this assumption is based on what exactly? why is everything griefers vs non griefers? there are plenty of situations where the sharks pve and the fish pvp, trying to make these roles rigid is a really bad assumption on player behavior.

Well gee let's think about this. If most UO players actually spent most of their time playing an entirely different non-PVP game but also served, very occasionally, as victims to a small base of PVPers, we could expect them to jump ship to a PVP-free server at the very first opportunity.

Did anything like that happen, I just don't know anything about UO, so if anyone can think of a time when a PVP-free version of UO became available and most of the playerbase stampeded over to it, please let me know.

This guy spent a year and a half making real friends and being a valuable member of a guild just so he could steal something worth far less than what he could have easily made over the same period just because of its sentimental value to his victim, a very good friend.
