The voting phase for "MMO of the Year 2013" is now underway.
Sponsored by GameGenetics, leading distributor of free-to-play online games, players and judges can start voting to determine the winner of this award of the online gaming genre.
The influence and reach of the award is impressive - with hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the globe and tens of thousands of valid votes were cast in the previous year. The contest is also making its way to new regions this year, particularly in Latin America.
"We're really grateful to be able to provide this opportunity to players in Portugal, Spain ,... 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 will choose between the nominated titles, representing the best new releases from last year. But players on the other hand are free to choose any game in the public vote. 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 to help them expand even more. "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.
Fans, players, judges, dogs, cats, whatever, can go here to cast their vote, and have until Feb. 15 to do so. . The winners will be announced right after the voting phase.
