also it had NO CC, so a skilled player could fight and win against multiple enemys, just because you were fighting 2 guys didnt mean you lost because you stand there stuned or rooted for ever, they still had to actually hit you so it gave you a chance.

plus it was a skill based game with no classes, you could be a fire ball throwing sword guy with cooking trained if you wanted, you earned XP by killing stuff but you also earned what was called unasigned XP that you saved up and spent on what skill YOU want to level up.

the pvp server was savage, there was not a single place on the entire map that was safe from pvp. when you went out hunting there was pvp, when you were in town selling there was pvp. there was huge epic wars over dungeons that guilds tried to control to level up, there was huge epic wars over towns that guilds tried to hold to sell items and call home.

YOU WERE NEVER SAFE it was real pvp.
QFT. I've been waiting a long time for the clone of this game, just hasn't seemed to surface. On top of the amazing PvP aspect, the looting system was hands down better than anything I have seen in ANY game, past or present.

Age of Conan 2 years ago. No game can compare in the aspect of competitive PvP. Everyone who says it had the worst pvp are just mad that in order to activate an ability they had to press 4 buttons instead of one.

Without a doubt

Asherons Call

Great for manouverability and based on skill of the person playing.
Let yourself Be consumed, Give yourself to the Dark side of the force - Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

The first week of DC universe before exploits turned it into a joke. The third person action game style combat was a BLAST in an MMO setting, especially when you got huge world PvP fights, like 30v30 going.
One to embody the power, the other to crave it.

People keep saying DAoC.

You know that game still exists right? People keep saying how great it was, but apparently none of you still play it. How is the greatest thing ever so great that you stopped?

Is it because it's a 10 year old game with a $15/month sub fee? I'm guessing it's that.

1) Everquest
2) The Realm

I still haven't played another game with item drop, so nothing else has made my list.

FFA allows for completely awesome dynamic player politics and constantly shifting territory. That along with the classless system and no CC to allow for a humongous skill cap made for the best PvP I have ever had. If they didn't take the servers down I would still be playing it.
Actually, the original AC servers are up and have always been up. AC 2 is the sequel that died and was shut down but the original game has been running for over 12 years now.

If there was a larger playerbase and a modern update to the graphics I'd still be playing it for sure myself.

DAOC>AC1>EQ2>WAR>AION>RIFT

DAOC on Mordred was very diffferent to normal servers and all the better for it

AC1 first MMO

EQ2 Nagafen nothing like going exile theyve made everything too easy now

WAR well Bright Wizards apart really enjoyed some of the sieges was nearly v good

AION bit of a grind at times but flying and combat was fun

Rift every rerollers dream very nice being able to constantly change your class without having to completely reroll

Daoc pvp sucks actually. They have the best RvR or open world pvp but the pvp mechanics are stupid.

Group VS Group comes down to whoever gets the first Group Mez. It is a crowd control that incapacitates your chars for 20-30 secs. So when one group hits the other, they will start killing people one by one. If the others wake up, they get aoe stunned. Game over. So people have to use maphacks. if your group do not have maphack, they will get killed easily.

I just like fighting for the relics and trying to take/defend a keep.
