Shit that I miss from the "old school" Internet:

Ultima Online

There were the built in cities, and they were safe zones. If you wanted to PK (player Kill), your only real city was Buccaneer's Den. Most of the player built towns were patrolled by players, and were often nearly as safe as the eight cities of virtue.

But that was it for rules. The eight cities of virtue were auto death to murderers. Outside of that, the entire game was essentially a free fire zone.

And it was fucking awesome. The players patrolled against griefers. The guilds were all about helping new players and shutting down PK'ers.

Somewhere along the way, we lost all of that, and the entire concept of PVP servers became a thing.

UO was an amazing MMORPG game. Every game since has sucked.
