody not to try it.
Unfortunately SWG is a game that very much begins at 90 and TBH getting there is boring and frustrating so a new player will likeley not get into it if your a returning vet who hasnt played in quite some time I would say go for it and if your lucky enough to not be on a server thats a ghost town you may just enjoy it.
WoW has millions of satifisfied players but of course on MMORPG Eve-online wins out when it only has 200k players after 8 years. I bet the vote was skewed with multiple accounts. Spreadsheet mining in space. EVE is the biggest scam in MMOs. You don't even need to play to get your player better but it takes 1-2 years to even start really playing. The game is full of elitist idiots. I would not take this "award" seriously.
If you are looking for a mind numbingly boring game where it takes forever to get in a correct fighting ship (6-12 months), memorize tons of nonsensical game terminology and then get griefed by 5-7 year-old players go ahead and subscribe. PVP goes like this: you get a friend or 2 and find a fight and then get jumped by 20 guys or so in most cases you will get raped 20 to 1. 20-30 minutes to travel anywhere too. Many weeks to save up enough money to buy a ship and weapons. Don't let the fanboys tell you otherwise. There's a reason why subscription is so low in the game. Pirate camps consist of 5-30 people sitting on a gate waiting to kill newbies by players with 3-7 years of gear and experience, if you show up with a large gang they hide. OVERRATED.

Nice I think you got nearly every popular EVE troll in 2 paragraphs. However you missed out the mandatory "CCP sell ISK" one, so you dont get a prize.

Ok so you post fake numbers which are completely false and you cant even get the right sub numbers. Yes your opinion counts!
EVE had surpassed 200,000 (active) subs in 2007.
Opinions coming from people like that are only valid if they have a fully functioning time machine.

So SWG got 5th? That is funny considering how there is a forum devoted to burned vets on this board. I would have thought CoH would have rated higher than it did. On this site, however, I have heard the bemoans of how out of date or tired players have been. I still find both of these games interesting for what they are. SWG still has a hint of its old sandbox which probably helps its rating. Very facinating poll.
Wow that just shows how pathetic online gameig was in 2010.
Since every game on the MMORPG site was available, who won the award had nothing to do with the dearth of new abd failed games of 2010.
WOW and its legion of several million subscribers was avilable. All of the F2P titles were available. I think the win says more about how good and complete a game EVE is and how well it sits in its niche rather than how weak 2010 was for new games.
Umm, it was a poll, on the internet.
'Nuff said.
Gratz to the playerbase mobilizers!
Yeah just like ANY game could have done that ... Gratz CCP
I started playing Eve this year and I have terribly mixed feelings about it. It's wonderfully constructed - the richness of the economy, the scale of the world(s), the number of directions they can take it and I'm greatly enjoying slowly exploring its complexity and politics. But I'm worried that I'm the wrong kind of person to be playing it: I'm a hardcore non-PvP gamer. I feel afraid to get actively involved in the community, to say a peep in the forums for fear that my every idea, my every opion, will be nudging the game away from ideals of its core players. So it may eventually be the first game I quit because I don't want to break it.
Why is it popular? Because every site on the interenet is spammed with "Play eve for 14 days FREE!!" Banners and in theory it's an awesome game. "Go where you want, do what you want. Level up while offline!!" Sounds awesome right? Well much like communism the difference between being awesome in theory and being awesome in practic are 2 completely different things.
This site is a haven for EVE fanbois so it should be no surprise that it won.. again. If this were any other gaming site WOW would have won, you know it, I know it.
The fact that EVE won again should show the credibility of the reviews and 'top games' features of this site.
"We have barred the gates, but can not hold them for long... They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall... We can not get out. The end comes. Drums, drums in the deep. They are coming..."

EvE community by its nature is an aggressive community. Its vital to play EvE but that isnt to say it isn't a good game. It doesn give them an invisible edege. Coming here to vote EvE up isnt hard. It isnt for most people. Far too much of a pissing contest and that's not what the average person looks for to relax.
Gratz, CCP. I know you guys work hard on that game. If I go by the trailers, you want to take it beyond the build a bigger blob, destiny the forced PvP is taking it. Good luck in that venture. If it isnt the venture you have in mind, it was still fun and TY.

Wow it's easy to tell you never played Eve for more than five minutes :-D
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
