My ultimate QUESTION!

[zophine]

Ok guys i play on a RP realm with my 57 hunter,42 warlock,41 paly.[All Alliance].Whats the differnce from RP,PVP,PVE?? I raided on RP but it wasnt fun all the guards owned me :(

[illcutyafoo]

tbh i have no idea what RP realms are i just kno that it isnt fun. on PVP servers whenever you go into a contested area or the horde area you will be flagged as PVP and likely killed in the lower levels. in PVE i believe you have a choice wether you want to be flagged in contested areas. im not pro and im sure theres more to it than that, but thats the jist of it.

You have a 57 hunter, 42 warlock, 41 palladin, and you don't know the difference? AND you get owned by guards?

Why do I smell a bought account? Anyways, on topic:

The difference between RP, PvP, and PvE is:
RP=You play as if you really ARE the character, you don't talk like: oh, I gotta get to the badroom. (never ever, unless you use OOC which actually isn't legit either). You can't just kill anyone unless they've turned PvP ON.

PvP=No RP-ing, at least you don't HAVE to. But you can kill anyone whenever you feel like doing that.

PvE= No RP-ing. But you can't kill anyone unless they've got PvP turned ON.

And then you got RP-PvP, which is RP-ing, PLUS you can kill anyone whenever you want.

So, that's basically it.

RP = Role Play. People on these realms tend to delve deep in to the lore aspect. They immerse themselves as their character. You can't have character names like, "lolarmor" or "pewpewnelf" or crap like that.

PVP = Player vs. Player. Outside of starting zones you are liable to be killed by a member of the opposing faction at any time.

PVE = You cannot engage a member of the opposing faction unless you flag yourself for PVP or are in your territory.

Combine RP with either of those types and you have just that. RP PVP and RP PVE.

Ok well its not a bought.Its not excatly "my" account its my uncles but he has another acct for BC. I understand RP cant transfer to PVP but i heard also if you upgrade to BC you have a choice to change to any realm?

[Toolio]

You can transfer from an RP-PVP to a regular PVP. You can transfer from any type of PVP to any type of PVE. However, you cannot transfer from PVE to any form of PVP.

[Stigg]

Understand.
RP only means Roleplaying. you can be on a PVP server and be on a RP server at the same time.

its called. dun nuh nuh, you ready for it? RPPVP.

SImilarily there is RP normal servers.

And you aren't allowed to use your uncles acount.

[zophine]

Can you transfer Rp to RP PVP?

[Zuline]

tbh i have no idea what RP realms are i just kno that it isnt fun.

You don't know what they are yet you KNOW they aren't fun?
Do you even realize what you've just said? How do you know they aren't any fun if you don't even know what they are?
That's like my daughter telling me she doesn't like carrots and she's never tried one!

And to the OP, Stigg is correct. Using your "Uncle's" account, or anyone else's account will get the account banned by Blizzard.

Can you transfer Rp to RP PVP?

I'm assuming you mean RP-PVE (or a Normal realm) to an RP PVP realm. The answer is no. You are never allowed to transfer from a Normal realm in to a PVP realm. But you can do the opposite.

But why? Because leveling up a character on a PVP realm subjects you to being killed more frequently than on a PVE realm. You WILL die more often. Leveling WILL be more difficult. It would be ideal for people to level up their characters on a PVE realm then transfer them to a PVP realm once they hit 70. That's not cool. So Blizz doesn't allow it.

Ok but still unanswered

i heard also if you upgrade to BC you have a choice to change to any realm?

[Toolio]

Ok but still unanswered

i heard also if you upgrade to BC you have a choice to change to any realm?

Not true. Whoever told you that was mistaken.

[zophine]

Ah so it transfers you to the same realm?

[Zuline]

You can create a new character on any realm at any time.
You can only transfer a character from a PVP to a PVP or a PVP to PVE. You can never transfer PVE to PVP, whether it's RP or not. And of course it costs money to this. $25 US. I believe and it takes a while

BC has nothing to do with transfers

[zophine]

Ok if i get this PVP->PVE ....Rp->PVE ?

[Zuline]

Ok if i get this PVP->PVE ....Rp->PVE ?

Almost, let's do it again

PVP to PVP
PVP to PVE
RPPVP to RPPVP
RPPVP to RPPVE
or PVP to RPPVP
or PVP to RPPVE

But never PVE to PVP, whether it's RP or not. The RP doesn't really matter, it's the PVP and PVE that matters.

[zophine]

ok im still a bit confused..Can normal RP transfer to anything?{You can tell im a bit dump but its confusing}

[Zuline]

NO, Normal is the same as PVE (just another way to say it).
when you want to transfer from a PVE realm you must go to another PVE realm. You cannot go to a PVP realm

[zophine]

AH OK thanks i think i got it :)

[Your Average WoW Player]

This (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/realmtypes.html) should answer all of your realm type questions.

PvE Realms and Normal Realms are the same thing.

Also, I don't think RP (either type) can transfer out of RP, nor can a Non-RP transfer into an RP. But I'm not 100% sure on that.

[zophine]

Ah ok cause i wanted to go RPPVE->PVE

[Zuline]

If you would have just said that's what you wanted to to in the beginning we could have saved alot of time here.

[zophine]

Sorry but it was all good info.

Well, first off, technically, there are no "PvE" servers. There are PvP, and Normal servers. The difference is a matter of being able to choose to join in PvP on a fight-for-fight basis, or not to. PvP servers are more or less "mandatory PvP" in contested areas, while Normal servers are optional PvP -- you choose or not to choose whether to participate in PvP or not. They are not "PvE" servers in the strictest sense, because there is, in fact, PvP that does take place on these servers. In the world, as well as the Battlegrounds and Arenas.

Like others have said, RP is for Roleplaying. The idea is that rather than juggling numbers and statistics, you actually play the role of your character -- interact with other player/characters as if you are part of a living, vibrant world. There's some rules and guidelines to assist in this which are added to RP servers. When they work, they are cool -- but aren't for everyone.

There also are RP/PvP servers, which the difference between RP and RP/PvP is the same as Normal and PvP that I explained above.
