This probably isn’t of great interest to a lot of people, but to our regular readers you may like to know which stories pulled the largest number of readers during 2012.

Given we only moved to a wider MMO brief in the second half of this year, the skew is to SWTOR but it’s interesting all the same.

So without further ado, the top 10* stories this year in reverse order are:

10. SWTOR Game Update 1.2 Patch Notes: Crew Skills

9. Heavy Damage: Jedi Guardian overview

8. WoW 5.04 Final Patch Notes

7. SWTOR 1.3 Patch Notes

6. Interview: BioWare’s Gabe Amatangelo on PvP, Server Transfers

5. SWTOR Game Update 1.2 Patch Notes: Classes and Combat

4. SWTOR Free Server Transfers: ‘Late April’

3. SWTOR Patch 1.1.4 notes

2. 30 Troopers Fighting Together

and number 1 is….

1. SWTOR Game Update 1.2 Patch Notes: Highlights

So if you look at the past year, SWTOR patch notes were the dominant thing, particularly the 1.2 update. Based on the data over the past three months it’s safe to say that the next list will be a lot more diverse 😉 We say it all the time but I’ll say it again: if there’s areas you want more coverage of, let us know in comments!

Note for transparency: I excluded our World of Warcraft Maps for Stormwind, Orgrimmar etc as they receive far and away the most views but are only used for a few seconds each by non-regular site visitors.
