Nope, the pvp is the only real fun in mmo. Especialy if the setting is realistic. there are a lot of things to consider, when waging war etc. Now veterans killing lowbies is lame, but meh it may happen once or twice to you, seriously it didn't even happen to me once and i played quite a few mmos.
I mean mmo's that dont have pvp, dont have risk, and if there isnt risk vs reward there isnt a game in it.
Grinding just for the hell of it gets old fast
sounds a lot like Darkfall.
Do you know any mmo that is similiar to it? That you would play as an UO fan?

You hit back on them, make their life miserable. UO had a good reputation system, do a crime and you'd go from blue to grey, meaning that anyone could attack you but you could fight back freely. Do a murder, you'd turn red and we're free hunting to absolutely anyone. So PKs would form guilds so they could be red and still remain relatively safe. As a counter, you got anti-PK guilds who roamed the dungeons and popular hangouts, hunting red and grey players. Many players had one permanently red character they could fall back on to if they needed to.
And much of the PvP circuit was done by the professional PvPers, who wouldn't let their characters turn red - instead everyone went grey in Buccaneer's Den and had a big fight-out or they arranged a tournament somewhere off the beaten path. If a griefer showed up, people could easily gank up on him and since you lost most of your stuff when you died... You have to remember that there were no levels in UO and getting the maximum 7 skills to 100 wasn't that difficult if you knew what you were doing. Magical gear, while good, didn't give you an absolute edge either - so it was down to skill and connection speed. Plus, if someone was enough of a jerk that a lot of people people complained, the GMs could and would teleport that character into jail for good so the player basically lost a character. The feeling when you meet a newbish PK in a dungeon, manage to avoid him while yelling in IRC for help and your guild tamer would teleport in with his pet dragon - then looting the deadPK and laughing at his ghost, nothing quite like it.
But yeah, sure it wasn't for everyone but that Wild Wild West attitude and atmosphere was quite exciting as well.
Luzur that doesn't sound like an official server at all. Were you a nasty pirate and played on private shards?
