I thought it was the PvE servers where you had safe, contested and enemy zones? If you are foolish enough to wander into the enemy cities you can be attacked... There's battlegrounds on the PvE servers which gives you the option of straying into a PvP area -if-you-want-to but allowing you to actually play the game without fear of some bast. 20 levels above you deciding he's bored and flattening your ass while you're innocently trying to do some quest or other! PvE sounds a bit more like TCS-mentality, and PvP a public-server mentality?

That's what I thought it was monkey:
PvE - no pvp apart from in contested zones (specific bounded areas of the world where pvp is enabled.  The side controlling the zone gets certain benefits like you would in battlefield or battlefront).  They had a similar idea to this at the start of SWG, but they never got it to work properly  
PvP - an open free-for-all where evil versus good pvp could take place anywhere anytime.

Thats what I though the difference in servers was tbh, with RP being specifically orientated towards role playing.

Did I misunderstand?

On normal servers (PvE), you can enter into player-versus-player combat by storming enemy capitals, entering special PvP zones called battlegrounds, or by attacking the guards in enemy cities. In all cases, you have a choice to engage in PvP combat or not. You can duel with anyone, including your own race or even guild anywhere you like, aslong as both parties agree. Several guilds encourage dueling as part of their activities.

On PvP servers, there are many zones that are flagged as contested territory. In these zones, players from opposing factions can attack each other freely i.e. you can't decline a fight. Thus, you could be fighting monsters by yourself, only to be killed by a stealthed enemy rogue. PvP servers also enable PvP combat through Battlegrounds, attacking enemy guards, and entering enemy capitals. These contested zones include quest areas, so in order to advance a player you will have to enter these zones to complete quests and level up.

Personally I like the idea of PvE servers and the battlegrounds they include. It allows for questing without having to fight real people and also battlegrounds where guild wars and the like can take place. You get the best of both worlds here.

I never took part in much PvP stuff, but alot of the problems arise when u are fighting monsters and after a close won battle u get ganked by the "stealthed rogue", who was waiting for you to be low on health befor attacking.

But then you go get you guild mates and go take revenge on the lowely coward.

Im so tempted by this game now

Sadly all we to do now is live through all the teething troubles that come with new MMORPGs. I and most of Stormwind City have just been dumped rudely of the server. Fortunatley I was just setting up a camp fire to cook my first fishing success. Oh and I'm in a Guild, or at least I've signed up to one.
