I fear a top 10 list would suffer the same fate as the old tier list. If I could dig up that tier list, I'd post it for curiosity's sake, but I've had little luck finding it and it has long since died on GW. I remember quite a few on the top 20 or so, though:
A Blurred Line by Lysander
Ara Fell by BadLuck
Legacies of Dondoran by Harmonic
Kinetic Cipher (Again) by Brickroad
Aurora Wing by...I forgot his name...an old #rm2k regular that no longer goes there
Master of the Wind by Artbane and Volrath
Push! by Sei
Jump! by Sei
Love and War by AdmiralStyles
Hero's Realm by Kentona
The Frozen World by Lysander
Balmung Cycle (or whatever it was called, the old version) by Magi
The Way by Lun Calsari
I think the main problem with the tier list (and numerical 'top of the barrel, bottom of the barrel' lists in general) is the ranking order. If we were ever to recreate the 'tier list' or any other 'top games list', I would just make a list of really cool games that people should play in no particular order. Who cares about the chaff anyway? And why would we rank it?

I'm shocked i don't see my game on that list Karsuman but i expect it'll be number 1 when i release the full version. ;)
RMN3 will be released and a miracle will happen, RMN3 will be released on the birth of the newborn baby.
GW6 will release it'll be the sign of the apocalypse!
Also I now take my throne as #9 Top Poster on this site.

Worldsong was on The List.
Hooooo boy.
Also, RMN1 was when we still had Brick. That is the difference between RMN1 and RMN2.

I hope you are being sarcastic DD. I really do.

It was also very far down on said list where we had trouble thinking of games that were half competent.
Just as a side note! =P
Still think it would be a good idea.
You could have TOP 10 games in general (like the ones on the list up there)
And TOP 10 games of the month.
So it changes in one regard.
But then again I do see the point of not having a list, I remember back in the old rpg2knet days that my first ever demo: Star Ocean: Shadows Of Zelnack debuted 6th and never fell out of the top 20 until around the end of the 2004 (and keep in mind...it was a crappy game that came out in the middle of 02) X_x
(Looks at list again)
Memories...what? No Romancing Walker? X_x

We have a Featured Game. We also plan on keeping track of what games have been featured (in RMNv3, of course).
That coupled with the Misaos is probably as much as an RM site should support. Anything else gets a little to preachy and elitist.
A user-generated list by the members is probably more appropriate than some RMN sanctioned list.

But...shouldn't the featured game change every week? I'm surprised that Carius game hasn't reached the front page as the featured game. No offence to hima, but that game has been out for awhile, and has had enough praise. Let's put up something that hasn't gotten that well known praise. Or a rough diamond that nobody has discovered, until now! (Or go with the classics! Ara Fell again anyone?) ;D
Just so that you don't think I am being glib, I started a thread in the Contributor subforum (that has 77 post now!) about the Featured Game wayyy back in January '08.
I may look like I do dick all here (its true) but I have started many discussions behind the scenes.
Anywho, here is a sampling of things from that first post, and some of the things we have decided upon:
My answers:
I think that we should have the staff and not the community determine what the featured game. Part of the point is to bring attention to hidden gems (such as Kinetic Cipher), and the community would just vote for whatever is most popular -- and popular titles hardly need the promotion.
2. Can't remember what we decided on that
3. We added Contributors!
4. This was completely voluntary I had forgot about it.
Lastly, USG was placed as the featured game on August 6th. 3 weeks would make it August 27th.
So far, the timing hasn't been exactly 3 weeks either - more like 3 weeks-ish. USG will be replaced with a new game probably in about a week...ish.

Anywho, here is a sampling of things from that first post, and some of the things we have decided upon:
But a few questions remain:
1. How long does a game remain on the Featured Game slot?
2. How do we choose a new Featured Game?
3. What does being a Featured Game entail? What are it's benefits?
My answers:
1. The first suggestion for this was 1 week. I don't think that it is long enough. 1 month is too long, however. How about every 3 weeks? It gives the game enough exposure, and gives us admins a chance to do what I will propose in my answer to 3. We could also have a timer for "New Featured Game coming in: 6 days. Nominate a new game here!"...or something.We hope to have several more useful site features for the Featured Game with RMNv3.
2. We make a Featured Game nomination thread (either one master thread or a new thread for everytime we need to replace the featured game some few days to a week in advance). This thread will allow the user base to nominate games and argue for (or against) featuring a game. Ultimately, it will be up to us to choose the game.We decided instead for featured game to be Staff driven for the following (good) reason:
I think that we should have the staff and not the community determine what the featured game. Part of the point is to bring attention to hidden gems (such as Kinetic Cipher), and the community would just vote for whatever is most popular -- and popular titles hardly need the promotion.
3. Being a Featured Game means that your game will be a big part of the front page. But is that enough? I think to really make it worth something we should do more than that.1. Permanent list is coming in RMNv3-ish, but it's low priority
-have a permenant list of Featured Games accessible somewhere on the site. A history of who has had a game featured
-a special indicator in the Games Page saying that it is (or was) a featured game. (Maybe a different coloured font for the link?)
-Generate at least 2 reviews for the game between us admins (and/or a team specially chosen for the purpose of writing reviews - kind of like a staff position).
-Make a special link in our (admins) sigs that link to the featured game. Display them in all the forums we frequent.

RMN3 is being actively and conscientiously worked on and is shaping up really well. That's all I can really offer!

That was up there too, IIRC.
Can't remember everything!

Guys, how do we have 35 guests viewing this forum.
edit: it has dropped. >:(
Also, I can't believe I helped create The List. What was that, 3 years ago or something?
