I'm just on the hunt for a decent PvP game to hold my interest until WAR comes out. Must be based mainly on PvP, and I've already tried RF Online, and that sucked.

shaiya is hardcore pvp from what i've heard but i only played it for a few lvl's cause i was gettin lag cause my pc blows :(

I tried that, it was decent. But I'm looking for something a little more hardcore.

Shadowbane (chronicle.ubi.com)

Probably the best f2p pvp game out... Sure it has dated graphics, but there are a ton of races and classes and such.

It is a pretty fun game too, but don't expect much PvE elements. Your goal is to get to a high level (which happens fast if you meet some peeps and join a guild). Then its war time!


(I don't currently play, but thinking about rejoining the game)

Looking at Shadowbane is the equivalent of raping your eyes.

Moving around/Using the interface in Shadowbane is the equivalent of raping your brain.


However, if you can get past that (Which I wasn't able to) it's a great game with a lot of features that would make almost any MMO released today be awesome.

Well if your willing to Pay for a game like Warhammer Online then you could Play WoW, mazing endgame PvP and even at lower levles :D. Or you could try fury online, or Rakion.

Yea, well I didn't think the graphics were that bad... but to each his own.

As far as the interface goes, you can modify and download new ones similar to how you would with WoW. But yea. the interface does need work, or just patience to get used to.

Compared to most f2p mmorpgs, I really don't think the graphics in Shadowbane are much worse than them. hehe

I really don't want to turn this into another WoW bashing thread, but WoW PvP is lacking heavily. There are many games with much better PvP.
(shadowbane, guildwars, daoc, etc)

Try Rumble Fighter Or Guild Wars...
When Ure Lvl 20, Its All About PvP

I've played Guild Wars some time ago. It is a very hard game to enjoy nowadays. It's now based around clan battles and such and they aren't usually looking for new members.

And I would preferably not pay for these games, I feel it's a waste of money considering that WAR is coming out soon and that I probably won't have enough time to enjoy the game to the fullest extent, hence: waste of money.

Thanks for your suggestions so far, keep 'em coming!
