I did not have the chance to sit around and smell the flowers nor do most of the players who want to save their skins. There is an attempt on some roleplay dependant on the alignment of players. Alignment and Faith play a small part in Guilds and also character creation. The only noticable benefit to different alignments was the unique spell or skill at character creation and also player stats. The general rules are strict and the PK rules are stricter.
Punishment seems harsh but in the dog eat dog world of PKmuds such enforcement is a necessary evil.
It is not a recommneded environment for younger players to be in but there are strict rules to keep players in line. If you have never been on a PKmud Legends Untold seems like a pretty good place to learn. The players seemed decent and usually did not kill other players without reason.
