EVE online hands down.  Enough so that a lot people spend their entire time in-game being system pirates, anti-pirates, or members of factional warfare or a private corporate war.

If DAoC had a larger player base and better graphics I would try it.

Guild Wars for PvP.


DAoC for RvR pvp.

I'm downloading the Guild Wars trial again, last time I quit immediately because I couldn't jump.

Guild Wars is more about the skills and less about the "jumping around." Still I second Guild Wars and Warhammer for PvP.

I played Warhammer for a few months and didn't like it.

Wait.  Your asking a loaded question here.

You've set boundaries in your question so that the answer can be of only 5 games.

i very rarely reply to any threads but the best PvP game in terms of skill over another player is DAoC, the graphics arent bad tbh, i always find myself coming back to this game and the population is just fine on the US servers, mainly Killbury cluster. Never ever played a game like it when with a bit of thought a healer type can take town a tank type etc if played extremely well.

Currently playing : Nothing
AoC: 43 Guardian- Phuse<inactive>
DAoC: 6 x 50's. All RR5+<inactive>
DAoC: Lamorak-Alb & EU Excal/Prydwen
WoW: Phusion 55 Hunter<inactive>
EVE: Phuse 6mill SP<inactive>

If you're a good player, just put together the right build depending on who you face in your group and you never have to jump again. :)

There are plenty of builds to choose from that counter other builds.


In WAR, doesn't matter what kind of build you have, when they open up that can of PBAE or AoE, you're going down.

"Femmmes Fatales - The Power of the Feminine in the Art of MMO"

DAoC was streets ahead of anything on the market for RVR (pvp). The ultimate even with New Frontiers. Currently the best PvP is AION, not only can you have in flight PvP but there is also in-game 'The Rift' which is similar to DAoC's rvr dungeon.

Played:
WOW - GW - WAR - AOC - CoH/CoV - EQ2 - SWG - FFXI - DAOC - EVE - VG - L2 - RFO - DFO - DDO - LOTR

Second in line is Darkfall and EVE Online.

 EVE Online is better then anything. For arena type competition WoW stands out.

Planetside (still the best massive FPS type PVP game online) 

Eve (OMG unless you have tough skin - stay away...this game can be brutal - but for great PvP Eve is it)

Dark Age of Camelot (good RVR - probably best I ever played)

WoW (decent - but heavily reliant on gear_

Age of Conan (if you can get past the company running it and the game issues it has fun PvP)

Darkfall (from what I have heard DF actually has decent PvP at the higher end of thegame)

take your pick because all these have decent PvP from my own experince or from reliable source.

I think Teala's got a good list there. Each one caters well to a different playstyle and preference.

Eve Online.  You can jump all you want to in that, heh.

Seriously, jumping around in PvP is incredibly lame, and worth nothing but contempt.

IRL , that shit is serious business. However it depends what pvp you want, hardcore? DK or War, perhaps you actually have a real life try WoW arenas(NOT raiding and ect).

But I just love jumping.

I heard that AoC had horrible PvP, but I guess I'll try it out because the graphics are so good.
