I don't know what the heyday is considered for UO. I played for about 4 months, starting at release (although I really didn't play much at all the first month, dealing with all the connectivity and stability issues was frustrating as hell even as one of the few people who had a cable modem back then).
I suspect he's not talking about getting ganked and looted, but rather one of the many house exploits which allowed people to steal the house (or castle) and everything in it. Or even if you did just get ganked at the wrong time you could lose your key and that was almost as bad as the exploits.
I just never found a game where you could die and lose everything on you and just shrug it off like it was nothing to be particularily fun or interesting. That's certainly not what I would call "designed right."
