hi lads

Basically I'm looking for an mmorpg as close to daoc as possible.

I really liked the ranking system (realm rank, master level etc) even the xp grinding was good.

Then dual logging for a buff bot oh they where the days.

But ultimately the pvp. Pvp is a must.

Can anybody suggest anything? I'm thinking WoW or Gw2?

I know wow gets a bad rep off most people on fh but I'm willing to give it a whirl if the pvp works... Does it have open world pvp? I know it never used to.

Cheers guys

Nothing.

Nothing.

GW is OK, but they're still very much pampering to WoW players.

DAOC Is completely on its ass, Uthgard (A freeshard server) is the way to go, it's currently down though, they've started anew on it, but it could never come back, it had like 2k players just before it went down, and will probably pull more when it comes back.

I'm not investing any time in a freeshard so I guess daoc is out of the window.

I guess I'll experiment. Maybe a bit of eso pvp will itch my itch.

Uthgard was up for what, 5 years before it went down last time?

I'M NOT PLAYING ANYTHING

Now my parents have gone...

I'm in my last year of uni, so I'm -trying- super hard not to play games.

So I've clocked billions of years on CS:GO and DOTA2.

I suggest you give them both a crack.

Oh counter strike. I feel 12 years old again!

What a game half life was. I remember I could only play it during the day because I was shit scared when it went dark

uthgard been down for alot of time now and not sure when its comming back up again soon but u really cant have expectations of a freeshard who's devs are working in their free time.
my guesses is that its gonna come roughly the same time as cam unchained. so then u'll have 2 pvp games to choose from :D

neither of the games have any sort of meaningful pvp going. Well gw2 might have with it's "professional" tournaments, but i wouldn't bet my hopes on that.

Probably have to wait for cameltoe unchained, whenever that is coming out.

Ignore their site.

Search YouTube for actual gameplay vids.

It looks very promising if you were a fan of daoc

Open world pvp, guild based economy and housing, decent combat system.

A few of my ex DAOC buddies are in the Euro beta... And can't sing its praises enough.

No disrespect intended, but a lot of "ex DAoC people" have sung the praises of more beta MMOs pvp system then i care to remember over the past 10 or 15 years. And not a single games pvp have managed to hold any sort of sizable numbers of ex DAoCers for any meaningful length of time.. :)

I don't disagree :)

Which is why I haven't got it yet :)

Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2, TERA and a few others have decent PvP, but nothing extraordinary. The first Darkfall is now available on two different relaunches: New Dawn and Rise of Agon, depending if you already played that game, if not then the whole thing may repulse you a bit. Revelation Online, Bless, Blade & Soul and Black Desert got some decent PvP mechanics but those are Asian MMOs so... Other than that Crowfall, Camelot Unchained, Chronicles of Elyria, Gloria Victis, Ashes of Creation and a few other indie titles promise some decent PvP but they aren't out yet. New World from Amazon may be the next big thing in terms of PvP, maybe.
