Dunno if this has been announced yet, and generally you can only trust people from the Acolytes for good info on AoC on this forum, but its official:
RP-PvP is IN!
Wooo!
I'm no carebear, and leet names make me want to stab my eyes out... so I'm happy.

such as baning people that blatantly spam noncence or harass the RPers?
If so I may try RPing out.... never could get into it because of the jerks. (in WoW)

All the RP community has asked for is a strong name filter, and what you talked about being classified as harassment and being handled like it would on any server [harassment that is]...
There have been thoughts of trying out the Bounty System on RPvP servers...
its basically an anti-griefer NPC squad that hunts em down, makes em pay a gradually larger fine, or kills/imprisons them...

I like it... would be even cooler if players could exept bounties and hunt other players...
would add alote of depth to the game

Yes, this news makes me a very, very happy man. Roleplaying is fun, but so far the RP worlds i've been in have been fairytale type nice worlds, it would be so much more fun to RP in a savage, brutal world like Hyboria. Not having RP-PVP would have been a crime, so im really happy they decided to do it after all.
The problem with allowing players to accept bounties is that the person with the bounty on his head could work it up to a massive amount, then let his freind kill him for it and split the prize.
As to RP enforcement, one of our members managed to get one of the devs to positively state (on IRC, so I can't quote it unfortunately) they would be heavily enforcing the above mentioned naming filter on any RP dedicatd servers. Which led to us establishing naming guidelines of our own in the hope that our people won't have to change their name on launch day.
For the rest, Funcom and their ARK program were quite excellent at dealing with the assholes one finds tromping through an RP session in Anarchy Online. Even if they don't broaden their definition of harrasment for the sake of RP servers, I am personally quite confident that the level of... protection for roleplay events will be adequate. The mild offenders can be ignored as always, and in this game, slaughtered.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Cool im not an rper but its nice that they are thinking of including other game features to make different server types stand out more.
