One of the most common questions and rightfully the most important things to consider in an MMORPG is PvP (Player vs Player where players can freely kill other players without their consent). I just thought I'd share my recommendation for those interested in a heavily PvP oriented MMORPG. Lineage II is the best game for PvP out there. The castle sieges and clan wars are the most intense and fun. A lot of people might argue that Dark Ages of Camelot castle sieges are the best, but I doubt those people have experienced any epic sieges in Lineage II.
I should note, however, that Lineage II is easily the most farmer infested game I've ever played. This doesn't effect you directly but it does effect the economy and in rare instances can give other players unfair advantages. Farming is often done as a full-time job by some people in povery stricken countries. There are a LOT of foreign (mostly asian) players in Lineage II who play solely to obtain game currency and levels to sell currency and characters on ebay and other game account distributors for real money. This is how some people make a living. It is unfortunate for those of us that want a completely fair and balanced game for fun... but even with this downfall, this game is easily my favorite for PvP. PvP isn't just a feature, it's the primary insentive for the overwhelming majority of players to advance through the game and form alliances. Lots of games have PvP as features but don't quite have the same depth or superiority of Lineage II. It's been years since I played it (there may even be a Lineage III out now for all I know), but I still sometimes suffer from withdrawel... that game kicks some major PvP arse!
