In the world of MMORPGs, a lot can be said about the studios developing the games that we play. Some have lost our trust or confidence entirely, while others have impressed us and gained our loyalty. This category has been created so that you can tell us which of the six editorial staff nominated studios you like best.

Have you ever bought a product simply because of the manufacturer’s name on the label? Ever bought a pair of Nike shoes, or maybe you’re a Toyota driver for life. Are you a Microsoft diehard, maybe you’re an Apple user. Whatever the product in question, people tend to become attached to particular companies and will tend to go back to those companies time and time again. This can be for any number of reasons, maybe you just like their product, maybe you like the way they handle customer support, maybe they always put the customer first or maybe you just like their logo.

Hands down: Turbine.

AC2 aside (which was more of a technology demonstrator in my eyes) Turbine continues to put out a well-polished product. 

Though I wish they would stop with the 2nd party IPs and return to their roots with a new sequel to Asheron's Call 1.

That was my oversight, I'm going to add them now. They had a big year this year.

 thanx,

they wouldnt have been my 1st choice anyway but i actually respect them keeping conan up, running and improving with probably low numbers atm while nc soft just shafts their games when things get rough.

ps.: i hope there will be a "newcomer" category so i can promote  spellborne nl a bit more ;)

I also feel it's Turbine.

 

I like NC Soft games but in the end I feel they are an arrogant company.

Turbine seems to care and though they might not do everything the players want, they have a very strong presence on their forums and seem to actually listen to the playerbase.

Hmmm no SOE on the list?  Not saying they will be a favorite but they are a major studio with several MMO's.

They honestly all suck. Indie companies ftw.
