Another round of LFG - P2P PvP MMO?

Maverickroll

Every 10-12 months I'll ask around about a new mmo, I generally get the same replies but I always ask cause ya never know, there may be a game on the horizon you don't know about.

I'm looking for, preferably, a P2P mmo, heavily focused on PvP. And by heavily, I mean heavily. It needs the following;

- open pvp. completely open. extremely few if not any "safe" zones. kill anyone, anywhere, any time, for any reason.

- Factions or at least some objective for group based combat.

- Game mechanics to support small scale pvp (i.e. 1v1 or big guild vs guild fights).

- Preferably some form of player housing or building creation you can take from other players (i.e. Shadowbane, Darkfall, etc)

- A good variety of race / class combos.. So many mmos these days have only a pitiful small handful of races, or classes in game. Hell put something in there that isn't even related to combat, i.e. pure tradeskill classes, thief classes, etc

- A persistent world. No zones, no instances, just one big ass map that you can traverse on foot / mount.

- a game that is not one of the following - Ultima Online, Shadowbane EMU, SWG, Darkfall, EvE Online, Rappelz, Archlord, Mortal Online, Faces of Mankind, Fallen Earth, League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, Guild Wars 1 (or 2), Anarchy Online, Aion, Allods, Runes of Magic. Most of those I've played at least for X time (not counting Guild Wars 2 which isn't out yet) and while some do offer certain aspects of my list, most only have just that, a few.

Now most likely, there isn't a game that offers my criteria, but it never hurts to ask. As I said, I ask about once every year or so, see if theres a game out there Ive over looked.

I think Perpetuum has most of what you're asking for.  Check it out here: http://www.perpetuum-online.com/

You said no Darkfall...but its the only one worth playing with all you want from a game, its not perfect but among all its the best overall.

Not much is known about this game, but it looks like it could be good. Its called Earthrise

I know you said P2P MMO but i've got a good F2P MMO that meets all of you're criteria and is very pvp orrientated.. The only safe zones are in towns and everyone is fair game to kill at lv 40.. Open loot does exist if you start killing enough people in the faction you are in you're name will go red and each time you die you have a random % chance of dropping gear or something in you're inventory..

 

Heres my review - http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/297539/Detailed-Review-after-a-few-months-of-playing-HOTK.html

 

It starts off slow and mostly PvE orrientated but at lv40 open pvp takes place and you're fair game to anyone.. Theres 3 factions to choose from.. At lv 51 you start fighting in massive 100v100 battles for guild ran territory and slowly gain control of the map and earn taxes by takeing more land.. Also you get a player/legion ran base that you build a farm in, build towers and defenses inside, and go to war with others.. It's possible to infiltrate other peoples bases too and steal farm goods from..

There are 16 different classes to chose from and then when you hit 60 you can pick a sub class from another weapon which means theirs 100+ class combos pretty much and each class has a speciality tree simular to WoW's that you can customize and you also get attributes to add on to you're character and customize them further.

 

Only down fall, as i said, is that the first 39 levels are pretty much all PvE.. The PvE isn't bad and you can hit 40 within a week or so.. Its defiantly worth it to get to the higher levels and another good thing about HOTK is the cash shop is completley optional most people in my legion never use it..

 

Another game as someone mentioned is Prepetuum.. I played open beta and it's a very good game and the pvp seems like it'd be fun.. But it is VERY simular to EvE, if you hated EvE then 99% chance you'll hate Prepetuum.
