Example given:

5.11 Will there be designated player versus player and safe areas in the game?

The world will be divided into safe areas, wild areas, and truce areas. In each, the default behavior for PvP will change. Safe areas disallow player vs. player aggression by default, but permit consensual player conflict; player vs. environment combat is still possible in these areas. In wild areas, player vs. player aggression is permitted by default but may result in penalties for the aggressor; player vs. environment combat is also possible in these areas. In truce areas, no player vs. player aggression is permitted, even if it is consensual; player vs. environment combat may also be impossible, depending on the location. In addition to this basic system, there will be exceptions layered on top of these defaults, to facilitate guild warfare and specific faction conflicts.
