lordkafei Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Its official - League of Legends won Best Free-to-play. Whats perhaps more shocking is that RuneScape finished third behind World Of Tanks. ref: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/10/21/pc-cleans-up-at-the-golden-joystick-awards :razz: PvP is not for meIn the 3rd Year of the BoycottReal-world money saved since FT/W: Hundreds of DollarsReal-world time saved since FT/W: Thousands of Hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefoo Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 World of Tanks? What even is that anyways? Oh, and to repost what I was saying in another thread: There is nothing to lose in being nominated for the GJA. You win - props, a trophy and something to add to the marketing of the game (as well as the marketing recieved just by being nominated)You lose - you still get that publicity. win/win tbh. Nothing will change, deal with it. Exactly. Kinda sad to see how many spiteful nerds decided to vote against Runescape even though they never played any of the other games on the list. Way to be grateful for the thousands of hours of enjoyment you've gotten out of Runescape. Sure, Jagex has been puking out more marketing gimmicks as of late, but that's NORMAL. Any company that wants to make money does this. I bet most, if not all, of the other games in the "free play" category have some crap they pull to rake in a few extra dollars.In the end, it doesn't really matter anyway. Publicity is publicity. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to cancel my membership and go play some WORLD OF TANKS: THE SECOND BEST GAME EVER.

HunterDexter Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hehe, glad my vote helped. :P Don't even play LoL, never did, but everything is better than RS winning in the F2P category when the F2P game isn't even playable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leik Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Expected. Although a small part of me expected Jagex to somehow "steal" the first place as well. But overall, I don't really care whether they're first or last on that list. Wouldn't change anything for me. LIVERPOOL WILL WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON.

Ginger_Warrior Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It would've been misleading for people to vote in favour of RuneScape on the back of its P2P version of the game. I'm not sure how the other games stack up to RuneScape's F2P model though, since I've no real experience of either. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Wonder what the Golden Scythe is going to be for then ... maybe the Scythe portion of it was backup in case they lost?Oh, and I thought these were supposed to be announced only on the day of Runefest? Wonder what the mood there will be like as a result. PS: Eduardo, I know you'll be back to look at this thread ;) In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Kaida23 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 They'll spin the fact that they came in third, it's what they have marking people for. Still, when you consider how many free game there are out there, third place is pretty darn good. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

tripsis Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Despite all the drama surrounding this vote, I think I'm actually a little surprised :P - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirschen Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Not surprised they didn't win this time, but I am impressed they still made top three at the very least. Now, will the golden scythe be a nice bronze? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am a bit surprised they didn't win. With so many f2p accounts on rs...Seems like Jiblix's video had a bigger impact than I thought it would. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's a shame we placed at all. Not placing would have been something of an embarrassment for them after winning twice in a row, and might have sent a stronger message. That said, they lost to some tank game no one's ever heard of, so there is that. It might not encourage Jagex to try harder at all, but it won't hurt us either.

Sona Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Tank game is popular outside of English-speaking countries. It's especially popular in Russia for whatever reason. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Based purely on the F2P experience Positive Things Riot has done for LoL Recently:-offered champion concepts that were requested by community (female tank, male ranged AD)-lowered in-game currency prices of numerous previous champs-introduced a new gamemode-offered blind draft and then kept it around at the request of the community Positive Things Wargaming.net has done for WoT Recently:-lol I dunno, I played the game during beta and the grind for better tanks was annoying then even with free premium status-tanks are cool Positive Things Jagex has done for RS Recently:-???

Carl Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Honestly, it's a meaningless award. Win or not, it doesn't matter. Nothing would have changed if they won, and nothing will change that they lost. If it wasn't for the developers pointing out these awards, people wouldn't know about them. After a few days, everyone will forget about it. RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pal2002 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Mmm..."the world's most popular free mmorpg" didn't win a category called "best free to play" in probably the largest open voting ing gaming awards? That makes a statement right there. (to add to that, gja is a uk based award too)Maybe at least jagex will stop falsely trying to claim that title.

Bxpprod Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 OH THE HUMANITY. A game winning award over another. Things must change:- DAT PIC WHICH IS HERE But in all seriousness, now that we know they didn't win, and somehow this is a huge victory for Jiblix et all in their anti-Jagex crusade, what do the anti-ers really think is going to happen?
