I've attempted PvP Servers before in other games, and in most cases I ended up either moving to another game out of frustration or changing to a PvE server to avoid the frustration... Too many jerks in the MMORPG environment that like to roll over lower level players as higher level gankers... And it's all nice in theory for your friends to come to your rescue, but it doesn't always work out in your favor... And for me, because I can't stand it when it's done to me, I would never attempt it on others, it's just wrong in my book...
Now some games handle those sorts of issues well, like in Warhammer Online if you were a high level player and went to a lower level zone's open PvP areas, you would become a Chicken with low health, and one attack... Or in some games they may incur some sort of XP or other penalty for killing peeps too low for them to be PKing... But most of the time Gankers, they really don't care if they are penalized, it's more about the thrill of easy kills for them...
So for me, I play MMORPG's for the thrill of Co-Op PvE, with PvP as an occasional diversion maybe... If I wanted PvP all the time, i'ld go play a First Person Shooter or RTS...
