Me and some friends are looking for a good MMORPG...

[xboxist]

...and we need some suggestions. We know next-to-nothing as to what it out there currently. First off, what we know we want or don't like:

1) We REALLY want for the game to have player-killing, and not just on designated servers. This was a blast back when Ultima Online came out (the last and only RPG we've played). Does this feature even exist in these types of games any longer?

2) I've watched someone play a few hours of Everquest and I simply don't like it. The graphics are outdated, and I don't like the emphasis on guilds. We want to be able to have extensive one-player action.

3) We want for the game to feature an extensive multitude of items/weapons. It's so fun finding a completely rare item in a game like this.

and... well, I guess that's all of the parameters that we have. Now, based on all of that, any suggestions??

Star Wars Galaxies is coming out soon..

Besides that I'm not up to date with current MMORPGs

It seems like there truly is a lack of a good game out right now, which is why I'm back in CS

Shadowbane.

SWG will have PvP, but it'll be extremely neutered.

swg itself will be neutered and a big waste of time.

Shadowbane or DAoC:SI... I haven't logged on either of the two for 3 weeks or so, but i can only imagine how much of a gank fest it is right now

my advice: don't do it. it takes so much time to level and then you get to the end game and it sucks beacause the other realm has 2x the characters yours does so you always get rolled like boise state playing k-state, plus theres insta stun spells which should be removed entirely from the game that mean that most of the time you're just paralyzed waiting to get killed and if you ever try to go out by yourself somewhere you'll just get ganked by an assassin with grossly overpowered melee abilities

Is that a sentence?

Planetside is comming out soon. That game is a MMOFPS. Think of an RPG only first person shooter style. Its gonna rock. For sure.
DAOC is nice, and it would be easy to join that game because of the limitations they put on using real high level items when you are a low level (ie no level 5 using something that would been seen on a level 40 charecter).

be the rouge sniper guy! Go invisible and then shoot your enemy with a bow that does an insane ammount of damage. I remember those days. AWSOME!

no, it'd be easier if they didn't have those stupid anti-PLing caps because the pve is boring.

of course it was fun to charm a low level mob and then lvl 44 damage buff it and go watch it kill n00bs.
