I reccomend buying a couple of million adena to get started so you can have good equipment.
Then you can run a botting program to level up and kill some farmers.
I think a game where one player could capture another player and imprison them would be cool.
Permanent death and executions would make the game more realistic.
Keep in mind that this game came out in fall 2001. There were lvl 50's by 2002, and powerleveling was big in guilds that wanted good pvp characters. People were quitting the game by spring 2002 because they were max lvl and bored of pvp.
