Yes, we certainly did. Already asked the Art Guru to go swap it.
It's more my fault for swapping the order in the article base, but I don't want to screw up the polls so I'll let him fix it.
Voting can still continue though!

ESO ahead of TSW? Best joke of the year
TSW > ESO soooo hard.
I disagree.
I agree 100%
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Exactly, ESO is sooo lame compared to TSW. TSW even made better cinematics and voice acting with 1/3 of that budget of ESO.
Gogo TSW!
I write since the start that I expect my games to fall out, and for some strange reason they're still here... both LotRO and TSW are way too good games for getting this far
but now, now is the time for me repeating it on a certainty: "I'd be surprised if my games survive this round". (I mean, if you shoot around randomly, even then you hit sometimes, right? can't believe I was failed at guessing all along the way...)
It's an easy bet this time I guess, ESO is worse than Skyrim (which was the weakest in the ES line, and with it the most popular) so it will grab lots of votes, and EVE users are gained during these years a well-built routine for working with a truckload of alts
Time to bring home the gold.
TSW ftw!
Also we are having the christmas events going untill Jan 5th. You know you want to come kill some Krampuses and giant horned devilwomen!
"You could call it a psychotic experience, but she was very happy about it," van Os said. "There isn't always a need for care when there's an instance of psychosis."
um both games have the best lore and written content in a ny current mmo , so i dont see it as a joke. and i defenately see TSW the champ!
Personal preferences? ESO is a better feature-complete MMO, while TSW has the better story and cinematics. But in terms of better MMORPG, I'd give it to ESO.
EVE and LotRO? Personally, I'd vote LotRO because I'm Fantasy geek. But EVE got my vote.

Don't be silly. ESO may be more popular, because it is a well known franchise. But TSW's quality of content is MILES ahead of ESO.
"Voting against the popular games"
The MMORPG has never done that, Its only 3 weeks ago ppl were still having their WoD Honeymoon period. If this competition had been held back there (and I mean the whole competition), then WoW would have won.
Most people havent heard of TSW? Are you new on this forum, TSW and Eve are forum darlings because they are so good at what they do. Its exactly on forums like mmorpg.com that people know what TSW is.
Also, remember that the quantity of players playing a game says 0 about its quality. Or maybe you believe WoW is better than ESO? Hey, its your logic man, but I must disagree with that statement you silly WoW-fanboy
rpg/mmorg history: Dun Darach>Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW > oblivion > LOTR > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(1000 elementalist), Wildstar

That is a whole lot of opinion.
"...they are just voting against the most popular games."
huh. just, huh. When I was younger, my mom told me,
"They are just picking on you because they are jealous."
Sounds alot the same. To this day I'm certain people everywhere are jealous of my red bowtie with white polka dots.
I picked TSW and LotRO because they are the games I would recommend to friends. There's no reason to "not like" ESO or EVE, so it's not like one sucks hard donkey hoof and the other inspires angels to heavenly chorus. It's just one of those choices we make in life.
awesome two main mmorpg's in semi finale ;EVE & TSW !
but anyway ,i think this year voting is joke ,wrong concept
TSW's devs are getting involved in the voting and promoting it (This is confirmed). Isn't this against the MMORPG.com rules? In contests devs aren't allowed to vote in or actively promote their game.
What? There is ONE single thread about it in the whole forum, and 1 DEV made 1 single post. I wonder how many do you have in ESO's forum...
It wasn't a dev, just the community manager (unless I completely missed something). He was just supporting the community as is his job and gave an announcement that this vote is taking place. He isn't involved in development (though we still blame him for everything anyway!)
I received no such email. I do have a 30 day buddy key. If you stop lying, you can be my buddy, k?
