MMORPGs come in
different sizes, have different price models, show
different styles of graphics, and offer a plethora
of different game play features. You can try to
play them all, but you better have a huge wallet
and no other life before attempting that. That
said, you are better off picking among only the
best and, if possible, just one game to play at a
time. Which MMORPG do you think is better than all
others?
Finding The
Answer
In a quest to get
that answer, GameOgre.com will have 16 of the top
MMORPGs square off against each other in battles
to the death in order to determine the MMORPG
champ. The winning MMORPG will also be the MMORPG of the Year at GameOgre.com's 2006 Online
Game Awards. Keep in mind that World of Warcraft
has won Best MMORPG at the 2004
Online Game Awards and 2005
Online Game Awards. Since the goal is to
find only one winner, Free MMORPGs and Pay-to-Play
MMORPGs will be able to go head-to-head with each
other.
The Rules
Each week, two
MMORPGs will face each other until only one is
left. You will be able to vote and leave comments
for each game on special pages solely dedicated to
this tournament. For example, you can leave a 10
for the game you love and then a 0 for the game
you hate. This is a battle after all! The game
with the highest total score at the end of each
week (Saturday morning at 12:01 A.M. CST) will
move on. Comments that capture the spirit of
the battle without bad language and overuse of
caps will be displayed in the results article at
the end of the week.
