PvP
Definition
PvP is an abbreviation for Player versus Player fighting, where the opponents are controlled by human players, rather than the game.
See also PvE (Player versus Environment).
Usage in Wurm
- Some of Wurm's servers are defined as PvP, which means that players can attack each other without having mutual consent.
- The activity of attacking players as opposed to attacking creatures (PvE) on PvP servers.
