They tried it again with Wintergrasp, then they ended up having to implement zone limits for the battles, which sucked. Real pvp was arenas though, the rest was just repeatedly pwning people with lesser skills and gear imo. Arenas really is the only challenging pvp in WoW.
I loved walking into ironforge or whatever that other city was and just pwning anyone and everyone that would either be flagged or flagged themselves. A small group of 5 or 6 could take the auction house for hours lol.
Back in the good'ol days not even a 100 man raid(s) managed to do that but then again Ragnaros was real PvP-server, unlike the one you inhabited but we did killed the gnome king and the dwarf kings at least once though and the alliance retaliated by trying to kill sylvanas. Then again lvl limit was 60 and the guards would spawn endlessly until server crashed or Alliance PvP-guilds got their **** together.
We also had "organised" "noob" trains that basically tried to live long enough to reach the Stormwind or IF while killing every single alliance player that was stupid enough to have a flag on while on ...
Good times.
They added some achievements to get a mount by raiding the 4 opposing faction cities and killing the main guy in each, that was pretty fun and epic battles ensued. Orgrimar was rarely completed by alliance due to the massive amount of people hanging around there on Onyxia lol. We regularly steam rolled Stormwind and Ironforge, but there was a huge discrepancy btwn horde and alliance on Onyxia.

During peak on my WoW server generally you got the NE place, the Space Goat city and Maybe IF or Stormwind. by then the alliance usually hardened defenses at the remaining city(s). IF tended to be good for them to defend because of the choke points. id love to see Ironforge used as a FPS map actually. with some alteration and some upper level catwalks it would be a great UT2K map.

mob trains are fun.
and I think I played KO, my guild in pt moved over there for a week or so due to lag issues (and/or server full issues, see below), seemed pretty mmo generic.
and I guess I'd have to go with wow, I did a trial way way back and it just seemed too mmo generic, that and I heard raids needed 40 people and took 4 hours, just sounded like a bad time. I was pretty into Guild wars at that time so paying a sub fee just didn't add up for me.
the mmo that should be the worst Pristontale, terribad korean grind mmo (exponential level up curve, linearish xp gains from monsters). see tk8's pt flash movies http://thekiller8.deviantart.com/gallery/ (and don't get distracted by his eve flashes!)

Bots ruined Aion for me. and the game was open PVP. which sucked when higher levels where out ganking and the bots killed all the good exp mobs slowing your level progression.
That is why I tend to feel as far as RPGs go EVE is the best PVP game. sure someone can have millions more SP than someone, but they can still loose if the other player thinks and/or brings friends in the right ships. God bless ECM*
its only a blessed thing when you are the one giving it of course.

Dark Throne. Text-based MMO. Worst MMO I've played.. there were a lot of people cheating (and after a while, I did as well..because that was the ONLY way to gain equity with some people) and the method used to gain more power (citizens) took forever. Training all the citizens took a lot of gold, meaning that you had to mine a LOT to train them. Mining a LOT made you a target for people to attack you.. a LOT.
Once you get into the higher levels, it was made much, MUCH harder to gain experience and gold. To the point where people needed HUGE armies to kill turtle accounts (high defense and a lot of gold) but to level they needed much smaller armies...so a lot of people ended up getting screwed trying to acheive the middle.

the community there is absolutely terrible, especially on the Starsider server.
You must have played post-CU
Anyway, SWG post-CU and WoW are about tied here.
I played pre-stupid and post-stupid, but dont even really mention pre-cu because its such a different and rightfully awesome game that I dont really want to get people confused as to what im talking about when i praise it.
post-CU/NGE, i mostly stayed for friends, and pretty much just dont give a flying frak about their 'community'. Starsider is so bad that about half of them actually left starsider to go to a less populated server full time, because of the **** the community was flinging at each other.
WoW is a mixed bag. its so big you cant paint it with one brush. --
My opinion is my own and nothing but my own. Before putting words in my mouth, it might help to ask for clarification if you are confused. |

Even though it breaks my heart to say it:
Dark & Light.
Even Algalon is great compared to that game, let alone Aion, WoW or whatever else.
The only people who can one-up me are the ones who 'enjoyed' Mourning.

