I am looking for some good OPEN!!!!!! pvp rpg's... not like Guild wars or LOTRO where the pvp is instanced, or even WoW where you have those lame teams... I'm lookin for a hardcore MMO with death penalties, pvp looting, and open pvp.

That's not the real issue for me on SB, rather it's the community. Now, in multiplayer FPS titles like TF2 there are jokers, but on SB they have them by the truck load. And often they seek to make your displeasure their treasure (as in they really do want to piss you off). That, in itself, is what killed SB for me and not the counter-intuitive UI. Once you get past the UI, it's a fairly nuanced game, but the players are not so as I stated prior. And I'd much rather take a single joker in TF2 any day over the retards they call the 'elite' in SB.

Because open PvP with harsh penalties and open looting is such a dinosaur (tried in UO and does not resonate with the players) and no one wants it.

There will be no AAA MMORPG with these "features". Good luck to find a niche one, if there is enough players to play.

why do humans build, because it isn''t there

Why?

What you want is pointless.

Open PvP should be a byproduct of the world's balance not something you say I want this gimme.   You've pretty much already defeated yourself because there is no game like that and NEVER will be.

sure there will be lots of MMO's that are open PvP with looting and maybe even skill loss.   but there will never be the FFA PvP game where you just kill other players for the sake of killing.

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.

Vanguard, last I played, has a FFA pvp server.

 

 

Hope you bought your computer at NASA...

Oh and their PvP has no development or support. There is no organized pvp built in the game, though city raiding was fairly popular.  Classes are not balanced around PvP, so balance was a huge issue when I played.

Your first sentence: What is OPEN (in your bold letters)?  Do you mean a zone in which everyone can zone in simultaneously and zerg?  In that case, LOTRo has one such zone, all the the odd implementations of PVMP in LOTRo.  If you zone into ettenmore, its FFA with keeps and caves.

Your second sentence: You want not just open (undefined)?  You want death penalty and pvp looting.  Then you should not list LOTRo, LOTRo is a PVE game mainly.  There is EVE, there are PVP servers in many games from EQ2 to VG.  There are the PVP driven asian games (some grinders, some less).  I do not see why you have to post here to tell us that you are looking for "OPEN" pvp games.

Yep. Just recently returned to DAoC myself and I've been playing the classic servers' mid-level battlegrounds. They're very fun and open, and it only takes a day or two to reach your first open PvP battleground worth going to (Killaloe 15-19). 

City of Heroes\Villains is a lighthearted choice as well. Better for soloing and rarely ever having to worry about a team to go out and participate in open battles.
