PVP?

I cannot find any information involving pvp in this game.
Is there pvp?
If so what are rewards and consequences? XP loss? item drops?
Is it a big part of the game?

PVP is possible but since there are no rewards at all it's save to say pvp is currently dead.
When you die you'll lose one level of PeP, decreasing your movement and attack speed as well as your damage output. You don't gain PeP by killing other players.
One of the community managers (Kelas) said in an interview that rewards and a PVP/arena system is planned for the future though.
maybe if they implement full loot, and ranking kills it might make pvp more appealing
There is PvP, but as others said, it is dead. There are no rewards, no purpose (not even simple kill stats) and generally due to lack of population you hardly come around anyone to kill.
Darkfall is One link down. You damn dirty Pvpers can leave the rest of us allone now
P.S. Op i wasent trying to insut you just makeing a statment.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

There is not any loots on Spellborn all armors are for looks they have dress to impress. Instead you get sockets, it is like your character is a socketed weapon from wow so you socket your toon and wear gear for looks kind of thing. Arena is in Spellborn and pvp servers to so you can pvp. You can pvp on pve server to.They all hybrid classes with good balance, that is what I hear, I only hear because they will not release game till end of time. Release game already!
Yes pvp in spellborn.
Actually it is not entirely true. Arena is "in", but the only thing you can do there is duel another player and acording to their last update, it won't be improved till somewhere halfway the year. So practically there is no Arena, it is just duel function in certain building.
You have PvP servers and PvP zones, but those are empty. Nobody goes to those PvP zones on PvE server, because there is no reason to go there. Also since you loose whole rank of PeP if you die in PvP people avoid PvP as a plague, since PeP=faster run speed and that is most valuabale thing in game, since game is full of delivery quests that take 15-20 min. (and you have to do them all, otherwise you cannot level up, for you get very little XP for kills).
They said in the announcement that its a "mid-term" goal, not necessarily a "mid-year" goal. They could mean the same thing, or maybe not. We have yet to determine how fast the devs move on things. They seem more focused on content though which makes sense. There will most likely be more PvE players in TCoS than PvP players. Darkfall and WAR will almost definitely be better developed for PvP.
I like the approach to PvP that the devs are taking on the PvE servers. I look forward to mixing it up a bit while farming crafting materials, but most of the time I don't want to be bothered by people trying to kill me.
