Do you prefer a fantasy world full of conflict or peaceful?

If we make a fantasy visual novel, do you prefer a peaceful world with eventual conflicts (mostly positive vibe), or a world full of conflict and life-threatening danger (mostly grim vibe)?

You could go for a negative peace, absence of war. I remember in Lord of the Rings Tolkien describes the rangers as rough men that fight evil and darkness less than a day's travel from the homes of men ignorant of what is done to protect their comfort. If this approach is taken it could divide the love interests into three broad groups: those who live ignorant peaceful mostly happy vibe lives (movie Rosie Cotton), those who know of the dangers but do not participate in the violence (book Arwen, book Rosie), and those who would partake in physically combating the evil (Eowyn and movie Arwen).

The deeper you dig, the darker it gets, but everybody keeps telling you not to rock the boat. In the end you have to rely on a few friends, and together you solve the probem. Or do you? ...
