===Player versus Environment (PvE)===

On the PvE realms, throughout most of the world, the [[Player versus player|PvP]] flag may only be enabled by actively turning it on using the command <code>/pvp</code> or by attacking a hostile player, entering a city of the opposing faction or casting a buff/healing spell on a friendly PvP-flagged player. In battlegrounds and [[free-for-all]] arenas the PvP flag is also turned on. The PvP flag will be removed when the player has been out of PvP combat for 5 minutes. If the PvP flag was enabled using <code>/pvp</code>, the player will need to turn it off using the same command and then avoid PvP combat for 5 minutes while also residing in friendly territory. In slang, PvE servers are called "carebear" servers because players are not forced into PvP combat, avoiding the danger of getting attacked by players of the opposing faction, thus making PvE content easier to a certain extent.{{citation needed}}
