I'm just talking about cities, not dangerous territory. And of course, they could impose tolls at the city gates if they wanted to fund their armies.

Sorry for the late response.
Sure it would lead to corruption in some cases. Isn't that the case in real life? However, I don't think such corruption will be widespread. Of course, some "Guards" might become an oppressive regime. But what stops people from overthrowing them? As I said earlier, the most powerful players are the most helpful.
Of course, you could sneak away into the shadows, but you wouldn't be able to set foot in Hydlaa after that without paying for your crimes. Everyone would know: "Izzabella is a rogue!"
Edit: decided to add the following quote from the maker of the PvP mines thread, because he says what I am thinking myself.
It could lead to corruption... I fear. The player guards could become abusive. I distrust the "good guys" at least as much as the "evil" ones.

actually I have usually found when creating havoic if somone shouts for gaurds or even for help lots of players will come running to see whats going on...* Izzabella sneakes away into the shadows...

Exactly! And this is where players come in. Do we want to rp everything with an 'imaginary government' all the time? There are people like knights, mercenaries, robbers and so on. So just let them play.

I personally think that with all these "Guard Guilds" around, why not just leave it to the players to guard the cities, roads, and other place where people could get attacked. If anyone is attacked and there isn't a guard nearby, then he or she can shout for help. People who have been PK'ing a lot can be added to a wanted list.
Think of it this way, in real life, just because you can attack someone without challenging him doesn't mean you would attack him.
Another thing to note is that the most experienced and most powerful players are the ones that would help protect weaker players who are attacked by lunatic newbies on a PK'ing spree.
Of course, it would really help if the combat was more balanced so that a few newbies would be able to take on an experienced player.
