The early UO society definitely couldn't have helped matters. Being a
male who likes a good challenge in his gaming, I was purely disgusted
with the behavior in UO in its early days. So much so that I
cancelled my account within the first hour. Granted I'm not a woman
and I'm speculating here, but I'd guess it's a pretty safe bet that
PK/PvP is probably the least attractive aspect of gaming to women.
