Free PvP and the five teams

Fight anywhere outside a town with no PK penalty by picking a team, and understand what attacking someone outside that system actually costs you.

Free PvP is the sanctioned way to fight other players. Switch it on, pick a team, and anyone on another team is fair game anywhere outside a safe zone, with no penalty on either side.

What each kind of fight costs

SituationWhat it costs you
Free PvPNothing. No penalty is applied at all.
Fighting in job suitsYou lose character EXP and job EXP.
Attacking someone outside either systemYou go Chaos, and the game punishes you for it from then on.
The three are easy to confuse in the moment, and only the first is free.
