Looking for huge PvP seiges
Hello,
First of all, I do have actually very little knowledge about all the different MMO's out there, so I hope you can help me with my search. (Hope this is the right section of the board)
I'm looking for a MMORPG with:
- Prefer nice (3D) graphics
- Prefer medieval / fantasy setting
- Kind of player driven cities (so you can have for example an own house in a city made by players, where clans for example rule) (no NPC's would be even the best)
- You can be and learn whatever you want (become a knight or maybe a blacksmith (so crafting system very prefered))
- Sandbox gamestyle (I do not want to follow a storyline or what so ever)
- Most important: lots of PvP --> with huge PvP battles (to fight over other castles/cities made by players) with for example 200 vs 200 players
- Prefer as less PvE as possible
Is there any game which meet my requirements or maybe something similair to it?
Thanks in advance!

There isn't any game like that. Actualy I have no idea what game suggest to you.
Rift/Age of Conan - there is a lot of building of homes and bases
GW2 - huge pvp battles but not in your own-built castle
UO - sandbox, pvp, pvp, pvp
MSI GE70 - i7-4700MQ, GeForce GT 750M, 8gb ram, 750gb 7200RPM HDD and 128gb SSD
Omg!
Except for the medieval setting you're pretty much describing Starwars Galaxies, but, unfortunately it doesn't exist anymore.
As far as I know, the game you're asking for with all those requests combined, it doesn't exist. I think you have to pick something that you prefer and what you can live without. It should make it easier.
Those were the games I was thinking too, except maybe add Darkfall as well? I never played it, but from what I understand it seems to have a lot of the features that the OP was requesting.

I have never tried it as well. But from youtube videos which I have seen it is only about pvp. Your group meets other group. I might be wrong, so don't throw stones on me :-)))
btw this year should be Albion online released. It has all the features you mentioned except huge battles. I think +- 30vs30 will be max.

I'd give that a shot, roll your character on Blackgate or Jade Quarry. Those are the 2 big servers.
Shadowbane had all that.
Wasn't the nicest graphics, but I went back to look at screen shots the other day and they weren't as bad as I had remembered. It had Diablo style controls rather than FPS and that put a lot of people off, but it made city building and sieges pretty fun to manage.
They'll not release a game like that again. Everyone's too protective of their puny ideas.
a yo ho ho
Sounds a lot like Black Desert but thats a year or two off.
Archeage is also very similar
Archeage would be the best choice.
Second best choice would be darkfall
Thank you all for your super nice suggestions !!
I will check all of them, and will try some. This really helped me

On a first look, I like these games the most (although not yet played):
- GW2
- Darkfall
- Black Desert
- ArcheAge
- Albion (kind of graphics that reminds me a bit of LoL, and I like that)
Don't like UO at all because of the graphics (maybe it's a very cool game, but I won't even try it due to the graphics :P)
I've tried Rift for a few hours (trailer looked awesome) but I got the feeling it was only quest after quest after quest, don't like that too much.
I read a lot of negative comments for Darkfall Unholy Wars on Steam, and that I definitely should not buy it.. but also many postive comments so I will keep this game in mind (although I don't like the monthly fee...)
Black Desert, ArcheAge and Albion are not yet released for as far as I've seen... that's really too bad. Especially Black Desert and ArcheAge seemed REALLY nice to me.
GW2 is also still an option, I really like the idea of World vs. World battles, I will definitely check this game out but since this game comes with a price (luckily no monthly fee) I actually hope BD and ArcheAge will release soon!
Right now I'm downloading Age of Conan to give it a try.
If you still have other suggestions, let me know!
Played: Ultima Online - DaoC - WoW -
In general you are right, there are two points that make Darkfall a bad choice for the OP:
> - Most important: lots of PvP --> with huge PvP battles (to fight over other castles/cities made by players)
> with for example 200 vs 200 players
> - Prefer as less PvE as possible
The game just got completely overhauled. Now it's a full loot title with a strong active pve grind for everything. Before the updates I was pvping every day, was (pvp) raiding every day. And it was amazing fun. Then the big PVE grind updates came and ever since I was forced to mostly PVE until I decided to quit because it was just too boring to grind on these dumb, bugged, brain dead mobs. I bought the game for PVP not to die of boredom on some lonely PVE spot and then still not have enough gear for the sieges on the weekend.
Yes, PVP still happens, it just got a bit rarer. 200 vs 200 is utopic though. A good siege in DFUW has far less players, if 100 total show up then it's usually being called an "epic" siege already. There are also a few small scale fights around certain pve spots, but don't expect much out of it, most of the spots that I visited were player free, the grind was boring as hell and usually without any surprises. If PVP happened it was of the "one guy had low stats and died fast after getting surprised" type.
If grind is not scaring you, check it out though. The grind is the only part that I really dislike about DFUW, the 8 months before the games focus moved from PVP to PVE was the best fun that I had in years.
I do have a suggestion that will satisfy everything there except the medieval/fantasy setting: Eve Online.
-3D graphics: Definitely
-Player driven cities: More like player-driven solar systems and starbases. Look up players living in Wormhole space and Nullsec Sovereignty.
-Be and learn whatever you want: Eve is completely unequaled at this for any game I've ever played or heard of. Simply by switching ships and equipment you can completely change your roles; the only thing limiting you is if you've spent the time to train the skills needed for that particular ship/role. And as for crafting, the economy is about 95% player-run, i.e. other than a couple of critical base items like skillbooks, blueprint originals and rare faction equipment, everything you can buy or sell will be transactions with players who have mined, built or stolen the items in question.
-Sandbox gamestyle: This is the benchmark sandbox game that other sandboxes always get compared to (and almost always fail to measure up against).
-Most important, lots of PvP to fight over other castles/cities made by players with for example 200 vs 200 players:...hee hee, *snigger*, oh boy are you in for a treat. Try 2000 vs 2000 at some times, fighting months-long wars over large sectors of space, involving all of the bases in multiple star systems all of which can either be blown up or stolen. See the aforementioned Nullsec Sovereignty system. Big warning though: Eve has semi-permadeath. With only a couple of precautions you likely won't lose your skills (think experience points, kind-of), but your ship and almost everything on it goes kapoof when you die, with the rest usually being stolen from the wreck by other players.
-Prefer as less PvE as possible: You only PvE if you choose to. Many players do as it is both a decent source of income and the central way to make a heavy player-killing Pirate less bad in the eyes of the in-game police, so you don't get shot on sight in the higher security safe areas.
Have a look, take a read through some of the manuals, and you can do a free 21 day trial to get your feet wet and see if you like it. Good luck

Where's the any key?
