Welcome to the MMO of the Year 2013!

Browser, Download, Mobile - no matter what platform, the best online games are awarded the MMO of the Year 2013. With its 8th iteration the prize is regarded as one of the biggest honors in the booming genre.

"MMO" stands for massively multiplayer online. That means online games with thousands of simultaneous players in a single game world, some of them being played by millions of people.

Counting more than half a million visitors and fifty thousand validated votes, last year's contest has been the biggest one so far. This year's focus will be an increasing number of releases for mobile devices along with the emerging markets in Latin America. Therefore the MMO of the Year 2013 is made available in Portuguese and Spanish languages for the first time.

• One of the biggest honors for massively multiplayer online games - now being held for the 8th time.
• 20+ categories across Browser, Download, iPhone and Android platforms - each being awarded once by jurors and and once by the audience.
• 500.000 visitors and 50.000 votes in the audience awards in 2012 - with the addition of Latin America, this year's numbers are expected to be even bigger.
• 100% free - We are dedicated to provide an absolutely fair competition. Therefore there are no fees for taking part in the contest.
