Best MMO PvP you ever played?

1. Golden Eye
2. Runescape
3. Pokemon

Overall probably SWG.

Swtor

1. DAOC

If daoc had been the game to bring mmo's to the reta...err the masses and made the kind of money WoW did, every game after would have been much better.

Too bad wow had to ruin the entire fhucking genre, thanks alot blizzard.

Now we have to wait 10 years for the zerg to mature enough to get tired of the wow cloning, and for the douchebag corporate bloodsucking ********s to realize they will make more money updating the near flawless pvp platform DAOC had.

• WoW arenas for small scale / reasonably competitive PvP (during better seasons).

• WAR low level warzones were amazing fun and warzones (were they called that there as well? can't remember) in general were decent apart from the ability delay WAR suffered from.

• WAR keeps / zones PvP when sides were fairly balanced and **** didn't lag to hell probably the most fun wpvp I've had in any game, discounting some obvious issues (cough, AoE on stairs). One of my guilds there holding the same keep for something like 3-4 weeks straight on a fairly balanced realm was an amazing experience.

• Rift wpvp was actually fairly decent as well, at least in the start and when it happened. Warzone design had some interesting ideas but premades farming PuGs for gear/ranks took a lot of fun out of it. Spontaneous wpvp around invasion bosses / summoned rifts in high level areas is a great example of reasons to wpvp. No gimmicks, additional rewards or specifically labelled PvP zones required.

• EVE deserves honourable mentions for many things but I don't think much of it can be realistically implemented in a modern big title style mmorpg.

SW:TOR shipped without much of a vision for PvP (against it is more like it, looking at f.e. the way planets are separated for the two factions - this must've been a decision taken VERY early in design stages for the entire game and if they didn't realize at the time that this would basically kill off wpvp on any noteworthy scale there's not much hope for PvP anyway) and I'll be very surprised if they manage to come up with one and implement it in time to make the game more than a footnote in mmorpg pvp history, regardless of subscriber numbers.

I played swg, a little eve, wow, and this game. I say all pvp in any mmorpg is bad. There is no comparison to a shooter game.

Shooter never beats Arena from WoW.
I'm sorry but you're wrong and i'm 150% right!

Duh it's like if I say starcraft 2 has better PVP than any MMORPG.....
(no not protoss vs protoss :P)

1. Shadowbane

2. DaoC

3. EQ2 pvp before they allowed FoTM

Correction - PVP in modern MMO's are bad.

IMO old school MMO's > shooters (which rely 99% on reflexes).

- Planetside
- Planetside
- Planetside

And I did play DaoC but its classbalance was a joke.
