Nope.
Wild Server is split up into two factions, White Lighters (good) and Black Lighters (evil). Everyone starts out as WL (to become BL you have to hike like an hour and a half). Also, Black Lighers consist almost entirely of those jerks you are wary of.
WL on WL violence is vary rare, and when it does happen us players punish the offenders. Recently a town made up of Facepunch forum members decided they were going to be WLers but attack and loot other WL towns. We attacked them, sieged their town, and basically destroyed it to the point where it was abandoned by most of them and almost all of them ended up moving out of WL territory and becoming Blacklighters.
Oh, also, my group is currently expanding the White Lighter influence (via constructable guard towers) further and further south into BL territory, so there is plenty of frontier area that is also relatively safe and protected for you to settle.
