Wow...against all odds, I did a search for PVP and it returned zero...zilch...nada returns. Anyways, this is primarily a PVE game; however, I think the devs have mentioned that PVP might possibly be added either a) at a later date, or b) as a special server. Sorry, too lazy to look through all the info, just going off of memory.
Here is an excerpt from the current FAQ in regards to pvp
Pantheon is primarily a PvE (player vs. environment) game. In fact, when we say ‘environment’, we don’t just mean NPCs, but also contending with climates and atmospheres, the very world itself. That said, we understand that a portion of our target audience also enjoys player vs. player. Our experience is that separate PvE and PvP shards is the answer, however it is too early to predict how many PvP servers we would launch with. It is also worth mentioning that, when we do eventually focus on PvP we will do so such that tweaks and changes to classes and races in order to make PvP more fun will not affect the balance of Pantheon’s PvE experience.
There are also a few threads in regards to PVP already :) granted the search function doesnt seem to want to work for a querry as small as "pvp" lol

Will there be PvP?

Thank you, Rachael :)
As Rachael has kindly pointed out, we have already answered this via FAQ and have several topics still active on PvP, so I will have to direct everyone over to those topics please as this one will now be closed to keep the information consolidated, sometimes when using the search function it is best to change the field of search to "All" to get the best results and to save creating a new post on a subject that already exists, as it is against forum rules.
