I mentioned the industry's inability to copy and improve on DAOC in another post, I mean just how hard would that be? But it was obviously lightening in a bottle (that sadly was past over by a great many self appointed hardcore PvP'rs), they broke their own game with TOA/Relics and hell even the leftovers that were on the WAR team didn't get it right...

The biggest problem I think is that the current PvP playstyle is the waste/byproduct of PvE, it has been that way since EQ - Just give them a server or a few BGs, some ranks and gear, they'll be fine.

The feeling of a running with a few groups in the frontiers and knowing your class has a real reason to be there and that you are there with a purpose, capturing keeps and relics for global bonuses AND a PvP Dungeon all the while looking forward to mass player battles was amazing.
Technically thid wasnt instanced... there was only one instance and everyone joined the same battleground. Thats part of what makes for fun pvp... and the one keep (main objective) with a satellite objective (tower) each realm expected to hold or retake as a start, was all you really need to set the stage for months of fun. Why cant they just do something like this in swtor?

DAOC is best no questions the MMO population has spoken 1000 times over and said that DAOC is the best PVP ever in an MMO.

Best part is that this game could capture the same thing (accept the 3 sides) with the way the game has planets set up. Make a planet or 2 that when you land your PVP flagged. Make these planets on both PVP and PvE servers. one of the best things about DAOC was that you could PVE on the same server that PVP was thriving on, and you only had to partake in the open world PVP when you wanted too. Also it was not a PVP flag system, when you went to the frontier you knew everyone you saw could be killed or could kill you. these planets should eb the same way.

DAoC had the best, factional, PvP by far. Note, it was factional, not FFA (well, except for the 'dreds). It's the only game I know of where the PvP drove the community. If your realm had all 3 of one of the relic types, people would do just about anything when the RK came under attack. Drop groups, suicide out of dungeons, anything. Being a Hib, we usually had all 3 Power relics, and at the first guard spam of anything greater than 10 people alliance chat would light up and groups would begin forming at DC/DL. Hell, you would call your friends/guildmates who might not be on to tell them to get their asses in game now.

You don't see this in any other game (well, maybe in Eve but the communities there are corp/alliance based and not factional).

Shadowbane was the best pvp game bar none. Nothing even comes close.

UO was second.

#1 UO (For those that played it before trammel, BoB runs FTW)
#2 EvE Online (nothing like blowing someone up and finding plex)

DAOC Midgard FTW.

All they had to do was, just copy it, Update graphics, Update dungeon rewards.. For example TG, SI Zones, TOA Zones and we would have had best of both words.. sigh.

I really miss my Kobbie RM

DaoC as well. Only game I've played where a group of 8 people could drop a group of 40 if they positioned and coordinated themselves well. Wiping zergs was epic, as was gank groups vs each other. People would talk to each other all the time in forums and if your group encountered another group in the room and had an epic fight it wasn't uncommon for your group to shift to their vent for some friendly banter about the fight. Best memories I have with pvp by far.

Lol at this from the wiki entry.
