What is going on with this? Is this just a result of all the people from the various game forums giving every game but their own a 1 on the hype-meter? |

Seems there was a call to do that in a thread of some game's forum. |

Well, the only game forum I follow is Darkfall, and there was indeed a post about how Darkfall had recently moved up in hype.
However, seeing the recent decrease in all games (including Darkfall) I would imagine there have been similar posts made all over. |

hype is also factored by page views, posts, etc in specific gaming forums on this site. So right now, WAR is about to launch and is dominating web views....so yes others will drop like a ton of bricks right now |

Netiquette, be proper, but carry a big Nerf Bat. |
I've noticed the hype rankings as well. No other game in development except for WAR is above a 7.00. I'm not putting blame to anyone, just that it is interesting to see. |

| And that is why... Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness. |

Originally posted by miagisan Actually hype is purely vote based there is a separate meter for page views and hits under a separate listing on the front page.
This is what the counter for page views and posts looks like, does NOT correspond to the hyper meter at all. Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning #2 Stargate Worlds #3 World of Warcraft #4 Age of Conan #5 Aion #6 Darkfall #7 Lord of the Rings Online #8 EverQuest II #9 The Chronicles of Spellborn #10 EVE Online Outside of this site on other forums there have a been several games that have indeed called for the down rating of other games, and the up rating their games. The hype meter was never honestly a good way to tell how a game is doing, as this happens a lot. It is very rare that people fairly rate the games. You have a lot of people that are rating the games they are looking forward to a 10, and all other games a 1, without really any reason. |

Yeah, your right...it has been proven. A grand total of 8 Darkfall fans did this...8! I'm so sure that those 8 individuals had such a drastic effect on the hype meters especially since Darkfall had no less than 29 negative hypes in the same time frame. 8 vs 29...Wow the Darkfall fans should be so ashamed of themselves for trying to combat the out and out Trolls that are doing it to their game. Get a clue please. The meters here are graded on a curve so that no game will ever be a perfect 10. It's the prerelease Hype for WAR that is driving all of the other games hype down and has nothing to do with Darkfall. This is especially apparent when you consider that Darkfall's hype is falling at the same rate of every other game on the list.

It is a rather childish thing to do in my opinion and I see no reason for it. It harms the community as a whole.
