Open PvP. Clever and effective police force which uses magic effectively but within reason for some places including the noobs' home cities. You get caught by the police, it's BAD. Character unplayable for a real life day, week or month as he rots in prison or something for murder. It's possible to get away with if you have a good build and plan, but not worth it for random griefing of noobs.

"The thing is, he can't look like a cat because they don't exist in Yliakum."

Then he should have said "What's a cat?" not "(we are roleplaying here)".

By the way, if there are no cats, what are "feline features"? Enkidukai are described as having "feline features". Oh, and aren't we all supposed to be from different worlds? Maybe on my home world there were cats. You'd think there'd be more emphasis on the nonexistence of cats when you have Enkidukai in the game with feline features yet we're never supposed to refer to cats.

It ruins an immersive roleplay environment far more when everyone's constantly talking about roleplaying and whether I'm doing it properly or not. If I am going to roleplay, the last thing I want to see every ten seconds is the word "roleplay".
 

I hate roleplay nazis, especially when they are nazis about things that have nothing to do with roleplay, like giving someone advice.

I called one of those catpeople a cat and he got all pissy and said "I am a XXXXX (we are roleplaying here)". Now...which is the roleplay failure here...calling someone who looks like a cat a cat, or saying "(we are roleplaying here)"?

Open PvP limits roleplay? That makes absolutely no sense. Artificial limits on character freedom that don't make any sense in the setting do NOT help roleplay. How are a Paladin and a devil worshipping Necromancer (or this game's equivalent) supposed to roleplay without being able to attack each other at will?
