glargh and suchlike

It’s been a longstanding problem that end-of-the-year awards for MMORPGs aren’t ideal for honoring “classic” MMOs, especially the really old games, really small games, really ugly games, and all the stuff you played when you were kids but that your kids probably think is dated as heck.

So for the last few years, we’ve been polling our readers for their pick for which of the classic MMOs is aging the most… gracefully. Last year, we even started including WoW Classic and some of the more reputable emulated MMOs at the urging of our readers, though for the most part, we’re still limiting the choices to living titles. As usual, we’ve done our best to pick out MMOs from the first couple of generations, but if you really do want to fight over what counts as “classic,” knock yourselves out in the comments, you do you. To the pollmobile with your three votes apiece!
