 Q: Is the game completely PvP?
A: While there are servers for PvP combat anywhere within the game, for the PvE (Player versus Environment) servers, PvP will be available only in the Border Kingdom, Siege play (in the Border Kingdom and defending and attacking world cities), arenas and PvP mini-games, and drunken bar brawls. You can also choose to not participate in PvP at all if that’s your preference.

Q: Do PvP encounters also use the Real Combat mechanics?
A: Yes. Although there may be certain limitations to prevent exploits.
Links:
Q: Are there any penalties for killing someone much weaker in PvP combat?
A: On the PvP servers, yes. There are four tiers of levels. 1-20; 20-40; 40-60 and 60-80. If you kill someone in another tier, or someone much weaker than you are, you can get a bounty put on your head. This means you will get inconvenient visits from bounty hunters and possibly even jail time.

Q: How does jail time work?
A: When in jail, you have to do a repetitive in-jail quest to get out.
Links:

Q: What is the Border Kingdom?
A: This is a region within the game where guilds can build their own keeps. Guilds will be able to combat each other in this area to siege the land and keeps built by other guilds.
Links:
Q: What are battlekeeps?
A: Players can build battlekeeps in the Border Kingdom. These are structures that are owned by their guild. Since there are only a few places battlekeeps can be built, other guilds may want to take them away from their owner or destroy them entirely.
Links:
  
Q: What about smaller guilds who don’t have the resources to build and maintain a battlekeep?
A: Not every guild will have the manpower or ability to build and maintain a battlekeep. However, there are smaller towers within the Border Kingdom which work similarly to battlekeeps. They do not offer the same rewards, but they do give smaller guilds a place to own and strategize their plans.
Links:
Q: Can other guilds attack a keep or tower when no one is online to defend it?
A: There is a vulnerability window that is set to determine when the attacking guild can attack. They first have to set up a war tent outside the targeted keep, to warn the defending party that they plan to attack. This gives the defending party time to ensure they have enough people available to defend the structure.
Links:
Q: What are drunken bar brawls all about?
A: Bar brawls don’t take into consideration a player’s level or equipment. It’s all about getting drunk and fighting. The drunker you are, the stronger you may be, but the less chance you’ll have of hitting. These brawls come complete with blurred vision.
Links:
Q: What are the rewards for PvP combat?
A: There is a PvP ranking system. You can also earn blood money is through PvP combat. Blood money can be used to purchase items which are not available on any other market. There are also PvP-only feats and equipment. There are a total of 20 PvP levels, which are separate from adventuring levels. You can also gain access to a battlekeep in the PvP-only Border Kingdoms.
Links:
Q: What is blood money?
A: You can earn blood money through PvP combat. Blood money can be used to purchase items which are not available on any other market. It is the currency of the Border Kingdoms – tokens taken from the enemies you have slain. When you kill an opponent in the Border Kingdoms, you can loot some, or all of the blood coins they are carrying. Everyone in the Border Kingdoms has some blood money value. It is also a way for players to know where they rank against other PvP players. The special PvP-only feats are also only available for purchase with blood money.
Links:

Q: How do you progress in PvP?
A: There are 20 PvP levels. As you kill other players, you gain PvP experience. When you get killed in a PvP battle, you can lose some of this experience. It is very difficult to reach maximum level in PvP play.
