For most players, no. It was pve and role playing. Once they split the realms to pvp and non-pvp, the pvp realm had a much lower player base because it was pks, thieves, and old timers who put a house down before the split.
If the game didn't have full looting of dead bodies and stealing there probably could have been much better interactions between the 2 groups of people but getting pk'd and losing all items was so annoying for casual players.
Even if you don't lose your items, getting pvped when you're pveing happily is still griefing. You don't lose ingame items but they waste your irl time.
