Flame bait poll. Haters will always vote more than people who actually play the games.
MMORPG forums is just a haters lair.
So people are voting just to hate then, not possible people just didn't like a game at all eh? Just cause people don't follow your opinion doesn't mean they are wrong. There are plenty of bad games I am guilty of enjoying that I can easily rip a new one for being so terrible.
Negative polls are always flamebaits.

2012 is the worst year for mmorpg world because all these new games (patches) suck !! (I think)
I know Most of these games just SUCK! but pick one
1. The poll is flawed because it does not include ALL MMOs released in 2012 (f2p, b2p, subs, browser)
2. It appears that no one could play all the games listed in the poll for a sufficient time to determine whether or not they are the "worst" of 2012.
3. There are no selections for "none of the above" nor "other, please specify."
4. If you think TSW belongs on any "worst" list, then i must assume that the poll creator is goofy.
TSW does belong on the list....It didn't even meet half of what its own company expected and has pretty much put them up for sale.....Add in lousy combat, animations, little or no multiplayer, and horrific PVP and you have a strong candidate for worst game of 2012.
Do you own the game or played it? If not then stop typing.. I don't even play the game anymore and I can tell you that you're wrong. Just like I don't play Rift anymore but will correct anyone claiming that it's bad.

I Agree, TSW does not belong on any worse lists. The people that list it as such, have obviously never even played the game.
Well last I read a few months ago, Funcom was reporting low sales for TSW and the retention rate wasn't that impressive either. So, apparently *somebody* out there didn't like it.
I didn't think it was the worst game (certainly not the best either), but since everyones different in their opinions, it should still be present, even if nothing more than as a baseline. The poll includes mainstream pop-culture games in any event, so there's another reason to include it for ya.

It's widely known and accepted that TSW didn't get much exposure or advertisement, that's the main reason for it's low sales. The retention rate was actually very good in comparison to other MMOs. Hell, I don't even play the game anymore but admit to it being a good game, just like I admit to AOC being an amazing game now, but Funcom took too long to fix it.

Press B for puzzle clues Funcom couldn't be arsed to include in game, but be careful not to click on spoiler heavy walkthroughs in the results.
[mod edit]
I must have missed the textbooks on music lying around in the instance I was in. I also must have missed the biblical passages in the game I needed. I probably didn't have the intellect to find the morse code explanation chart just lying around.
Or did you mean read up on history through googling appropriate related terms? Which is what the quest text said to do and I did, but results for spoilers were all over the page?
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
Well I did vote SWTOR even though I am playing and enjoying the game. But I had to answer OP's question honostly and I did as I do feel that SWtOR truly fails at being a MMORPG atleast in the way I invision a MMORPG. The part as to why I am playing and enjoying it is that it's a good "GAME", fun with some co-op action. But I am only playing the story lines and side quests because for the most part with the side quest they keep me in the gameworld. The story line to evolve needs to be instanced as you simply can't have this type of story telling without it, but at the same time it does make the game feel less MMORPG to me.
Guildwars2, absolute no experiance playing the game, allot of things seem very intresting to me, yet it doesn't spike my MMORPG intrest......perhaps I am somewhat done.....for now....with fantasy based MMORPG's.
WOW MoP, same as GW2 no experiance other then having played WoW till BC yet never returned.
Tera.....well just wasn't my type of MMORPG so unable to state it as worst MMORPG as I didn't spend time enough with it.
Rift...same as Tera.....
Diablo3??? hmm Not even a MMO so doesn't fit this list.
PlanetSide 2 it does what it should do as a MMOFPS, still doesn't belong in a MMORPG listing
The Secret World not really sure what is holding me back at trying the game....perhaps it's all these other games I still need to finish (singleplayer/multiplayer games)

Have you heard of the term "Fiscal Year"?
Which fiscal year covered both SW:TOR and Rift:Storm Legion?

Look, he isnt wrong. I like tsw, i plan on getting it since it ie going b2p now. However, he isnt wrong in that the general gaming population deemed it unworthy (it only got 200000 sales) and it failed. So obviously, there was something wrong with its implementation. It is completely justified to be on here.

Still 2011

FYI D3 isn't a MMO
This is some really twisted logic to bash SWTOR.
'A game released in 2011 is released in Q4 2011 and therefore can be said to have been released in 2012!'
lolwut?
2011 = / = 2012
Thankfully I haven't played an MMO I didn't enjoy in 2012 so this year was an awesome year for me.
Gdemami -
Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
Have you heard of the term "Fiscal Year"?
2012 was clearly a fantastic year for MMORPGs, since the poll results are being dominated by a game that was released in 2011.
Q4 2011, the clue is in the year.
As for release it was in December 2011.

I hate RIFT but wont vote for it since Ive heard expansion changed alot.
SWToR is second obv pick. Huge letdown from Beoware.
But I voted for Planetside 2. Played it for 30 minutes. Deleted and never will look at it again
