DDO is not about PvP at all .. so far.
UO was all about just how much of a greifer could you and yer 'kewl dood' friends be?
See naked miner, kill naked miner!
Look, over there .. someone is having fun with some friends, lets kill them all, take their stuff, and use all the words from 8th grade playgrounds .. just for 'fun' .. ya .. UO was a real 'fun' ..for those types.
Unfortunately, I wasn't 8 years old so I didn't 'enjoy' greifers much.
PimPMASTAH as a name for a character just doesn't 'do it' for me in a role playing game.
I did enjoy hunting 'kewl doods' for awhile .. but they were always so predictable it got kinda old. Kinda like vulchin a dweeb only worse.
I enjoy workin with a competent group to overcome an encounter that is challenging.. a good group who knows what they are doin makes a bad group look *really* bad
example: sailin thru a dungeon just doin it by the numbers, tank holding aggro, using the right weapon for the job, cleric keepin on top of heals-buffs, caster keepin on top of what's happenin, whole group maintaining fast-pace, just slaughterin their way through a dungeon that any 2 or 3 of them would not have a chance at.
It's very much like bein bounced in yer Spit at 4k by 4-5 bandits comin in from 10k .. and you and yer wingman (you do have one dont you?) ..just eatin em like a light snack.. or keepin em from seein your bombers entirely.
