Looking for a runnning/moving PvPmmorpg

I like mmos.... because you get to PvP. It is to me a lot more interesting to pit your wits and skill against another person because you never know for certain how that other person may play.



I think something that I miss most is having self sustaining communities and player owned cities, bases that could be destroyed, those pesky choke points Raph Koster seemed to think was needed in MMORPGs in order to allow people to run into each other. Those things are the RPG part of the MMO and laughed at or scorned by a lot of PvPers, but without them people don't have community loyalties that bind them within a game and they don't stick around.



One thing that seems to be more and more numerous are these MMOs that seem to think you need to stand in one spot and be real still to cast some stupid spell at someone else who has to run to you, away from you, or stand real still so they can cast some stupid spell. What I am getting at is that I kinda miss seeing huge running battles where you may not be able to run but if you did you could still fight.



Now I know there are plenty of games that have a commando or hunter or something that can run and fight, but I wish all the characters could.



Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy games like Half-Life 2 and CSS that don't make me pay every month and I have to admit that World of Warcraft has the best finished product to log into and level up in an MMO environment, but thats all. I don't want to just level up and keep buying endless expansions to keep leveling more.



I would be quite happy to stay in a game and keep paying with multiple accounts if I could find an MMO that had the finished.... well lets just say the unbuggy look and feel of WoW but with real communities and running open world PvP.



Make non PvP instanced based servers if you like, but real open world all out PvP with player owned cities, running battles, player city owned faction bases that can be destroyed.....



It has been years now. I still miss the old pre patch 9 Star Wars Galaxies. I still can't play what is called SWG now. I still float in and out of WoW for nor reason other than boredom.



And I still can't seem to find a PvPmmoRPG that wants to take the time to just add in the ability for gamers to create and utilize self sustaining communities within the game beyond guilds. Well an attempt was made with Conan but instanced and buggy, I can't get into it.



Are there any games that are even in concept at this point that takes these things into consideration?

    You should try 'Aion' when it launches in september. Has pretty much all the things you want.

    I'm also hopping to this game from WoW.

    As recommended before try Aion i believe it will have what you seek.

    You should take a hard look at Mortal Online. It's currently in closed beta right now. I can't say that I'm actually playing in it, but let's just say that things are shaping up very, very well. It's slated to release at the end of this year, but realistically it'll probably release at the beginning of 2010.

    The game offers open-ended, non-instanced pvp, sieges, a very intricate crafting system, classless system, skill based etc.

     

    Everything you would need for a perfect sandbox, well, MO has it. Go check it out.

    Will be updated later.
