1. DAoC
2. Warhammer

And 3rd I would probably say LOTRO..... yes, I know that sounds odd but I really enjoy it

UO. Hands down, before all the nerfs. I absolutely LOVED that game and lived to pvp. All my toons other than my main, were there to support my pvp habit. It took real skill to be good.

That game got me where I am today in life, which is teaching computer engineering and information systems. When I started playing it I started really pushing myself to learn about pc's and networking in order to better myself at pvp....lol. The more I learned, the more I decided that computers is what I wanted to do with my life.

So who says gaming will get you nowhere???

Probally the most fun IMO. Got a little laggy though at times. Anyone that did not have fun with pvp in SWG must have missed either the begining or the end of this games life span.

The GCW updates in the last year gave so much incentive for world pvp and kept me loggin in all the time.

Best: Ultima Online, Asheron's Call, and Anarchy Online.

Worse: DAoC, for starting the downfall of PvP in MMORPGs by ruining world PvP and introducing "canned" (instanced) PvP.

PS: people who classify "LOTRO" in their top 3 best PvP MMOs must definitely not have played more than 3 MMOs...

Since most of these posts mention DAOC as the best, or almost the best, then the developers need to listen.

It is time to add the DAOC system to SWTOR.

Where in DAoC was there instanced PvP? I played for years... I didn't see anything instanced other than the dungeons.

DAoC was probably some of the best PvP I have ever had outside a first person shooter!

And as for LOTRO PvP.... It was pretty good. May be a bit stale after years of the same thing but its still fun. I think of LOTRO as fun PvP, not SUPER competitive, just a nice experience. Also the 50 Vs 50 raids were FUN. IMO it was the community on my server that made my experience what it was

In saying that this is >>>MY<<< opinion so trying to degrade me because I have different taste in games than you is a bit unfair

He's probably referring to the battlegrounds Thidranki, Caledonia, and the other one no one went to, which were technically instanced, but not in the same way as we perceive instancing nowadays. However, it did probably plant the seed for WoW's "true" instanced battleground spam.
