It is time to kick off GameOgre.com’s annual MMO Showdown. This is where 16 games battle it out in a tournament to determine the best overall MMO. This event started out as just MMORPGs, but has since grew to accept other online game categories such as sandbox and MOBA. In fact, a MOBA won the tournament last year for the first time as League of Legends had a great championship match against runner-up World of Tanks.

There are even more non-MMORPGs in the field this year as players are looking for more than the standard free MMORPG model that became so saturated and bloated for years. Instead, the MMO industry is spinning out more niches and, in some cases, niches of niches. For example, there is now a survival sand box category in addition to regular sandbox games. Yes, both of these categories are represented in the tournament.

Who will win this year? This is the question we ask every year to our community members. The member that guesses the winners the closest at https://www.gameogre.com/forums/threads/mmo-showdown-predictions-2015.59710/ gets $10 worth of games or a card.
