There is a poll here...
https://massivelyop.com/2018/12/27/massively-ops-2018-awards-most-anticipated/
The topic is "Which MMORPG is your most anticipated for 2019 and beyond?"
I voted Pantheon and Ship of heroes.
Go vote and show your support for Pantheon!!
Sorry if there is already a thread on this... I couldnt find one so I made one.
@Naunet
Your vote doesn’t surprise me in the slightest ;)
I just voted Pantheon. Pantheon onward!
Pantheon is leading right now at 16% of 674 votes :)
I voted for Pantheon. I'm a little hyped for Shadowbringers too, but I feel like FFXIV started to really fall into the top-heavy treadmill trap that afflicts so many other MMOs, and quality storytelling alone can't fix that problem. Most of the other stuff on the list I either don't know enough about to have an opinion, or I know enough to know that it's not the kind of game I'll like. I was surprised by the comments about Torchlight Frontiers and its housing system though - I may need to go read up on that game, since I know nothing about it.
But Pantheon > all :)

It will change nothing for the players and I also think it will give less to nothing to the developers. The possible new pledges will not be that much.
Visibility. Many of thoses games aren't big blockbusters, and it creates curiosity to players consulting thoses polls about what incoming games are interesting others. I, myself, did find Pantheon by pure luck on the Gucomics boards while I wasn't even searching for some long term game. Polls like theses are word of mouth and can increase the chance that players looking for a group centric MMO (can't say old school anymore ;_; ) get a glimpse at pantheon.
Not everyone is on the boards.

MassivelyOP says it's "just for fun." It's not nearly as important or official as the MMORPG.com polls. It's pretty much just bragging rights. But that's definitely not nothing. As Mauvais said, winning any sort of poll will get people's attention. It's human nature to follow what's popular most of the time. So if other people voting see that Pantheon is #1 (which it is as I'm writing this), even if they hadn't heard of it before, they'll probably think "huh, a lot of people voted for that. It must be good. I wonder what it is." Then they look it up and might even fall in love with it themselves. And it will also send a message to the MassivelyOP journalists that even though none of them even mentioned Pantheon in the comments, this is in fact a game that players want more than anything. So maybe they should write more articles about it, which would in turn get the game more exposure.
I did my vote for Pantheon. Classic WoW would of been next. Everything else, except maybe Torch light, looks meh.
