Player versus Player

PvP or Player versus Player;

Definition
The act of engaging in combat versus other player controlled characters.

Examples

 * "I play on a PvP server"
 * "I was PvP enabled and got ganked"
 * "I prefer PvP to PvE"

Mechanics
People who choose to engage in player versus player combat will find themselves in a highly energized, competitive and adrenaline filled universe. Expect to be ambushed, killed over and over relentlessly, mocked and humiliated. Mastering PvP however, means you become a menace, the bully of bullies and can put fear into the hearts of the less accomplished.

If you are on a PvP server, you are always able to be attacked. If you are on a PvE server you gain the ability to flag yourself for pvp, but otherwise you remain unattackable.
