So correct me if I am wrong, but the PvE servers are actually PvP with the same rule set as the open PvP server after level 30?

Or is there some kind of switch. Just trying to determine if I go to a PvE server and have a 30 level breather or jump right into the PvP server.

Thanks.

    For PVE server, even you hit lvl 30, when people PKed you or vice versa, will get the name 'coloured'..

    For PVE server, once you hit lvl 30, you can PKed anyone you like... with no 'coloured' nick (I think)

    Correct me if I'm wrong... =p

    On the PvE servers you can click a little button near the minimap to go whitename which enables PvP mode. Not everyone does go PvP enabled though and those who do are mostly higher lvl. So I wouldn't advise going PvP enabled as soon as you hit 30 but wait a couple lvls first.

    Once you hit level 30 in PvP, your name goes white - no option. After level 30 in PvP, you can be PKed by anyone at anytime outside of any town.

    In PvE when you hit level 30, you have the option of staying like you are or going in PK mode. PK mode stands for itself, but there's a 10 hour penalty for those who turn it on (which means it can only be turned off after 10 hours have passed).

    You cannot PK any blue-named character in PvE if you are above level 30. You both have to be in PK mode.

    Thanks for the quick replies. Is the PvP server as populated as the PvE servers. And is there much PvP even going on within the PvE servers?

    Uhhh not as much as the PvP server of course.
    But then it depends on what you call pvp. If its PKing yea PvP has more but if its TW (the one that really matters), both servers have equal amounts.

    I've yet to see someone in action, but I have seen my fair share of red-named players, and everything inbetween. Red-named players are those who have PKed a certain amount of people without dying. White-named players will slowly go from white to red with every person they PK--without dying of course.

    You stay red even if you die. Redness is dependent on the number of ppl u kill only and will only go away with time, not by death.

    I believe your name turned white after death, regardless of color, or that's what I remember from reading.

    But, whatever goes...
