	WoW -> PvP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Another benefit of team-based PvP is that it splits the sides evenly and makes our communities smaller, which in turn makes it a lot easier for players to develop friendships with their groups, create guilds, and to get to know everyone in the community.
		Players on the PvP server will be familiar with contested territory, but for players on the normal servers, they will find it more dangerous because the moment they set foot in this zone, they can be attacked by the opposing side.
		All players who participate in PvP will be able to track their rankings and successes not only through their weekly tallies in-game, but also through our World of Warcraft rankings website, which will be updated weekly with all the ranks and accomplishments on each server.

	Player versus player - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Player versus player, or PvP, is a type of combat in MMORPGs, MUDs and other computer role-playing games pitting a player's skill against another's, where the goal is ultimately the death of the opponent's player character.
		It is the antithesis of combating mobs, known as player versus monster (PvM) or player versus environment (PvE).
		Player versus monster or PvM is the traditional system used in most MUDs (as opposed to player versus player, which focuses primarily on combat between human players).

	Player versus Player - GuildWiki
		While in PvE human players fight cooperative together against computer-controlled foes, or they can also compete in the PvP arenas, as long as they have access to the area where the arena is hosted.
		While the PvP outposts are also separated into territories just like PvE, when playing matches your opponent might be from any territory even if you don't go to the International District.
		It is generally considered polite for players to say "good game" or "GG" after a match (although sometimes it is taken as sarcastic).

	Everquest 2 OGaming - The New PvP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Simply based on the fact that there is a poll on the official boards asking the player base on whether they want a new system gives credibility to the argument that the developers intend, with their customers consent, to build a new and better player versus player dynamic.
		With that said, even before we talk about whether this new player versus player systems should be available on all servers, or just special rule sets, I am ready to dismiss it right away: there is simply no use for it, lore wise.
		I don't know, you don't know, only the developers know how this player versus player system will play out and what the timetable is. I only hope that it's not a huge project, like the combat revamp that we experienced with the launch of the Desert of Flames.

	WoW -> PvP -> Battlegrounds Part II
		Enemy players might choose to resurrect in the tunnels leading into Alterac Valley and harass your side's players, but as the entire zone will be firmly in your control, it will be difficult for any opposing players to mount any sort of effective counterattack.
		Players can significantly reduce the reconstruction time, though, by capturing the nearby mine and delivering supplies between the mine and the base.
		Two other quests can also be accomplished by players, and their rewards have enormous influence on the outcome of a hotly-contested Battleground.

		Players who are considerably higher level then their target do not gain innate bonuses to the amount of damage they deal (as is the case in PvE), or ease of landing spells and combat arts.
		In the event of an honorable death, players will drop a percentage of their coin into a chest that can be looted by anyone who gained rewards for the kill (or the player who died if they make it back to the chest in time).
		While some players will be ready to have at it swords a-swingin' and spells a-flyin' from the get-go, others will need to familiarize themselves with their character a bit before joining the fight.

		PvP, player versus player, gameplay dynamics in an MMORPG have always been a difficult nut for designers to crack.
		For every player of the opposing faction that one kills, one accrues honor points (based on the level of the player and the amount of damage one did in order to kill that player).
		The PvP gameplay that Blizzard has engineered is fun and therefore every player wishes he had more diverse areas and ways in which to appreciate it.

		PvP has also introduced a new concept of "contested zones"--now every zone in the game is in one of three states: friendly, enemy, or contested.
		The trainable "tracking" skill, which lets players sniff out friends and foes alike on the game's mini-map display, helps somewhat against this kind of stealth tactic, though this ability currently can't detect hidden rogues (which can turn invisible to their enemies if their stealth skill is high enough).
		Players can also use the new mail system to send messages to each other, even when their friends aren't online, by using mailboxes located near inns.

		This is another fundamental building block of any quest/mission system, where the player is instructed to go and talk to an NPC to satisfy the stage requirements.
