Agreed, although this is certainly not restricted to on-line gaming.
Think of all the programming tallent that has been wasted developing
computer viruses, hacking into systems etc.  Unfortunately, it's just
human nature that not everyone chooses to use their God-given tallents
constructively.

I have to disagree with you here.  I agree 100% with your stand on
cheating, but Pker <> Cheater necessarily.  I think Pkers add an extra
dimension to the game.  No doubt there will be PK clans formed on
Ultima, and "Hero" clans formed to battle them.  Good vs. Evil, basic
concept, and adds a nice touch of realism to the game.  Provided it's
done honestly, that is.
