I have to agree with you, Rosareven.

Many many times, people will play simply to engage in PvP on the slightest excuse.
It doesn't help that most MUDs are pretty lenient on people that do kill. The excuse tends to be 'Well they aren't <i>really</i> dead.' This doesn't help the trust factor in those games.

But then, a lot of RPIs (And similar games) operate under more real-world laws, where killing people will get you killed (possibly permanently) in turn.

New Worlds deserves a mention here due to its two ingame areas that are based on both opposites of the spectrum.
