If PVP is the most important thing to you in a MMORPG then the Lord of the Rings Online is highly unlikely to be the game for you. The PVP occurs in one small zone between level 65 Monster players (creeps) and level 45-65 Free People (freeps) players.
On average, level 45-60 freeps are at a significant disadvantage against creeps if alone and not Hunter or Rogue. If Hunter or Rogue you better be good. Even in groups lower level freeps will probably die first.
Free to play players cannot be creeps. Creeps have no equipment slots and cannot choose armor or weapons. They do have use of some potions. There are some players who solely play as creeps though.
Solo pvp is almost non-existant.
OH good to know , i dont like that style then
Damn LOTRO would be so much better had the game had PvP
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
It does have PvP, see the wiki link. What they don't do is have normal player characters in PvP against each other. It really wouldn't make sense in the story, and to be honest it is really, really nice to play a MMO where classes aren't constantly being nerfed due to PvP issues.
I dont see why not. They have them in LoTRC
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
Because in LOTRC you choose to play "eight levels for the forces of good and eight levels as the armies of Sauron." The armies of Sauron in LoTRO are the "creeps" mentioned above. The "freeps" are the forces of good. So you get PvP, you get good vs. evil. It appears to be a system that works and doesn't alter PvE gameplay. I'm not sure why you would see this as a bad thing.
Also, from reading your post and watching videos of LOTRC it looks like that is the game you're really looking for, not so much LOTRO.
i know if lotro had real pvp i wouldnt doubt it , i dont know which game to play
ive tryed wow and dont feel like playing it again
Yea PVP is horrible IMO on this game, but there are plenty of PVP games on the market. Naming just a few Eve, Darkfall, WAR(though not a game I like honestly), etc.
