Honestly, how is that even possible in that amount of time! Its pretty upsetting for a game that came out of nowhere that rarely anyone has even heard of, somehow is able to jump that % of the entire voting process at a constant rate.
Edit: "Just an FYI, we will be scrubbing the data manually at the end of the poll to make sure no cheating occurred. If it did, and that cheater was the winner, the next-in-line who did not cheat will win the award. @Meddle will be doing the scrubbing himself." Quote from MMORPG Bill Murphy.

Exactly. It's an Asian game so it's probably a big deal over there. There are a lot of people in Asia lol - they can swing the vote pretty easily. Perhaps most of them have never even heard of Pantheon just like most of us have never even heard of Mu. Opposide sides of the world - It's just a matter of perspective. People don't vote for something they've never heard of. That doesn't necessarily mean it's better. Although again, that's a matter of opinion. The Asian gaming scene is very different than it is over here.
I just don't understant why Mu was even on the list, it's a hack and slash ARPG diablo clone from the looks of it, Is diablo considered an MMO now? Sure theres lots of people "online" but you run around your own world by yourself for the most part lol. Please correct me if Im wrong.
If you read the comments on the recent post on FB from the MU community manager, 95% of the comments are people who are pissed at the dev team. If this was not a bot run on their end, I can only assume the votes were pulled from their eastern followers. They have 2 stickied threads on their MMORPG forums, with 1 comment in total.
The mystery surrounding MU online aside, PROTF showed up pretty strong. To Dullahan's point, this poll sheds a little light on how many guys on those boards are vocal detractors, verses how many people are silently behind Pantheon. I’m hoping that we get to see the total number of votes behind the percentages per game, but I suspect that overall MMORPG gaming community, compared to the amount of people active on that site, is heavily slanted in favor of the silent, unengaged majority of people who are just waiting to play the game they are interested in once it becomes available.

This is my point, no sour grapes, I'm glad we got so much traction. But again, it is most wanted mmo, not most wanted mmorpg. I think Pantheon's numbers clearly reflects who would have won that category, no one else was even close:
Bless Online @ 4.6%
Regardless of how the research comes out I'm really glad of the turnout.
This was an awesome effort folks, even if we didn;t win, we still showed a lot of people that we can take 25% of the votes away from some pretty big names who failed to even break into the double digits, that in itself is great advertising and a show of strength for Pantheon and the community.
We will wait to see what Bill from MMORPG.com says but I am proud of you all and happy with the support that we got even if we don't win, I am not sure why MU was on the list or how they competed so well with us but if it was legitimate great job to them, it was a close competition and we just got pipped at the post by a much larger community!
Thank you to everyone who voted and supported us, we appreciate it a lot, nice job! :)

Look at their Facebook page (Mu) over 63,000 followers, most are Filopino and Brazilian. Large community. heh
