Breakfast topic: Urge to kill, rising....

Just like PVE to PVP transfers and gnome priests, the idea of a free-for-all PVP server keeps popping up on the forums long after Blizzard has said no. Apparently people really, really want to kill players of their own faction. That, at least, I can understand -- while the opposite faction can kill and camp you, players of your own faction are the only ones that can harass you, hit on you, report you, cause guild drama, and generally be annoying prats.

But a lot of players who say they want a FFA server note that they'd also like to wage war on their own NPCs. It seems there's some deep-seated grudges between questers and questgivers. Night elves seem to really hate Archdruid Staghelm in Darnassus, Hordelings want to take out Magatha Grimtotem, and more than a few players on both sides have serious issues with the Naaru. (Yes, technically you can attack the Naaru, but only if you really hate your reputation.) Especially me. If I could get 24 other people to ruin their reputation, I'd burn down those tinkling Christmas tree ornaments so fast ...

In addition to the Naaru, I'd also like to knock some sense into Zul'jin. Player character trolls have cleared out the Echo Isles innumerable times, and Zul'jin just sits there in Orgrimmar, playing backgammon with Thrall's advisors. He needs to get up and get building a new troll city down there, with forts in trees and neat stuff. Are we to be parasites of the orcs forever?

Would you roll on a free-for-all server? Are there any characters -- both players and NPCs -- that you'd kill if you could?
