Don't fall for GW2. The mechanics are absolutely generic and boring. If you're looking for good PvP this is NOT your game.

MMORPG sucks nowadays.

Back then Lineage 2 was the real shit, though it might require too much grinding but hey that's part of the MMO life.

Eve. Period.
But getting into that game is like climbing the K2 with one leg tied to your right arm.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

If you liked vanilla WoW, you can still try it on private servers (its free too). The feenix server is pretty much bug free at this point I think and pretty good ( search for wow-one ). Im playing on their tbc 2.4.3 server and its pretty good and im having a ton of fun with the pvp (I really liked tbc arenas).

Ive yet to find an MMO that is even comparable mechanic-wise to WoW, there are so many mmos with retarded combat systems.

and even if you ignore the combatsystem (instant attacks that arent instant because of stupid attackanimations etc)

there are only battlegrounds and masspvping which turns everything into sluggish clusterfucks and massslaughtering...

Id love an mmo with a decent combatsystem where instant spells actually are instant, and where one can compete in terms of 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 etc but not enormous 40v40 battles.

edit: ps (yes I did love some of wow:wotlk and some of the tbc arena).

EVE and GW definitely. Depends on what you like more (apart from the setting obviously). GW has the advantage strictly from PvP perspective as it allows you to create a max level character with good gear right off the bat (but you can only use this character in PvP, can't enter PvE areas with it) and then unlock more skills and items through PvP (or simulations with AI). It also has nice in-built observer mode which lets you watch ongoing tournaments and even some past ones if I remember correctly.

If you'd like to see how good PvP looks like in GW with good commentary to boot you should visit GWGApok's channel @ YouTube.

EvE Online. Because you can do PvP in small ships since day 1, and have fun with it. Or you can tech all the way up to capitals and stay all day docked and checking / trolling forums while waiting for the next fleet OP.
A victorious warrior wins first, then goes to war. A defeated warrior goes to war and then seeks to win.

PvP is always a matter of taste anyway.

I'll just chuck another voice in for Dark Souls. It's not strictly MMO, but combat is great.

Dude. You should check out C9, Continent of the Ninth. Youtube it. SICK pvp, skillbased, aim with mouse for all spells, dodge. I had so much fun with it til I reached a point where i got slaughtered by the competition, and was too bad / not enough patience to get better.

If you can somehow get into original GW, that's probably the best bet although it's gonna be really fucking hard now.

For all the complaining we did as a community years back when they still actively balanced the game, they were actually very close to getting all their shit right. Closer than any other game I can think off.

It's not a MMO, strictly or not. Not even close.

i dont understand why people always look for "pvp mmo with skillbased combat where skill>items" when there are games like dota.


Only reason for mmo pvp is the persistancy, which is why daoc and eve are the best pvp mmos for me.

Completely different types of PvP. If you had played both of these games you would know that you can't even compare them.

Because Dota is nothing like that. Your individual skill with your abilities in Dota has very little influence on how you do in a fight at any stage of the game, how you do is decided by your items/hero which in turn depend on your team and how the team has performed. You're not going to beat an anti-mage with decent items as crystal maiden just because you're good at crystal maiden.

You have to take it down to basics on a whole new level to properly compare MMO PvP to Dota, MMO PvP is all about a group of people using a ton of abilities in various ways to do combat, MOBA is all about how you handle the various points in the game and develop your team composition (what items you get, what strategy you decide to use). It's not mutually exclusive at all. Someone who wants an MMO PvP game is probably not interested at all in farming CS.
