Hail kandrathe,
Cheating can be fun. Even in multiplayer. If everone knows about it!
I happened to play a cheat contest on a lan party against a friend of mine. We had 10 minutes to get ourself a character and 'train' it as good as possible. Then we fought. It was quite interesting and fun, too, actually. (well we didn't really die, having x thousands of life and damage reduction/ magic absorb like hell, but...)
After that, we continued to play the storyline with our normal, untrained characters.
Of course there's no point in doing that with a highly-cheated character, would be easy-cheesy and spoiling fun.
On the internet, however, you're not only spoiling your fun, but also the fun of the people you play with (if they don't know). It is pretty lame and I despise PKs who cheat. That's the point where 'cheating in multiplayer games is evil' is set to the value 'true'.
Just my 2 Cents...
Greetings, Fragbait
