Pvp

Unlike WoW and many other MMO games, the vast majority of EverQuest 2 servers are not PvP (Player versus Player) and are mostly known as blue servers. When a player character is created on these servers its name is highlighted in blue so that they cannot be attacked or harmed by other player characters.

If a player changes to red (by doing a small quest), they can then attack other red players, but only other red players. The rules are slightly different on PvP designated servers, with some allowing combat between all players, some between certain races, some between certain deities (religion) etc.
