let’s say you’ve been playing peacefully for months, no one has bothered you, you have a nice house with some towers to protect you and a lovely farm where you spend countless hours farming aloe and other crops. And then some jerk ropes into your farm from underground and throws road tiles down all over the place, and you happen to walk up on him while he’s doing it. In a world without pvp, you have no recourse but you watch him destroy your hard work.
If you don’t like PVP, Admin has made an area for living (wellington) and areas for training where only monsters can kill you (like wolf cave). You’ll need myst to live in Wellington, of course, but if you can’t manage to keep people from otherwise wanting you dead it might be a solid solution.
Most people playing do not want PVP removed, it allows some level of keeping things in check. Yes, people can get nasty and live in wellington too, but at least if they enter galebrook you get to kill them for it.
