5 Reasons Why Dark Age of Camelot is Still the Best PvP Game Ever - The List - MMORPG.com
Games have evolved, mechanics have been created, and graphics will continue to get better. Game theory remains the same. Dark Age of Camelot was an MMO that sometimes gets overshadowed by Everquest and World of Warcraft. It was made on the East Coast, which for video games is rare. However, it offered a PvP system which has now spread into every aspect of online gaming today. Here are five reasons why this system was the best ever created.

Everything was built around the greater war effort. It wasn't an add on. It was a game around 3 factions engaged in a war, and it showed in every facet.

There wasn't enough incentive to not die, and endless keep trading wasn't of interest much to me.
I eventually spent far more time on the FFA red server Mordred, preferring its more guild vs the server approach, as well as unlimited access to the entire game world, races, and classes regardless of faction.

The "successor game" hmm….I guess that's better than a "spiritual successor" or is it worse?
We talked about this on another thread, how long it can take in PvP to level up for PvP, how you don't really get an idea of what the class is like in pvp until too late. Looks like once again, DAOC beat the rest of the MMO world to it!
Players would invest in the best gear and enchantments they could find. It was a very competitive BG. Good times.
Really hoping that CU can deliver something even half as good because, sadly, I've never seen anything close to DAoC's RvR.

Possibly the best thing about DAoC was that they actively sought to make changes to correct some of these oversights. Too many of these 'corrections' were initially in the form of PvP abilities bought with Realm points, earned in successful PvP action. Eventually, fixes to specific problems drifted down to the class levels. Mythic was aggressive in improving the game.
I'd love to see a bigger version of DAoC, 5 realms instead of 3. I'm not sure if we're quite ready to deal with 300 vs 300 vs 300 vs 300 vs 300 fights yet. Or if a single product could attract a player base of 15,000 people per server to allow for reasonable population around the clock in 5 different factions.
I pretty much had moved on before Darkness Falls and the battlegrounds were introduced. My gaming focus drifted on to other things, and it was the only game I never really quit because of something I didn't like about the game.

"And yet the devs had no understanding of how overpowered stealth was in their game. That was the deal-breaker for me quitting DAOC PVP."
I'm guessing he played a caster that thought he should be able to beat, 1 on 1, a character class whose entire purpose was to kill solo players. The patches that gave casters the ability solo kill just about everyone is what killed the game... well, that and age.
ArcheAge did a decent job at a PvP focused game but killed it with their double dipping and horrific regrade system.
Maybe say best morpg PvP game because this don't hold a candle to true high skill ceiling games like league and fortnite....still it wouldn't even come close to PvP on Ultima free servers and og Ultima...not even a chance....
They had all day testing events on this past sat and fri.

You must have sucked at PvP to have so many problems against stealth classes that you quit a game.
I still have PTSD nightmares of battles in Thidranki... that level 15-20 RvR was always hopping.
