What happened to the thief?

I'm in search of a new game and after looking at my choices I've noticed one thing. There is no thief! Every game has its rogue class but I want to play a thief like from the old UO days. I don't want to steal from mobs I want to steal from players, and I want players to be able to attack me and defend their things. Was UO the last game to do this? Are there any games out there with a thief class and open or close to open pvp? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I can't think of any game that has what you're looking for. The game devs are too busy making all these EQ clones.
I would love to play as a proper thief though..
A thief that could steal from anywhere/anyone. A thief that wouldn't only steal from npcs but from real players also. A thief that has it's rewards but also has high risk involved.
Yeah. We're doing that.
But if you don't have the skill... a player might turn around and whack you upside the head real good. ;-)

Information on the website and on mmorpg.com, it will have open PvP and real thiefs.
If most players don't like open PVP, they'd hate other players being able to walk up and take the things that they've worked hard for. Personally, I think it could only work with open PVP and it get rid of all those players playing AFK. It'd be a hell of a lot of fun, too. It's just as fun as killing people and looting their corpses, without making them your mortal enemy. But I don't think any mainstream game would have it... wusses.

They had full PvP and thieves back when I played so I assume they still do.
As for Darkfall... I think he's probably looking for a game that has a release date set in this century. Other than that... yeah, Darkfall is supposed to have both, too, and all sorts of other cool stuff. A few weeks ago they started Clan Beta "preparations" (whatever that means) according to an email they sent me, but I didn't see any date. So who knows? Maybe they'll actually release the game before I die of old age.
The Realm had a true thief character, not sure if it still does since I have not played it since 1997. Back then a thief could break into someone's house and steal all their belongings if they didn't take certain precautions. Was mad fun. The game itself is outdated because of 2D graphics though.

i'm mixed on this type of thing. while i think it would be cool to steal and attack other players like you could in real life and like what happens in books/movies, i'd hate to lose that awesome item i just spent 3 days trying to get.
now, if they did what i mentioned in another thread, players don't get magic or awesome items until way later in the game, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. i just don't want to lose the items i spent so much time trying to get.
