Never my fault.

Your answer options are pretty skewed toward your point of view. The only reason for disagreeing is basically cause "deaths are never my fault?" Nice, super objective poll here.

That being said, I think a lot of people would enjoy this. However, most people would just put their stuff in bank to avoid losing it. Personally, I'm not interested in dueling to take someone's gear and I would have no interest in possibly losing my gear/gold so I would not play on this server.

I started playing Ultima Online when this was the only option and it wasn't fun - very soon afterwards they split it so every server had a PvP version and a PvE-only version. Pretty much immediately the PvP version became a ghost town on every server I was on.

New players like myself were constantly warned to never, ever go there because it'd be full of gankers who would kill you the instant you stepped outside of a town. But I got curious and went there a few times on characters carrying only stuff I didn't care about losing and hardly ever found anyone.

I later found out that what happened was the supposedly hard-core PvP crowd weren't actually interested in fighting each other - they just wanted to kill PvEers for easy loot. So as soon as they realised their targets were avoiding them by staying out of that version of the map they stopped going there too and looked for other ways to make easy money.

The few genuine PvPers set up guilds who held tournaments in the arenas on the PvE servers.
