MMORPG.com’s Best of 2018 Awards - MMORPG.com
The new year is upon us, and that can only mean one thing. Time for us to look back at the year that was while bracing for the year ahead and recount the best (and worst) games we played during the last twelve months. The entire writing staff of MMORPG.com was polled for this year’s awards, and each game that won had a majority vote in its favor.
Comments
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
Least Anticipated Game - Diablo Immortal
Now the awards are complete.

My son, now finally game-age, would LOVE Marvel Heroes. He's 5, so just running around punching guys with Spider-Man, Hulk, etc would have been his everything. Sucks that he cannot. Maybe when Ultimate Alliance 3 comes out.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
My Review Manifesto
Follow me on Twitter if you dare.
As for the same community I have heard of no one talking about the Division but a lot are planning to play Anthem ( as will I if the demo/beta turns out to be any good ) . I have heard nothing but good things about the new Assassin Creed game and will certainly play it when its on sale sometime . Never played Path of Exile and don't know any that play it , sounds interesting .
Of the mmos that are likely to have a proper release ( ie not early access release ) Torchlight does sound promising , Maybe City of Titans will make it to release this year too ? Most of the others in development that I am interested in look like they will get a 2020 release at the earliest .
I like Elder Scrolls Online but the questing is far too easy for me which is the reason I only play the base game and get access to the DLC's when they are free for a week .

Oh wait, no phones in here.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
BLESS was always going to be mediocre, at best.. and hardly anyone was interested in it anyway.
There was a good number of players that actually enjoyed it.
It's hard to keep returning players around for long when it's a game as old as WoW. About a month after going back, my old boredom returned and I cancelled my sub again. I did like BfA, but it was just more of the same at the end of the day.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

It would seem almost logical to include that category here, must still be smarting too much from the Diablo fiasco.

Major flop for me. I was revved for it, returned early to prepare for it, was super excited on launch day.. and got punched in the goolies.
Bless shouldnt have been a disappointment, it was clearly dead on arrival if any one paid attention to their history. It should win a category for fulfilling its destiny to a T.
It was like a fat chick who cant find love in a fat-chick loving country, so they change the fat chick's clothes and do a new hairstyle and then she goes to a skinny loving country and surprise-surprise, she cant find love either. Bloody shocking.
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
Same with the other two which I avoided , I knew what they were and avoided any aggravation.
EVE was my biggest disappointment this year, I resubbed 3 accounts for 3 months but couldn't find enough new of interest to stay with it and let them all lapse once again.
