PvP and defeat rules
PvP is always enabled. Players do not need to hostile-flag, and Royal Continent reputation penalties do not govern combat. Party, guild, and alliance membership protect allies from ordinary attacks.
The Outlands
The Outlands contain high-value open-world objectives, hideouts, territories, resources, and large-group warfare. Most Royal Cities connect to the Outlands through Realmgates.
Preparing to enter
Treat every neutral player as a possible threat. Use an affordable set, plan exits, watch map markers, and understand where your character will respawn before carrying valuable cargo.
