There are PVP areas on every server. There is a training server that serves as PVP, since you can respec a character there as much as you want, but the arena is the only place anyone goes.

And anyways, what kind of role player are you if you are a hero that just hangs out with the villains? If they wanted to just hangout and talk, they should have installed second life instead... 2) Like I said, dick move. 1) He said that it was a PVP server and he was in the PVP areas, that's all I got to go by.

I don't understand the attraction, but the RP is full of people who don't actually want play the game, just role play their characters. The RPers generally police their own on that server without too much trouble. 2) (and this is the one that matters) What he was doing was decidedly not PVP. By the hero entrance are police bots that auto-teleport villians back to their start position, which prevents them from going through the hero enternce. The hero side (or your team in the free for all zone) don't get points for the kill, and the only way to normally get to them would be to walk past a bunch of yellow and black caution tape. Every player knows about this, and there's no advantage for the opposing team to go back there. When I left, the current status was that yes, it's a dumb set up, but it was rare enough to handle by the in game GM's giving a warning then booting the player from PVP for a while.
