Perma-PvP-tagged?

Might be a newbish question, but hey, that's what we're here for.

How do you become perma-pvp-tagged? Is the perma temporary? If so, why is it called perma? I just see all sorts of people throwing this out and I haven't got the slightest clue what they mean.

What sort of server are you on?

If its a PvP server then you are fair game anywhere once you are past level 20 (I think).

On a PvE serveer you can toggle your PvP status with /pvp.

I'm talking about pve servers. Some say they're perma-pvp, or someone is perma-pvp. I know you can toggle, I know you're fair game on pvp-servers if you're out of your "homelands". Well, anyhow...

If they are on a PvE server then it would mean that they leave their PvP permanently flagged PvP hence the Perma-flagged statement.

i have a friend who plays like that on our PvE server as he prefers the challenge and loves getting ganked

I think there's mods that will let you automatically toggle PVP when it is off.

No such thing as a true perma-pvp flag. Whether in a PvP or PvE server a player can flag himself and keep it that way since level 1. By doing this one would refer to oneself as perma-flagged, but this is not 100% accurate since it is the player's option.

BTW I used to do this on a PVE til I realized that there was absolutely no advantage for it besides RP reasons or you're masochistic. Only higher levels or parties will attack you. You will never have a fair fight flagged in PvE.

On RP servers certain guilds require their members to be permanently flagged.

An excercise in not thinking it through?

"Oooh, but it's better for immersion"

I assume it hurts the immersion less than being ganked and magically coming back to life for no readily apparent reason.

Bless those RPers.

*shrugs*

Back when there were no RP-PVP servers, this was the only way to roleplay a group of dedicated enemies of the Horde/Alliance.

why not just roll on pvp server then? (or rppvp if that's your cup of tea)

like someone said, on pve server it means your oponent automaticaly gets the first shot every single time, and only people who have a clear advantage will fight you to begin with.
on pvp server you never know who you'll run into and have to fight, could be weaker, could be stronger, could be equal
