PvP

Unlike most MMOs, there are no factions in Tera. That means if you’re playing on a PvP server, prepare to ganked a billion times--it’s a free-for-all. Players can flag themselves for PvP, which allows them to attack anyone, even lowbies. This also means they can be attacked by anyone.

If that’s not exciting enough, joining a guild allows for some super exciting PvP opportunities, as guilds can declare war on one another. If two warring guilds were to organize, large-scale battles (potentially up to 300-vs-300) could break out anywhere in the world. These battles last until one of the following criteria are met:

-24 hours have passed
-One guild scores a set amount of points
-One guild’s leader forfeits

Your guild can be involved in up to three wars at once, but once a war ends, a cooldown timer activates and your guild must wait awhile before you can challenge the same guild again. Starting and forfeiting a Guild-vs-Guild battle requires a special item that can be purchased from vendors in major cities.
