Well, one thing we have is, as another posting person mentioned, an out-of-character area where folks can have "faux fights."
On OtherSpace, for example, we've got the Dream Arena. You and your pals can go in and practice fighting against each other, applying modifiers. And there's no risk of dying in that circumstance.
But can it co-exist in a mobkilling environment? My kneejerk response is: No. It takes a different type of mindset to engage in refereed or consent-based combat than it does to run around in automated mode. It takes a willingness to be refereed, and allow for a chance of things not to work out like you might want them to. However, despite my kneejerk reaction, anything is possible - and it might work just fine. Depends on how it's implemented.
