The fact that we see both Derpy and the WoD in the same trailer with different classes is, for me, an indicator they might not be the same. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I see them as two different people. I'm actually in favor with the 'copy'- and 'just an adventurer who got dragged into the game'-theories, even though that smile from Roe-PLD is a bit too psychotic for my taste to believe they are genuinely kind people...
Let's see what 3.1 brings, its right around the corner now.

Actually, I never believed he ment well at heart. Sorry, but for me, 'becomming god king' just doesn't spell 'well-intending extremist', which would be the closest trope here, I guess. As you said yourself, he was pretty power hungry and that's never a 'good' trait.
