Hi, I’ve been  testing many mmo’s recently and haven’t found one that really “fit”. Yea I looked at the sticky but that didn’t help much.

My criteria:

1) balanced pvp for all lvls (AKA the old runescape where a lvl 40 stands a chance against lvl 50’s etc and has some form of pk/duels)

2) not extremely item based pvp, so I don’t have to fork out tons of cash shop to start

3) F2P

4) Not a huge grind til the balanced pvp (post amt time if you can please)

that’s about it :o, fantasy preffered

 

so far I’ve tried gw, flyff, sho, PW (don’t really feel like waiting on NA servers… and MY is lag),  Nostale

 

thanks for any suggestions

 

If you're into full PvP with no PvE involved I would look into the game Fury. Its F2P and its all PvP based. I'll copy and paste the features from the actual website they explain the game the best lol.

	PvP combat focused - every development decision is made with the goal of providing players the ultimate Player vs. Player experience.
	Combat with the exciting pace of an FPS game, and the strategic depth and character development of an RPG.
	A dynamic matchmaking system that ensures players always fight opponents of equal skill and experience.
	Classless advancement system for ultimate flexibility means no more gimping your character or being constrained to a specific set of abilities. In Fury you don't choose a class - you define your own!
	Fury provides instant action to catch your attention, and the meaningful depth to hold it.
	A core system of Ladders and Tournaments that allows clans and solo players to prove their skill.
	There are over 400 abilities, each with 10 available ranks providing near endless possibilities for character advancement and achievement.
	Fury is an MMO that you can actually achieve things in during your lunch hour.
	Challenge system for battling friends, group mates or clan mates, either for practice or for bragging rights.
	This ultimate next-generation game is built on Unreal Engine 3.

Let me know if you are interested, if not I'll try to point you in a different direction.

if you can forgive the graphics, check out shadowbane

Id say fury, too.  Havent played it but its a solely pvp game.  Its really not an mmorpg, though, its more of an MMOTPS(third person shooter).  I hear shadowbane is good for pvp, but the game is dead.  Guild Wars is a pvp centric game too, and there isnt much of a grind, you must pay for the initial box though.

I tried Shadowbane and I was instantly turned off by it lol. I don't remember what turned me off, its been a while, but it wasn't a game for me. I don't know though, you should probably check it out if Fury isn't your thing.
