Best MMO PvP you ever played?

There's actually a great front page post on wtfman.com about balance in today's mmos that still can't match UO. Unfortunetly, can't access the site through work

I bet half the people saying Daoc had never played the game. Just fanboys "cause daoc was such a great game!"

i hate nostalgia.

swg and eve

RF-Online hands down. 3 Factions, not this 2 Faction Crap, every 8 Hours the Factions would fight over an Objective to get Resources for your Faction and the good old fight for leveling spots.....aaaah how i miss the PvP from this.

I've enjoyed pvp in many mmos but never lasted beyond a couple of months in all but a couple because the endgame stuff to support pvp just hasn't been there (sound familiar)

Best (longest played) were:

ultima 2.5 years, proper world pvp, proper faction system, murderers, had to risk pvp areas to do the most challenging pve (post trammel), actual economy, player loot the good old days - honestly a t2a or even renaissance build (to get more players in) ultima modern remake would keep many, many people happy for many years

swg 2 years, perma overt teras kasi/commando, permadeath jedi, player city with faction bases

the rest I left after a couple of months:

darkfall: awesome pvp but no hardcap on skills was dumb imo, should've been set at 1k or so so people had to choose what to be, not just be everything at once.

dcuo: fun, fast paced pvp, needs more though

lotro: played as a warg for about 3 months, good fun but restricted to one zone and the stupid amount of cc on freep side wore thin - good keep takeover/defence mechanism though

vanguard, warhammer, rift left because of population issues, no population in vanguards case, severe imbalance on the other 2 (I was on high pop faction and got bored of no action)

eve: too slow, got a stealth ship, got kicked from corp because i went on holiday for a week, why so serious

aoc: got tired of waiting for the fabled pvp update and bored of hanging round keshatta all day with nothing else to do

only mmo regret: missing daoc because I was still playing ultima

RF Online 4ever!

Best real mmorpg PvP!

DAoC should be a case study in bungled opportunities. By all rights it should have crushed EQ. It had that much potential. If only it had been in better hands than Mythic.

This wow/swtor guys don't know how is to fight for leveling spots and also 3 faction!! best of best!

DaoC, often immitated never bettered even by it's own creators.

The RvR was the pinnacle of what PvP should be! It was fun, it was addictive and it meant something to everyone that participated.

Maybe Bioware should go watch some old footage of what made DaoC so great, then take a look at the WZ's and Ilum and hopefully then, they will realise how they got it wrong.

Planetside - No gaming experience will come close to the first time I took part in a massive battle in PS. I can't wait for Planetside 2.

Bloodline Champions - Not really an MMO, but it's the best pvp game out right now. Everyone who likes skill based pvp should give this game a shot.
