Suggest a MMO for me :D

Hey guys. I wouldn't call myself a vet MMO player but I have played my share. My first MMO was the Indonesian version of Nexus called Nexia (it was free unlike the English counterpart). Since then I played UO for several years, and quite a bit of WoW. I can't stand to play another second of WoW and I want to try something new. I also goofed around with several other MMOs such as Guild Wars, Anarchy Online, Dark Ages (not DaoC), and probably more than I can't think of right now.
My favorite aspect in a MMO is definetly PvP. Although the game HAS to have PvE (or PvM if you will). I've fiddled with Guild Wars but the PvE is just too limited. I also don't want to play another game in WoW which has almost no death penalty. Theres no satisfaction in killing anyone. I remember my days of UO, if you died then you were screwed. I also like MMOs that are very free lance, like UO was. I would prefer a MMO that has a trial version available so I could give it a whirl before I go out and spend $50 on it.
So to sum up what I want, a MMO with excelent PVP, a somewhat harsh death penalty, and it must have at the very least decent PvE.
I thank you in advance.

If this sounds interesting to you I suggest you go to www.eve-online.com and read the following sections of the forums. EvE new citizens Q&A, which has lots of usefull info for noobs. Crime and Punishment, is a section for those who practice piracy, and those who like to whine about pirates lol. You'll learn alot about techniques and tactis to use against others. Skills section will explain to you how the skills work and what they do. Ships and Modules section has a ton of wonderful information on the ships you can fly, what they can/will do, and the modules (like guns) to use with them. Those are perhaps the most relevant to a new person getting into the game interesting in the PvP side of things. READ ALL STICKIES FIRST!!!111ELEVENTYONE
idk if i would recommend either of those games
i think you need to be a fairly specific mentality to enjoy either
RF- you need to have a lot of time and not mind spending a lot of time killing the same thing over and over, not to mention that you need to be able to potion spam like a madman
EvE- you need to like things more slow paced and thought out, rather than enjoying making on-the-spot desicions
Dude, if you don't care so much about having to have insanely pretty graphics, then I HIGHLY recommend to you "Asherons Call" from Turbine. This is Turbines signature game, and my favorite of all time. The PvP and PvM are relentless action that truly requires more thought and more skill then newer, prettier mmo games. There is a MUCH stiffer death penalty that results in a 5% stat loss on all your skills for each death, and this can add up to a crippling 40% max stat loss if you die many times in a row without working it off. This stat loss is called a VP (Vitae Penalty) and can only be worked off by gaining experience. Death also causes a loss of the most valuable items in your inventory (most highly valuable based on game value, not real value) so many people carry death items (DI's) such as insanely high valued gems and junk loot to cover them selves from losing truly valuable armor and weapons on death.
The PvP server you want is "Darktide" The population has sadly dwindled over the years as it was released way back in 1999. There are still very cool people that play however and I suggest you try it out and get in with a good allegiance (more often called a guild in other mmos) who can help you level up quickly so that you can compete with most of the long term high level players that you will encounter.
Turbine has been very, very loyal to the game and to its fans, offering monthly updates, patches, and events almost every month the game has been out. They still have monthly events to try and keep the game fresh and exciting.
Best of all, you can try this truly under-rated gem out FREE for 14 days! If you like it, the game is only $12.95 per month, and the game with free month is only $19.95 at www.direct2drive.com
Anyhow, good luck in whatever game you choose!
Click HERE for Asherons Call FREE 14 DAY TRIAL!!
Keep it cool, and enjoy Asherons Call if you decide to try it out!

Hey Zaxx good call - AC was a blast when it came out. One that started out horribly but ended up ok was Anarchy Online... again if graphics aren't the key element for you...
While I don't like it - some people love Vanguard - be warned tho it is really buggy and a system hog...
The Chronicles of Spellborn looks like it is going to be the place I end up after WOW... still playing wow tho for now... BC added a bunch of fun stuff imo.
