If you, like the Massively writers, expected a week of quietude and serenity before the holidays as the game studios closed down early, then you didn't get what you expected, but at least you got something good! MMOs around the globe are immersed in winter holiday events, and digital retailers are trying to coax you into buying more games than you can reasonably play in a lifetime. At Massively, we doled out our annual MMO awards, rounded up our favorite gaming moments from 2012, and picked out a few reasons to look forward to a new year filled with sandboxes.
The complete weekly roundup of Massively's top MMO stories is just beyond the break!
