Best MMO PvP you ever played?

DAOC... nothing comes close!

Not only was the 8 man groups awesome but the relic capturing was amazing!

not this fking one.. thats for sure.

haha forgot about that. NWTatics was the poo. was a level12 cap but made it way more balanced for the minigame they had.

Those Mythic guys are long gone. They are the ones behind Prime Battle for Dominus now. I think its just called Dominus atm because of naming rights. Doesnt look that great to me graphics wise but the PvP would still be fun since its 3 realms.

yeah man back when pvp was PVP. could you imagine how fast todays WoW carbear pvper would rage quit after probably 10 min of Darktide pvp?

dont think we will ever see a server like that again, todays players are to soft.

1. Shadowbane
2. DAoC
3. Space Cowboy

This game has horrid PvP:

1. Lack of level brackets
2. Ilum Win Trading
3. Terrible Balance

DAoC > x

x = Anything you can think of.

I just wanted to echo this.

Loved the Darktide server. You could/would be looted when killed.

I was only able to play for 4 or 5 months (it was at a time when money and free time were not as plentiful for me as they are now), so I don't know if/how things changed.

But there were no parties, no factions, no "healers", no "tanks". Just people playing. Your friend one day could be your enemy the next.

Neverwinter Nights 1. Bastions of war usermade server with 20+ rotating AB type maps. Buy gear for points. Extremely deep character building system. This is what i have the fondest memories of.

Wow was great too, but the constant rollercoaster nerf/buff got old. They obviously had no good pvpers on the dev team. Ring of frost, mace stuns, dks rets hunters at wotlk start. Priests at cata start. Waiting months and months for balancing that would be obvious to any pvper was why I left.

for me was EvE back between 2006-2008 or so.
why?, very intricate, player driven systems and ship type/class synergies and combat, awesome world pvp

followed closely by vanilla WoW around 2007 after the main pvp balance and pvp content patches all the way till the start of tbc.
not so great player driven systems, but still awesome designed world and third pillar that created some of the most fun world pvp I ever seen in all my MMO experience.
class balance tho not perfect was pretty enveloping, as the classes were pretty unique and well designed (with a few spec exceptions)

sadly ToR was a huge let down on the world pvp part... but pvp is pretty fun, for those that dont have the warzone lag/fps plague that is
