That sounds awesome.

I loved doing random, dangerous things in Ultima Online, and I have yet to find the pre-2001 UO equivalent for doing ridiculously random and dangerous things and having fun doing it. But any game that has a culture that promotes "death runs" must have some good things going for it.
