well both where disliked enough to be zero'd out of the game by more then one alliance, regardless of the reasons getting zero'd out means that people didn't like you therefore you could be considered a villain by someone

I would base the zero'd out on human emotions and a mob mentality (though that works on human emotions so..)
If you aggravate someone with a high standing in any environment, that persons followers will no doubt agree with that persons view of you as a person. If you as a person are suddenly accosted by what may be deserving treatment by a collective you may in turn become more of an irritable and undesirable person, thus hurrying along a departure or hurried executing of your self.
with that said, as I would imagine once you have a collective gunning at you in a flame war, your public persona of yourself will no doubt be further tarnished till you remain as a villain. As I recall both of those players did a few things that aided the community, but as you have shown in your beginning comment on this thread, those are forgotten and all that publicly remains is a villainous persona.

Here's a thought: Perhaps one of the biggest differences between a hero and a villain is not in the deeds themselves, but the ability to accept when one has done wrong and attempt to make amends.
I think of the labors of Hercules, for example, performed after he killed his own wife and children. One could argue that he was not entirely at fault in that episode (since he was driven to it by a goddess), yet he took responsibility and made amends.
I don't know whether this supposition is accurate. Is interesting to ponder. Could be a lesson for us all.

true, but is that based on the fact that there is no outlet to really fight other then the occasional tournament so people are looking for people to pick on, thereby creating villains out of random people for perceived slights or is it based on human psychology about picking on people perceived as weaker and easier to destroy.

I Love this idea. It would have to be a regional villain tho. The problem now is that if anyone starts something just to start it, half of the alliances in Elgea want in on the action, so it becomes a world war. Except the villain is usually 1 guy, or 1 alliance, vs all the forces of good.
Now if there was a confederation of villany...

Like a handful of alliances that are very nice to new players, that could be part of one full alliance? A group of people that are fun to hang around but powerful and can take on most of the people in the game? An alliance that we all thought was nice but can turn out to be the bad guys as a nice gesture?
