What can I gain and lose in a PvP conflict?
You will gain Faction Points and lose Faction Points with certain groups when you attack any character (player and AI), with some exceptions (e.g., animals do not have faction status). You may also gain Faction Points with allied factions for attacking their enemies. You will gain skill experience by fighting another player-character, just as you would if fighting an AI character. If you are defeated, your body will be lootable to a small degree – victors will receive random items from you, and you will be able to designate a small set of items as “unlootable.” This system will undergo many tweaks and is not set in stone – it will have to be extensively play tested. You will not lose skill experience by being defeated.
