Not EQish, but...Quake Live. 100% PvP, no fucking around, no plugging / dodging PvP. Everyone is there to PvP and is PvP'ing 100% of the time.
It's also arguably the most skill-dependent PvP game in the world. It also doesn't matter how many hours / weeks / years you invested in farming gear or twinking. There's no farming or twinking. Just PvP.
Very little, if any, cheating going on. There's no point in cheating as it's immediately obvious and people just won't play with you. Besides, cheating in a skill-based PvP game is admitting your lack of skill.
It's really a game that separates men from boys.
Interestingly, it was first released only a few months after Everquest, in 1999.
Thrill-wise, an intense, close duel is no less engaging than EQ PvP really.
