I also might ask who yo uare talking about? Are you talking about
Furcadia? Player combat is fairly important to many players in Achaea
(of primary importance to a few players). Gold is important, but you
don't get gold from going out and bashing orcs or whatnot. Monster
slaying is of not much importance. It's just a tool, not the goal of
the game like in EQ or whatnot.
