No, the Play Nice Policy didn't happen until a year after launch. There absolutely WAS an extended period of time where people could do whatever they wanted, unless it was considered an exploit or extreme harassment. Social constructs often dictated that people would respect established "camps", but it was completely allowed to "Kill Steal" as much as you wanted, or to create trains. This is a game where Rogues were allowed to steal from other players. All of these various things made the game much more interesting.

I can testify to that. All of this was allowed on oldschool Rallos Zek and no action would be taken against you. Back in those days players frowned upon other players that killed their own race too, and would label you as a "Kinslayer". Other random PKing was hugely frowned upon and you would become blacklisted by the big guilds. There were a lot of unspoken "player rules" which weren't actually official rules. Ninja looting phat lootz from mobs, killing your own group member and stealing a piece of gear... etc. All of this made you a hated member of society, but it wasn't illegal.
