Looking for an mmorpg that fits, please help if you can
Well I am an long time mmorpg player. I was living in the dream of being able to play f2p games and be able to achieve stuff while paying only a little amount of money. Well thats just not true. There are a bunch of games out there I tried and all of them are pretty expensive (more than p2p ones). I made my calculations, and yeah p2p games worth it way more, just take Allods for example.. I could spend the amount of a 1 year WoW subscription in a day and still my char wouldnt compete with the best players out there. Thus I started looking into P2P games, but guess what, I just cannot find one that ppl truly say it does worth it. WoW getting outdated, so does Lineage 2, Aion is not that popular if I am right and Rift already has palyers leaving and I could go on with this.. You obviously see that I like wow and Allods type of games, of course I like RvR, and regular PvP. I am not that much into PvE but i dont mind doing quests and stuff, it is fun too but it wont keep me entertained as much as good PvP does. So I ask you kindly, please help me find a decent game because I really want to have some nice mmorpg experience but I cannot seem to find a good game to play.

I'm not a PvP guy at all, but maybe check out Warhammer Online, or Darkfall?
By what you explained about your gaming preferences and what you have played, I think Warhammer Online (WAR) will probably be your game at the moment. It is PvP focused (RvR, sieges, Open PvP and battleground-type PvP, also PvP levelling even all the way to max level without any PvE if you want to) but it also has PvE. It is not a MMO that I can stick with for months and months, but for some people it is, maybe you are one.
It also has a free trial where you can play the first tier (of a total of 4) with no time limit in case you just want to try it.
If you have already played WAR and you didn't like it (of you try it and don't like it), you could also try Fallen Earth, very good game with deep PvE, crafting, harvesting, good combat system with no autotarget, huge open world, some light RvR (factions vs factions) and instanced PvP too.
I checked Darkfall, while it is unique, I could not say I like what I saw. Warhammer I never really checked, ppl do complain its dead but I don't know the truth about that tho.
I don't play it atm, but I can tell you that it is not dead. Tier 1 and tier 4 are probably quite populated, and tier 2 and tier 3 might be less populated but in no way deserted, and if you join a group of players, it will be even better (like in any mmo...).
Can only agree with the above posters. It really depends on what style of game you like really. Warhammer online is very pick up and play and has decent pvp from the start. Darkfall has a much steaper learning curve but is more like the wild west in a game. Don't expect any handholding. I get the fealing you are not intrested in older games if you are not looking at WoW.
Actually my best experience was KnightOnlineWorld which is 2D. But thats a cash shop game aswell. I said that WoW is outdated etc. because if i pay monthly I really want quality for my money. But I wouldnt say that older games does not interest me.
Give DAoC a whirl on a free trial. It's old, but everyone who likes RvR should at least have tried this game once in their life!
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

In that case WoW is worth a look, just for drop in bg's and pvp servers. It may be dated and it is def not my cup of tea anymore but it still runs smoother than anything else out there. As slapshot above me says also Daoc is well worth a little look. It is very very dated but in my opinion still the best RvR game ever made
Wait, so you're looking for a F2P PvP game, right? Have you tried Aika? http://aika.t3fun.com/Home/Home.aspx
It's a short download, so you might want to try it. It's F2P, and you don't need to buy anything from the cash shop. The most-bought item there is just the Extracts which prevent your equips from breaking while reinforcing. Good thing is, you can reach a high refine for your equips without ever using those.

Well actually I am looking for a good P2P game, I had enough of f2p games, and I do bealieve Aika at the end will be pay to win just like all of the f2p games.
Well I was looking into DAoC and Warhammer Online, so far Warhammer online seems pretty good. What do you guys really think, is it a good choice?
I played it at launch and then quit shortly afterwards before reaching the end of the PAINFULLY long grind to T4. Espacially after they made it a Gear based game. (A guy with top end gear and a guy with slightly lower gear at the same level is so one sided it's not even funny.) Which ultimately turned it into a worse game than it already was.
You may enjoy to a small degree the Endless trial for the game. But beware there are the same issues there. With some players having nearly god-like equipment that no trial only player can ever get. (This is done by using Ultra rare quality level 40 enchantment/enhancements on r10 gear. Giving them level 25+ gear basically in level 10 fights.)
So is short order, no. It's not worth it, not even with it being free.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
That being said, Warhammer is only F2P in Tier 1. In my opinion, they should extend it to Tier 2 at least. That's where the fun starts, T2 and T3 are the best. T1 is completely ruined by f2p twinks stuck there for so long that they can get insane gear.
I am almost afraid to say it but I am thinking about WoW. There is just no other game that does worth the effort.
