Don't you see? Being thrust into this harsh, cutthroat, dangerous world is exciting! Yeah, it's unjust, it's difficult, the forces are arrayed against you at the start...but they can't stop you from playing, improving, gaining power and equipment and allies.
Aesop didn't say it's the correct way to forge a society. I would never want to live in a place like Red99 in real life…but this is not real life.

You have to be strong to survive..if I survive and prevail, then I am strong! Make your own justice! A refreshing challenge from which I can safely withdraw at any time by hitting /q.
Part of the draw of Red for me is that I may one day challenge the pixel overlords. Imagine the satisfaction when I begin to PvP on par with the old guard, when those who have struck fear into the hearts of all newbies begin to respect and fear me.

Can you imagine a world where every dispute results in death?

There is no true death in EQ. Every dispute ends in either running away or respawning.
