Berlin – January 18
th, 2013
Together with main sponsor GameGenetics, the leading distributor
of free-to-play online games, the online game magazine mmofacts.com
announced the beginning of the voting phase for the "MMO of the
Year 2013". Players and judges can start voting to determine the
winner of this major award of the booming online gaming genre at
http://www.mmooftheyear.com.
The influence and reach of the award is outstanding, with hundreds
of thousands of visitors from around the globe and tens of
thousands of valid votes cast in the previous year.
With strong support from local partners this year the “MMO
of the Year” is making its way to several new regions at
once. “We’re really grateful to be able to provide this
opportunity to players in Portugal, Spain, Latin America and
especially Brazil to make their votes count and to have a fully
localized experience. We’re thankful also for the great help
of Portugal Telecom and UOL in supporting the award” says
Julian Migura, Global Business Development Director at regional
partner BoaCompra, Latin America’s leading gaming service and
digital payment company.
The quality of the nominated browser, download and Mobile MMOs
in over 20 categories is higher than ever. Jurors have to choose
between the nominated titles, representing the best new releases
from last year. On the other hand, players can freely choose any
game in the public voting. There will be two awards for each
category in the end, one from the jury and one from the
audience.
Main sponsor GameGenetics is handing out a special prize for the
top performing games. “The three titles gathering the most
votes in the audience voting are each getting a marketing package
of 333 user registrations for free. Delivering new users from
relevant audiences is our way of contributing to their continuous
growth” says Alexander Piutti, CEO and founder of the Berlin
based video game distributor.
Players can vote at
http://www.mmooftheyear.com
until the 15th of February 2013. The winners will be announced
right after the voting phase.
The „MMO of the Year“ is supported by the main
sponsoer GameGenetics, as well as GameFinder, honeytracks,
