Good points, guys. I came into the MMO world long ago, before UO and Everquest, back when there was the true first MMORPG ever, Meridian 59 by 3DO. Back then, there was open PVP except for in towns, which is how I understand DF is like. Of course, there were repercussions to this, as mobs of people would form up, or the revnants (ghosts of the murdered) would hunt down the pk'er. So, Im not unfamiliar to the PVP only system. Yet, I can see the issue of people engaging in attack while you're hunting orcs or something. That would suck. Looting seems kind of dumb too, rather archaic.
I imagine in time they'll have to balance the game out to cater to a larger audience, as a PVP slaughterfest might drive away a lot of customers.
