+==Flagging Status==
-Common terms in PvP are:
+You can determine another player's flagging status by looking at their name, healthbar, or hovering over their character while in war mode. The color they appear to you determines what will happen if you attack them.
-* '''Perma Red''' - An obsolete term, it refers to characters who were rendered permanently red because of the rule set in effect at the time ("bouncing" back and forth between red and blue status too many times). Perma Reds are no longer part of the game.
+===[[Blue]]===
-* '''[[Red]]''' - These are [[Murderer]]s, [[PK|Player Killers]] or [[PK]]s

Two minutes after your last damage to a blue target will return you to being blue yourself.
-* '''Perma Gray''' - Another obsolete term, it refers to a state thieves would be subject to after a successful steal.  'Perma gray' would only be lieften upon death.  While a thief is perma gray, he or she would remain and appear gray only to the person they stole from.  And while they would appear blue to everyone else except their victims, they would still be freely attackable by anyone without consequence.  A common practice at the time this rule was in effect was to commit suicide intentionally to remove perma gray status.  Others include tricking others into thinking you were perma gray in order to have them flag as [[aggressors]], often resulting in a guard whack.  Perma grays are no longer part of the game.
-* '''[[Gray]]''' - [[Criminal]]s, [[Stealing|Thieves]], players who have stolen from an [[NPC]] or player, or players who have helped a [[Red]].
-* '''[[Blue]]''' - [[Innocent]] players and NPCs.
-* '''[[Trammie]]''' - A pejorative used to describe characters who do not venture to Felucca and thus do not engage in PvP.

-* '''House PvP''' - This is when one or more players inside a house either commence a battle on opposing players outside, or are chased into a house from outside and continue the fight while trapped inside. The players inside and out attempt to build up powerful combinations or pull off coordinated attacks with others to "snipe" their opponents, as lines of sight through the house are only open for a few seconds at most. This type of PvP can be frequently be witnessed around the [[Yew]] gate in [[Felucca]].
-* '''Guild Wars''' - When players in two or more guilds wish to declare war on each other, frequently for roleplaying purposes, they can do so through the guild system. The guild war can be set up to end after a certain time period, a certain number of kills, or can be set to last indefinitely.
-* '''[[Vice vs Virtue]]''' - Two sides battle for control of virtue cities in the Felucca facet. This replaced the [[Faction]] system.
