Was it for this, my life, I sought? Maybe so, maybe not.

"pubbie" means "not a goon"

You're either with us or against us! No, really, public pickup groups in any game be it MMO or otherwise seem to suck. Goons tend to stick together and will at least finish out a group/map/whatever, even if they can be social retards at times.

Back on topic,

UO was the best game ever for griefing, especially if you played a thief or were just a huge looter. I had a blast playing that game and it's sad that no game will ever be like it again. The best grief opportunities came when they revised tinkering so that GM tinkered explosion traps would kill most characters immediately.

My friends and I used to lurk on the road east of Britain, stealing, mugging, and PKing, and when the trap changes went live, we made a loving fortune taking advantage of other players greed and curiousity. We would drop a chest (filled with hides or something so they couldn't walk away with it) and wait for some rear end in a top hat to run up and open it. One big boom later, we were divying up their possessions. After about 4 hours of this, a huge posse formed at the Brit bank and came to chase us away. We left a bunch of trapped chests laying around and half the posse got overwhelmed with greed, blew themselves up, and the mad rush for looting distracted the rest of the greedy, poorly organized horde and we mopped them up. I can't recall ever having that much fun in a video game, ever.
