An example of this type of PvP element can be found on MMOs such as Audition Online (2004) where while players are not directly killing each other's avatars as traditionally found in MMOs, they are still competing against each other during certain game modes in a Player versus Player setting. In addition to this, not all PvP games feature a player's avatar experiencing death. In 2000, in response to complaints about malicious player-killers, Ultima Online controversially added an extra copy of the game world to each server in which open PvP was disabled. With the popularity of EverQuest in 1999, primarily consisting of PvE elements (with the exception of limited PvP on one specific server), PvP became a negative for some newer/casual MMORPG players and developers looking to draw a larger crowd. However, these games tended to be unfriendly to more casual players. The later Eve Online (2003) refined Ultima Online's original approach of "PvP anywhere but in town" (where attacking another player is dangerous in and around towns due to interference from NPC "guards").
In Meridian 59, the game tried to focus PvP by having different political factions for players to join. This system also exists in Tibia, where death includes significant penalty, and killing someone inflicts considerable harm to their character. In Ultima Online, the goal was to allow players to police themselves in a " frontier justice" way. Other early MMORPGs, including Meridian 59 (1996), Ultima Online (1997), and Tibia (1997) also had PvP combat as a feature. Extremely popular, its ideas influenced the MUD world heavily. Genocide, an LPMud launched in 1992, was a pioneer in PvP conflict as the first "pure PK" MUD, removing all non-PvP gameplay and discarding the RPG-style character development normally found in MUDs in favor of placing characters on an even footing, with only player skill providing an advantage. Much of the PvP activity was coordinated events by the game's guilds, which were the first such organized user groups in MMORPGs. Later modifications expanded its use to limited areas so that players who wished to avoid it could do so. PvP was initially limited to magical attacks in the game. The first graphical MMORPG was Neverwinter Nights, which began development in 1989 and ran on AOL 1991–1997, and which included PvP. Player versus player was coined sometime in the late 1980s to refer to the combat between players that resulted in the loser being penalized in some way. These games had open worlds where any player could attack any other player as long as they were not at a safe spot in town like the Bank. The term PvP originated in text based MUDs played on bulletin board systems like MajorMUD and Usurper. However, while the ability to kill another player existed in many MUDs, it was usually frowned upon because of general strict adherences and heavy influences from tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons.
PvP combat in CRPGs has its roots in various MUDs like Gemstone II and Avalon: The Legend Lives. PvP is often referred to as player killing in the cases of games which contain, but do not focus on, such interaction. PvP can even encourage experienced players to immediately attack and kill inexperienced players. In most cases, there are vast differences in abilities between players. PvP is often controversial when used in role-playing games. PvP can be broadly used to describe any game, or aspect of a game, where players compete against each other. The terms are most often used in games where both activities exist, particularly MMORPGs, MUDs, and other role-playing video games, to distinguish between gamemodes. This is often compared to player versus environment (PvE), in which the game itself controls its players' opponents. Player versus player ( PvP) is a type of multiplayer interactive conflict within a game between human players.
