The MMORPG 2008 Readers’ Choice Awards! Favorite MMO Studio

[Tarrant]

We’ve been nominated for Favorite MMO Studio! We’re up against some stiff competition, but we know our community is second to none when it comes to getting out the vote. So fire up your friends, your guild, and your pet Gelatinous Cube and get them all voting (http://www.mmorpg.com/showFeature.cfm?bhcp=1&loadfeature=2488)!

[Vahyor]

your kinship

I believe we call those things guilds here :)

[snip]... Your Kinship... [snip]

Heheh.

[Tarrant]

Apparently, my body contains an excess of tryptophan leftover from the holiday.

Fixed, thanks. :p

Another Cut & Paste from LoTRO... nice going Tarrant.

I don't know why these things irk me, but they do. Can we not be treated as our own game? Does Tarrant not proof read his posts? Is Turbine really that much more proud of LoTRO than DDO?
You may have lost my vote if you cannot distinguish your DDO fanbase from your LoTRO fanbase.

Doh!

I wouldn't think it's a direct cut and paste, with the pet gelatinous cube and all.

This didn't even hit the Asheron's Call forum. Apparently, they don't think enough people play that game to matter.

I plan to vote on this.

Also, just wanted to show a small line at the bottom of that webpage under the description of Turbine.

"The Mines of Moria expansion aims to improve upon the gameplay experience and add to the story of the company’s flagship game." It would be nice if WE were the flagship game of Turbine.....*Sighs*

[Paragon]

Voted. Did anyone else look at the replies to their poll in the MMORPG forums? About 90% of them said turbine!

[Valdieron]

Seriously, sorry but i'm not going to vote for you when you say your flagship is LoTR.... :P

Flagships are always targeted first in a battle so I dont want to be on a flagship. Put me on the more nimble destroyer or on the submarine that will sink the flagship :). Although until we stop firing NERF weapons at our enemy we wont be sinking anything.

[Solmage]

Shrug, LotR has a lot more customers, so it's a flagship, that does not mean DDO isn't important. I voted because of all the amazing work and effort and dedication their DDO team gives us, and how they still visit the forums in spite of the fact that many people seem to be just itching to find ANY possible fault, real or imagined, to blame them for the most ludicrous things.

If it were me, I'd have either closed the forums, created some invitation only 'sane-normal-people-without-deep-rooted-emotional-problems-only' boards, or added half the population on squelch.

[Qzipoun]

DDO is definitely my favorite game out there, but favorite studio? ... Sorry :(

[KoboldKiller]

Are we a bit touchy today people? Geeze.:D

[Josh]

Voted....for CCP!

[Isssssa]

You don't raise taxes on an election year...nor do you close the shroud on when you want people to vote for you.

[Mindspat]

Voted....for CCP!

Even though I posted the same "reader poll" link in the general forums not realizing this thread was created, I also voted for CCP. :D

[Mhykke]

Someone's not angling for a vote......

[Elaril]

Someone's not angling for a vote......

Ooh, Ooh, can I have a guess?

I guess that someone is.....Turbine

[GreenGurgler]

LOL, your funny Turbine!!!

You dont really make games for profit, your secretly a government organization setup to test out theories on human behavior like how many times can you kick someone before they walk away? Or what if you kick them, hand them a sucker and they apologize, then kick em again... see how long it takes em to walk away.

I thought about voting for this until I saw this :

Shroud Temporarily Closed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Shroud raid has been temporarily closed due to widespread griefing of players by other players using a game exploit, and it has become broad, impacting too many users’ game play. The issue will be fixed and the quest will be reopened in the next game patch.

HA, your funny.. thats the craziest way I'v ever seen to get votes..lol ;)

[Elation]

Can't vote when you shut down your best and most fun quest

[Boldrin]

You stole the Shroud, how can I support anyone who takes my favorite quest from me.

When I finish my auto-voting script it will make up for all the cry babies who don't vote for Turbine and can't live a week without a quest.

They are fixing an exploit they let go live. Give them a friggin break you babies. I will admit it was not good timing but cmon you guys can sure whine, you would make a 5yr old proud.

I am glad I didnt post on the forums much at game launch when they had to shut down Redwillow and Tempest Spine. How many of you babies were even playing this game then? If most of you why didnt you leave then when TS was the only raid we had.

I have not been singing Turbine praises as of late myself so I understand its just some people see one complain and jump on a bandwagon.

[Gordo]

Could this be more ironic?

You s*crew 99% of your fan base by shutting the shroud down because of a few morons and we should vote for you?

You guys should be embarrassed to ask us to vote right now when your decision was not well thought out.

Man... You are sooooooo screwed. One quest shut down for one week. That is just horrible. :rolleyes:

The real problem.

[deathtouch]

Is there somewhere I can vote that turbine get failed promises of the year award?

You fail turbine!

[Rickpa]

As disappointing as DDO has been this past year, it is still the best thing out there. I gave Turbine my vote, because I want them to succeed.

Lynch 'em!!!

LYNCH 'EM!!!!!!!!!!

Someone pass me my pitchfork.........
