The challenge withopt-in PVP on a role-play enforced game is that inevitably you will have people who say whatever they want and antagonize the pvp players, with the idea that nothing can be done to retalliate against them.
Of course Ihave seen other rp-enforced games who manage opt-in PVP in such a way, and those who antagonize will quickly find themselves set to PVP. Of course, this actually requires some work to keep the game atmosphere going well, and I just never got the impression that those with the ability to create change gave a crap about it.
