A German guy had already posted that site on a discussion I had over in the German forums about the mmorpg.com contest. So I was already running it through google translate. So not a perfect translation but good enough.

Edit: The guys name was @Kwengie‌

Yeah I remember that. Though their official winner was "Nothing". Still we were 2nd behind "Nothing".

Great! That should fix all bugs and improve performance.

@jefreahard: The Elder Scrolls Online. It took me a while to get over the fact that ZeniMax wasn't making a sandbox. Once I did and was able to approach the game on its own terms, I found a very solid AAA themepark with gorgeous production design and one of the larger and more immersive game worlds that I've experienced in recent years. The IP helps since I'm a huge fan, but there are also some neat systems in ESO, with more on the way like that spiffy PvP-guards-vs.-thieves thing.

ESO also had one of the more stable MMO launches I've seen (which is basically all of them dating back to 2001). Yeah, there was that one day during the pre-order headstart when the servers went kaput for 12 hours, but apart from that, the downtime was minimal, and the game was playable from the get-go.

If not nothing, then definitely ESO.

The whole site was very harsh to ESO. Some reasons were just plain dumb.
Comment section was / is also horrible.

@MikedotFoster/blog: "Elder Scrolls Online, which... oh yeah, that game exists."

I mean seriously? Yes Mike ESO exists and is growing well.


The results though, for anyone interested:

The Elder Scrolls Online - 752 (21.8%)

WildStar - 268 (7.8%)

Elite: Dangerous - 240 (7.0%)

ArcheAge - 196 (5.7%)

Something else - 142 (4.1%)

Destiny - 112 (3.2%)

Firefall - 48 (1.4%)

Swordsman - 13 (0.4%)

The Crew - 17 (0.5%)


As you can see ESO beat the competitors by a big margin.

Cool! I think this bodes well for the future of ESO

ESO seems to be emerging as a well kept secret.

ESO deserved to be number 1. I was happy to see it won, but not at all surprised.

ESO is an amazing game.
