The scariest part is that real world is, in fact, a hardcore free-for-all PvP realm.
I’m not talking competition or something. A random person can absolutely come to you at any time, stab or shoot you and you’ll be dead. Forever. No respawns.
It’s only because people don’t really like being murdered that led them to make and enforce rules on what violence is legitimate that curbed the violence. But even still, anytime, anywhere, by anyone, you can absolutely be killed. And if one day something breaks in the chain that makes police work, we’re super screwed.
It’s not the police that keep us from killing each other, or even laws that do so. Check out law and authority sometime if you’re able. It’s very short and worth a read. We don’t kill each other because we don’t enjoy being killed or killing. We’re social creatures, and don’t want to be shunned. Crimes of passion don’t really change based on laws, but the way we organize society may actually be increasing the number of murders, because some people are desperate enough to kill for food or shelter
If not for people’s negative feelings toward being murdered, I would only take <1% of people enjoying murdering for it to be an extinction-level problem.
Yeah… as a different material. Some wood, stone, grass or a few water molecules dilluted in an ocean. With more luck maybe as a different lesser species.

No it’s also, and more importantly, because people don’t like murdering

I mean, maybe we respawn on a different server.

Why not?
You can get banned for team killing.
Not only can they PK, they can cripple you for life. You can be completely fucked way worse than ‘just’ dying.
Are you a time traveler?