I have only played two MMO's: WoW and Eve. I don't think either of them is the worst MMO.
Only time I had trouble with harrasment in WOW was at a PvP server, those on your own side would follow you around gooning around. So I didn't play PvP servers and I got bored after a two months and stopped playing.
Eve has superior chatbox, market, difficulty level and community, but doesn't have even a fraction of the content of WoW.

You'd be surprised at how Eve has one of the relatively better communities compared to other MMO's. I mentioned Aion's community earlier, which was horrid. WoW's wasn't much better (though I honestly thought it was by a smidgen). Of course, with any MMO you play, you're going to run into... those kinds of unfortunate people we dare not name....
I'm surprised at the amount of people who hate SWG. I played that game for a short while, wasn't particularly impressed, but the community didn't seem that bad.

eve actually has the worst community of any MMO I've played, it's especially funny given how eve players think themselves the superior more sophisticated MMO community when in fact it is by far the most childish bunch of psuedo intellectuals I've ever seen in any online community.

Dunno why all the hate for Age of Conan...it wasn't that bad and it's gotten a lot better since it's release.
Warhammer likewise had some decent pvp but like AoC was released too early.
The worst mmo I've played is probably The Agency. Jetpacks are cool an' all, but it lacks depth and the missions feel very repetitive. Star Trek...I've played it but not enough to make a decent assessment.

Even when it was freshly released it was hands down better than WoW, for what that's worth. If i was going to play a Fantasy game it would be that one.
Worst one i've ever played was Fury. Had a couple confusing and frenetic matches i managed to win somehow, couldn't figure out the equipment system, then the game promptly crashed due to some graphics glitch, never allowing me to play again.
Never thought of it again until i heard it went f2p, and then finally was shut down.

that's why I said relatively better. My opinion is that it's relatively better, but by no means do I think it's good.

Aion sort of borders on bad since NC-Soft seems to not clamp down on Bots. Maybe Bots are simply not as frowned on in Asian games.

Really? Only borders?
I thought one of the major downsides of the game mechanics themselves was the fact that it's now practically impossible to get into PvP unless you're max level, or have insanely good gear. Go into the abyss, and you meet a rampaging army of children with full abyss gear that are ready to roflstomp you without you even using a single ability.
And the PvE was... very grindy...

Yea I wonder what is with the love of grinding in Asian MMOs. its like they openly enjoy grinding for the sake of it. Sure Everquest was a grind but it went somewhere. some grinds I have come across in asian MMOs do not have a final destination for said grind.

I'm going to have to say Lineage2 was one of the worst I ever played. Not because of the graphics or bugs because I din't find too many during launch. It was a grind fest. I don't mind grinding you get to know your group members and make new friends. But it took me a month to get to level 25 playing casually. I played in the same zone killing the same group of mobs for way too long.

Ha! My only experience with Lineage 2 was that I managed to get into the beta somehow, I installed it, logged in and spent looking at flowers for the next ten minutes. Then I log out, uninstall it and moved on with my life. |

It's because everything about asia and it's people are about competition ... Since most of them don't care for PvP only way to put "a feeling of achievement" for a game like MMO without raising difficulty to scare people away is putting players to grind for stuff ... It's also very easy for the developers in terms of development; quest -> grind 10 rats -> grind 20 rats -> grind 30 -> now you have killed a 10 000... -> next one is squirrels go kill me 20 ...

The WoW-Europe community wasn't all that bad. Not sure if it changed post-WOTLK, but during TBC the forums were a rank above the eve forums on their average day. Sure, WoW has more people playing it and a larger percentage of teenagers, which accounts to most of the really bad trolls/threads, however those didn't often last long.
All the major threadnaughts were for game crippling bugs, future changes that were stupid, etc. And hell, Blizzard listened! (Pre Actiblizzard anyway). Average ticket time was about half an hour for primary response, and then a day or two to fix intense problems (Including reimbursements) Usually it was always sorted same day in my experience.
Like I said. The average Eve player hates everything that isn't eve. Scratch that, most of us hate eve at times too. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Agree with RF. I played since launch up to about a month till it ended. The concept of the chip war was fun, nice and hectic when it all came together. Though it needed a lot of work under the hood to make it decent. Plus the fact that CCR, the producer of RF, didn't give a crap about any versions outside their native Korean one. Think we were at least 6 months behind them for updates. Also the game shouldn't have gone f2p either.
