Hello, what is the best mmo with pvp? Would like it to also have good pve to
thank you
Comments
Its all opinion based, and you give no info and what you like.
As far as PVP goes the best games are probably EVE, WAR, AoC. Those are just the current ones. My favorite PVP mmo was DAoC but with its very low population it wouldnt be worth it to start playing again
PvP games with PVE aspects are all the ones i just mentioned there but you could try WoW out if you havent already. Thats more of a pve game with pvp added. Class balancing needs working on in pvp in that game...a lot.
Just do some searching and look for MMO's that suit your interests. Then research them to see what people are saying about it. You might have a 10 day trial, which i know there are some for i think all of those games ive listed, so give it a shot.
Dark Age Of Camelot - Forever it seems.
The MMO with the best PvP I've played is Infantry. Unfortunately, the game is all but dead now, and doesn't have the playerbase needed to make most of the zones playable.
If you want good PvP that you can do today, perhaps try Guild Wars. That's the only MMORPG I'm aware of to have PvP that isn't dominated by higher levels, better gear, and/or having more players on your side in the area.
as to pvp game, i come to guild wars and shadow of legend, both feature open pvp.matching, joining in the guilds, running to do challenging quest or guilds VS guilds give ppl lots of fun . and in the shadow of legend, running duel in arena not only gives bragging right, but also honor points,which can be exchanged for items in the item mall. hope this two will help.
For FFA PvP, a lot of people suggest UO or EVE.
For RVR, DAoC seems to be the most highly regarded.
There is no best 'PvP MMO' because there is a wide range of views of what is the 'best' PvP. I like FFA full-loot PvP with territory control. The next guy may like battlegrounds and low risk. The next one may settle for nothing less than D2 Nightmare mode. It's too varied to say any one MMO is the best for PvP.
Post what type you like and there'll probably be plenty of viable suggestions for you.
- RPG Quiz - can you get all 25 right?
- FPS Quiz - how well do you know your shooters?
Hmm... I'm also interested in full loot
Basically what the above guy said. There are a couple of different styles of PVP and there are rulers in each class.
In the battlegrounds pvp section, where 2 sides are automatically balanced in numbers and fight in a closed arena type setting, I would say Guild Wars rules supreme. WoW is a distant second in this category, its certainly not as balanced, but it is a better option if you want a game where the PVE is solid as well.
In RVR/world pvp section, in my opinion WAR holds the best cards. DAoC is solid as well but has the problem like UO that its graphics have become very dated. WoW is a distant second in this category (not counting DAoC), especially Wintergrasp improved mass world pvp enjoyement. WoW is a better option if you want your PVE game to be solid as well, but if you don't care about PVE, WAR wins hands down.
In the FFA PVP section the players are UO, AOC, EVE and now Darkfall online. UO is probably to dated in graphics now to be enjoyable for a lot of people. Eve has a solid FFA game, but you must like the idea of battling in spaceships and not seeing your character. AoC has a solid FFA game, though "hardcore purists" wilI find the lack of full loot disheartening, and dont know about Darkfall since opinions seem to be divided at this point and I've never tried it myself.
Ah in that case:
UO if graphics aren't important to you.
EVE if you like the idea of PVP in a spaceship.
And you might want to keep an eye on Darkfall. Theres so much hype surrounding this title that at this point its hard to ascertain wether Darkfall is a solid title though, you might want to wait a few weeks/months till the dust is settled and more reviews come in.
For best small scale PvP it'd be silly to not mention GuildWars. We're talking about a very dynamic, rich, and balanced class system after all.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
So from the well known ones there are EVE, Ultima Online, Shadowbane, Darkfall. (Pirates od the Burning Sea, not sure now)
If you mean MMOFPS too, then Planetside and WorldWar II online.
id honestly put lineage 2 up there, even though many people claim its skills were broken and hate that game...i thought the castle sieges and open world pvp was actually pretty solid.

Is there anymore? mmofps would be ok too.
For PvP yeah Guild Wars hands down has the best PvP at the moment. The PvE is feels kind of like a party based offline LAN RPG.
Ragnarok Online has good PvP as well in the form of War of Emperium. Basically there are limited castles in the game world which guilds fight for. Obtaining a castle will give the guild rewards in the form of income via super rares and items only obtainable via castles each castle having unique items.
If you're looking for PK the only popular game on the market right now which has good PvE in it as well is Lineage II. This game has been infamous to western gamers for what has been percieved as insane exponential grind however the recent update has added a sort of vitality system which will speed up leveling time described to be between 3-5 times faster so you can reach the level where mose moderate (not hardcore) players are at within a month or two. Also this game releases 3-4 major updates for free which other games would call "expansion packs" and charge for.
Edit: Oh you want full loot ey... well theres one thing i have to say about that. Full loot games at present are one of two things. Very dated game (Does not mean its crap) or very unpolished.
Full loot games that I know of:
Ultima Online
Players now have a choice to play in Full Loot areas or "Safe Areas" this is also the game where the term usage of "Carebear" originated from.
Shadowbane
This is probably what you're looking for also an extremely dated game, recently became free to play. In this game not only is there full loot, you can actually take over the world. However when I last played most of the servers were controlled by this one same unstoppable immense clan.
Darkfall
I have not played this yet and it is hard to obtain a copy of this game so I cannot comment formally however from what I have read and watched the only way I can describe this game to a person who has not played a sandbox styled non-leveling MMO is that this is MMO Elderscrolls (Arena/Daggerfall/Morrowind/Oblivion).
I have to agree.
Guild Wars has an absolutely fantastic PVP system. PVE though is a joke... you can level cap in a day, and then its basically "make money for the rarest items" game.... after you unlock all your skills of course. That said, the PVP aspect and missions (IMO the only worthwhile PVE content) are very well done. Take my advice with a grain of salt, I haven't played GW in about 1 1/2 years now... perhaps the PVE has improved.
To be honest, what bugs me most about Guild Wars is that it's almost completely instanced... I absolutely hate not having an open world that I can explore. It's completely linear... I'd probably still be playing if it wasn't for that, apparently Guild Wars 2 WILL be more open and oh boy Ill be playing from day one
Them's fight'n word's around ere!
but you could try;
RF Online: Sci-Fi: F2P PvE RvR PvP (Item shop)

hope it helps!
r00nscape imo :P. It used to have a full loot system, but now its some gimp loot system
Currently restarting World of Warcraft
Addicted to pvp mmo, i choose shadow of legend to be my favorite.
No matter i'm in camp or facing the opposite ppls, we can start pvp whenever we like. Another amazing point is that, an item called "Marauding Flavorant", allows you to fight anybody from players to NPCs, and take their dropped items. Be warned though, when using the "Marauding Flavorant", any player or NPC will also be able to attack you.
