It’s fantastic to see this because I view it as sort of like a summary of all the work people put into the community this year. I can’t help but notice that the last few years have seen the community grow, which is surprising given we all play a 20 year old game.

well done to everyone... not just the eventual winners!
 
So I do not play on VOX I assume to participate I would have to roll up a level 1 correct ? I voted in all categories already just not sure if I had to be on VOX.

Nope, you can be on any server you like. You're not required to attend the drawing in order to win.

Well - only if you wish to follow the drawings - then - yes you would need a character there.
And for the Krono? Maybe - but only if Red wants to send it to a character on Vox (it could be done on any other server, too). So it depends.

In general? Just like Redbot said: NOPE.
 
The results are in!


Favorite New Plugin of 2019
@ChatWithThisName (maintainer) had an impressive clean sweep of this category, a record that may never be broken. His class plugins are extremely easy to use, produce immediate and impressive results, and he's improving them literally every day. There were also many notable new utility and developer plugins this year that deserve mention, including MQ2Relocate by @Sic giving us a way to quickly (and legitimately) zone around the world, MQ2Collections by @TypePun gave us collection types outside of arrays, and MQ2DotNet by @alynel gave us C# and .Net capabilities.

Favorite New Macro of 2019
In the most competitive and crowded category this year, IHCMercs took the gold with its zero-config combat routines that boast impressive DPS, heals and tanking as well as ease of use, thanks to the work of @morisato (maintainer), @drwhomphd, @ihc385 and others. An extremely close finish for 2nd and 3rd went to @joojoobee's clever quest decoder & @Denethor's ambitious Explore.Mac to which we owe our shiny Evolving Efreeti boots 👢. @jande's tradeskill macro missed an ESA trophy by a single vote!

Explore.Mac - An Explorer / Achievement Macro


Favorite Updated Plugin of 2019
For the 2nd year in a row, @brainiac takes the gold with MQ2Nav thanks to its seamless navigation of any zone. @jimbob's maintenance of MQ2EQBC nabs a surprise 2nd place finish despite MQ2DanNet threatening to replace it, and @eqmule adds another ESA trophy to his collection with MQ2EasyFind.

Favorite Updated Macro of 2019
For the 2nd year in a row, @ctaylor22 & @Maskoi's all class macro enjoys a blowout win with KissAssist for its release of version 11, with revamped conditions and dannet support. @kaen01 secures his first ESA Trophy with his quick and easy farming macro Pocketfarm.mac, and @ChatWithThisName shocks the world with a 3rd place for the efficient & fun Fish.mac

Favorite Stand-Alone & Misc Software of 2019
In a surprise to no one, MacroQuest2 once again takes the gold thanks to the efforts of @eqmule, @brainiac, @swiftymuse and others. @r1pt1de earned second place by figuring out a way to deliver updates from hundreds of authors to thousands of users with the RedGuides Launcher. EQBCS.exe, @jimbob's box chat server (an important thing for a multiboxing community) took 3rd place. Was @wired420 robbed of a trophy for his brilliant MeshUpdater? Yes.
