Zones
Every map has a zone colour. You see it on the banner when you enter a map and next to the map name on the wiki. The zone that counts is the one the target stands in.
PvP by consent: fights happen only when both players have PvP enabled. Switching takes 10 s.
PvP zone: everyone can attack everyone, the switch is ignored.

The PvP toggle
The toggle is the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. It only matters in yellow zones: nobody fights in green zones, everybody fights in red ones.
- Switching takes 10 s. A countdown shows above the icon.
- For 15 s after you deal or take damage from a player you cannot turn PvP off.
- The dot next to a name tells you the state: green is off, red is on or forced by the zone, pulsing is switching, grey with a padlock is locked.
Who can attack whom
Your party and your guild are always protected, whatever the zone. A guild leader can turn the guild protection off.

Fighting a player
- Damage between players is multiplied by 60%, so fights last longer than against monsters.
- Stuns, slows and other control effects last 50% of their normal time on players.
- A kill counts for the player who last hit the victim within 10 s.
- After you respawn, nobody can attack you for 10 s. Attacking ends that protection at once.
Arena and duels
On the city arena you can challenge a player to a duel, even in the green zone. An invitation lasts 30 s, the fight starts after a 3 s countdown and lasts at most 3 min. During a duel you only fight each other and nobody loses items.
Titles
Titles come from your level, the main story, duels and fights with players. The title you pick shows above your head.
