Pretty much,there's some pve content but the meaning of pve is to give items for rvr. If you don't do rvr in daoc then honestly I don't know what else you would be doing. In the end it's all about rvr.
Actually there is a server, Ghaeris, that is only PvE. There the ruleset is different. Instead of having only players take and hold keeps and towers NPCs try to take them over. It's an interesting ruleset, never got into it that much, but you can play any class from any realm.
DAOC is 2 games in 1. You have both PvE and RvR (PvP). Many people on all but the pure PvP server are mostly or completly PvE players. Of course there is also a pure PvE server. Most of the content in the game is PvE.

Does your guild have a website yet? Find out how easy it is to get one.
Theres PvE, but it's pretty horrible.
If PvE is your thing, theres better MMOs out there.
