Battle of The Year 2004
Awards

We welcome you to the first annual Massive Multiplayer Hell Awards. At the end of every year from today on, we will be running a "Battle of The Year" in which you, the readers, decide on some of the awards.

Some awards are honorary, obvious, or simply had no concurrence. Most of them however have a lot of competitors, and we want you to vote on your favorite. Here is how it works:

We will run 10 polls until the middle December, and two final polls starting in December. The first 10 will be polls on 10 different awards, and the final one will be a poll between all awarded games for the title "Best Massive Multiplayer Game of 2004" and of course "Most Anticipated Massive Multiplayer Game 2004".

And to cut right to it, here are the contestants:

Note: Categories that are not about expansion carry the original game title, this includes all expansions released. Best Science-Fiction for example has Anarchy Online on the list, where you vote on Anarchy Online and all expansions of it (Notum Wars, Shadowlands, Alien Invasion), not the original game.

We pre-selected, roughly. This means that games who have either not undergone any real development, or will obviously drown in their category against the competition, have been removed. If you feel that this was unjustified, and that a certain game should be in one of the categories, mail us and state your point, we will then consider purging all current votes and put the game on the poll.

Update (15/10): We added Planetside and Neocron 2 to the Player vs. Player category. Since we were originally aiming to have a FPS poll, but didn't really classify NC2 as a pure FPS, and would've had only PS and NC2 in it, we decided that it is indeed right to let them compete in the Player vs. Player poll as well. We have also added all Space Simulation games to the Science-Fiction poll by readers request.

If you have voted on any of these polls, and you wish your vote to be removed in favor of another game, mail awards@mmhell.com with your username and the poll name, and we will remove your vote. This only goes for the two changed polls, and for people who have logged in.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
