Indeed.  I won't do PvP in AC or EQ, but I will in DAoC, and would
consider it in AO.  I also have a much less "risk averse" play style
in the latter two games even in PvE.

Why?  One very simple reason: if I die, I don't lose my in-game
stuff.  The penalty for losing a 30-second encounter isn't "spend
the next week farming mobs for enough cash to replace items that got
looted/lost in one fight".

All of the rest is icing on the cake.
