Roleplay-PvP
The fantasy, on a contested world. The fifth ruleset. It takes the Roleplaying ruleset's audience and the PvP ruleset's contested world.
Two rulesets, one road
What each half brings, in Blizzard's own terms.
From Roleplaying - Both factions on one account.
- Made for finding like-minded players.
- Blizzard has published no PvP rule of its own for it.
From PvP - Every trip into contested territory carries open-world conflict.
- One faction per account: the first PvP character sets the side.
- Faction balance may pause new characters on one side for a while.
What is known
One idea per block.
Published
Blizzard added Roleplay-PvP as the fifth ruleset in its October update to the rulesets post, and it was selectable during early name reservation.
Not published
Whether the PvP faction lock applies, and any naming or chat rule. This page will not guess at either.
Shared by all
No free switching between rulesets, no cross-ruleset grouping, and battlegrounds that mix every ruleset but Hardcore.
