whats a good game for a pvper?

Jokerdb

i havnt found a game that i really liked since uo went down the shitter.  I played daoc when it first came out and wasnt too impressed, and the need for a massive group in shadowbane didnt really appeal to me either. Im looking for a good game where one can pvp without relying on group member's support. so whats for me?

Although not the best in pvp but its unique in it own way the battle system is turn based too so it can be fun give www.realmserver.com a try.

shadowbane is basically all pvp, but most ppl dont like it, theres a trial though. daoc is pretty heave on pvp later in the game, and its pretty damn fun, to me anyway.

*edit*

damn, guess i should of read the 1st post before i posted... duh me. sry

joker there is no such game exept ou that you can solo pvp sorry to say.

Incorrect; There is a game that has been out for years that has been virtually ignored by the american mmorpg market. It has wonderful PvP, an awesome castle system that taxes towns, and extremely close guilds, but otherwise it's horrible; bad gameplay, bad PvM, and is extremely redundant. On the flipside, though, there comunity is very tight and and PvP is addicting.

Meridian 59 is oldschool UO PvP just in first person view still has all the open PvP aspects UO used to have and a great comunication system that makes waring even better.  If ur a hardcore PvPer u will not be dissapointed.

Came out same time as UO so graphics arnt the greatest but they are getting a facelift like on "Work In Progress" to see new graphics engine.

SB has the most balance PvP system I've seen yet.  I thought the game was allot of fun, and would recommend it to anyone that doesn't have 40-80 hours to week to play and enjoys PvP. I only stopped playing due to all the SB.exe errors. (They should be corrected now). You can play it free for 10 days.

I'm not sure why you didn't feel SB wasn't for you. But PvP is something most RPG's can't stand, so few games will ever implament it well. Your options are limited, prehaps lineage.

I hated shadowbane myself .I found the game totally boring and with horrible programming.

But it is just  my view.Everyone got their taste.

I suggest DAoC for the fact that you can logout saying it was a nice day no matter the outcome and actually leave with your beloved stuff still on you

lineage is pretty kick ass game but i think they need to work on the avatars i mean running around with a character thats looks like everyone else is kinda lame they need to make the armor graphical when worn.other than thats its fun but i get just as much enjoyment from diablo2.

ViolentY

The graphics were originally like that to reduce the heavy lag during sieges (Sieges back in beta would have about 100+ people crammed into a castle thrown room, casting spells and drinking potions all at once; not to mention the fact that it was played overseas.), but are now creating more sprite files for different armor appearances.

You have to remember UO,lineage,realm,AC were all made at a time when there was 1 race and little variations.

This games are not new and EQ in 1999 was pretty much a revloutionary game in terms of the graphics.It was a real huge leap forward.

Linage was released in October 25, 2001. Sprites were dying a painful death in the US during this time. (expect D2)

EQ was hardly revolutionary on graphics Doom2, Quake and Half Life had been out for sometime. I suppose you could say EQ had revolutionary graphics a MMORPG... but why not say Liange had the best graphics of any MMORPG that was made in Korea and released on Oct 25?

What made EQ revolutionary wasn't it graphics. It was best executed concept of a MMORPG during that time.

I think the best thing i lineage was the smooth music i loved the music.But other than that it was too diablo like now if diablo ever decided to get off the battle.net and make it a full server and patch it turn it into more of a mmorpg diablo would most likely rule the market in mmorpgs lol.But ill problably invest into some lineage something is telling me to give it a run.

I would consider The Myth of Soma if you want a game where you can PvP solo.It is a gr8 game but requires a hell of a lot of time spent lvling before your actually in the top 500 strongest people in the game.The game has one of the best communities ive ever seen and because there are only around 600 regular players most people get to know eachother and u get a reputation quite easilly.

DAoC is awesome for pvp

its especially fun when you own CK, and your sitting up there with a bow and arrows....

RVR IS AWESOME!

DAoC requires no skill, all's you need is a buff bot and your good to go.

Explain that a bit. What do you mean by "skill"?

Are you really saying all you needed was buffs than you could do anything without repercussions? Are the buffs a marco that plays the game for you?

If this is the case, what did you do when your opponent also has buffs?

I think he ment that DAOC dosnt take skill, it takes superior firepower/buffs. Wich 99% of all mmorpgs do.

I haven't tried Realm versus Realm but i hear good things..

Well, they are not really not really RPG, but Counter Strike and Battlefield 1942 are one of the best shooters IMO.
