DAoC has the best PvP system with its unique RvR setup. I played Eve for over 6 months and WoW for a little less and both pale in comparison.
Nothing is more exciting than helping smash down an enemies Keep door while they are inside setting up boiling oil to pour down on you. Then you hear the shout from one of your group "OIL!!!!!" and you ditch the Ram and run like a girl until you can take them out.
The fact you can watch the status of the RvR world in DAoC from the DAoC Herald website also adds to its success.
Originally posted by -Xaero- Shadowbane is the only real PvP game on the market. Everything else is RvR. Your forced to work with others that you cant PK in RvR.
You obviusly never tried eve or lineage2... and RvR is PvP too...
He is right though. ShadowBane is the only hardcore PvP game out there (dont even make me laugh and suggest Guild Wars). One on one...group...RvR...it has it all.
Im about to go back to SB after at least 2 years because its what Im craving.

PvP games like Sims and WoW?? rofl well yea EVE online is Really great pvp but sims and WoW?
The original Unreal Multiplayer... Tribes... Quake Deathmatch...
And when I think of those I think of FPS, twitch-based combat. Putting my spells/attacks in the right order to defeat my opponent and countering when necessary, but at the speed of brain processes. A fight can be over in 2 hours, 2 minutes, or 2 seconds.
I've been looking for a new MMO lately as well and the only one, the ONLY game that has the PvP style that I truly enjoy... wait for it... wait for it...
Neocron
FPS + RPG + A little MMO
The lack of population and network bugs are dragging the game down, but there is NO OTHER GAME OUT THERE that has the combination of:
- First Person Shooter - Skill Based Attack/Defense Setups - Twitch Based Combat - PvP based on Player Setup, Item Setup, and FPS Skill
Many upcoming games look like they might be in this genre of PvP (Twilight War, Fallen Earth, Huxley, etc)... but their releases are very far off.
Despite my frustration for the game (and every ex-NC player will be here to bash it, but it's only because they played for 2-3 years before they finally left :P) - Neocron's PvP is the closest thing to Counterstrike-like PvP with RPG, Skill-Based Characters.

DAoC is a clear winner in the PvP stakes.
