What is a good MMORPG for PK?

[dreaded_beast]

Ultima Online, in the first few months of life. It DIDN'T last long, in that stage -- they rapidly changed the rules because the tiny minority of psychotic lunatics who "enjoyed" that playstyle drove off way too many customers.

I have a sneaking suspiscion you won't like shadowbane, because it lacks what you seem to want -- victims. There's no non-PVPers on there, by definition. The whole game is centered around PVP conflict. This means everyone is prepared for it, everyone wants it, and everyone who stays there for any length of time is *good* at it. (And have large groups of allies, so, you gank one seeming newbie who happens to be an alt for long-time player and suddenly there's no safe place for you anywhere on the server)This means that if you want to kill tailors, you're SOL.

I don't think I said I wanted victims. I just want a game that is heavily focused on PK. For myself, it's never really fun to PK newbies. I'm all about the risk and if there is no risk of repercussion, then what is the point. It's like DND, I don't go around killing villagers and innocents because I want victims. It's all about killing the evil big bad that can probably kill you without blinking an eye. It's almost always better to PK experienced players (and be PKed by them).

Lineage II will be a game heavily focused on PK. And it boasts the most beautiful graphics I've ever seen in a MMORPG. So you might want to give it a look.

Now, see, from THAT description, it sounds like you want Dark Age of Camelot. There, the "Evil Hordes" are just the players from another realm.

That's an ENTIERLY different game though from Ganked: The MMORPG.

Thanks for all the responses!

Well, based on everyone's info here and there, I decided to pickup Shadowbane and Star Wars. I am probably gonna focus on Star Wars more, not so much for the PK aspect, but because it is the first MMORPG I played, I got used to it, and I really like the Star Wars setting. Plus, I shelled out $50 for it.

Based on recommendations I also got Shadowbane for a bargain price of $10 at CompUSA. I figure I can try it out for a month and if I don't like it, it's only $10 bucks.

I am probably going to try Ultima Online since they sell it at CompUSA for $10 also.

Thanks again, everyone's input was very helpful.
