Gratz COH staff!

I love this game and I like seeing you guys get awards for all the hard work you put in.

This month the staff got shinies. Next month we get shinies. It's win, win in my book.

Take Care

You make jokes!

Gratz to the team! Now let's keep it at the top with a load of content this year, eh?

Best Scifi? Does this mean we finally get the moon base missions? And more Ralaruu threatening to eat reality? Oh, and do we we get new cosmic storylines like they do with Guardians of the Galaxy and the Silver Surfer? Cause I know Annihilus and Thanos will be back looking for a new universe to torment.

Really? Then tells us, O Grand Poobah of All, what does science fiction have in it?

Actually, she's right. Here's some perfect examples: The invisible man, Frankenstein, King Kong, Godzilla (the ones without space travel), etc...

What would be really nice is if the win came with a free page of advertising IN Beckett (sp). Mad grats to all involved. Did they send a trophy or something?

And how the heck did DDO do so well in the contest? That game is failure on toast.
DDO has become somewhat of the poster child for what a free-to-play transition can do for a game. After the transition and some changes, the game has once again become fairly popular and fun again. Not a huge fan of microtransactions, but there's no denying that they will be (and are even in this game) a huge part of future MMOs.

While not exaclty what you were asking for, these kinds of awards are free advertising for readers of those mags. not only are they reminded that coh still is around, but that it is still winning awards, even against a game that many seemed to think would be its successor. a page ad is nice, but i can see the benefits of getting the game's quality blurted by the fans, and not a marketing slogan. anyone can claim to be awesome, it helps to be called it.

Next year, CoH:GR needs to take the Best new Expansion pack category . Of course with Cataclysm coming out the odds probably aren't great /

Ah well, I guess free=good nowadays.
DDO is using the 3.5 version rulebook and some the rules have been updated with the 4.0 rulebook. It is a very fun game and I plan to be buying the one year sub for it soon.

(On Topic) Grats to Paragon Studios! Looking forward to what you will be adding to the game this year. I know I will be playing a lot when Demon Summoning comes out. I am enjoying the new Dual Pistols, now I can finally make my Wyatt Earp character the correct way!

Could not have happened to a more-worthy MMO.

to TO THE END!
Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

Uhm . . . What?

I get the whole Kanye West is a pathetic loser reference you have there Chrome, but I have no idea what you are trying to say otherwise. Might want to do an edit and add some detail or a shout out for CoX.

As for me, Grats to City of Heroes / Villains and all the fans that voted for it.
