Glossary Entry: PVP
Definition
PVP stands for "Player verses Player".
In a PVP-enabled area, players are able to attack each other. This can encourage competitive or aggressive playstyles, or simply be a means for players to spar with each other.
However, not everyone likes this sort of gameplay, so parts of a game where this feature is enabled are usually clearly marked.
Contrast PVE.
