¶From the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom
Player vs. Environment
A folio of the realm
Commonly referred to as PvE or PvM by most online games and gamers. Simply put, it is the player-controlled character (you) competing against the game world and its computer-controlled denizens, as opposed to Player vs. Player.
Additional notes:
- Player vs. Environment is the dominant form of MMORPG game.
- Also (incorrectly) known as "Player vs. Everything/Everyone".
- In some online games PvE is known as Player versus Monster (PvM for short).
The following facets are considered under the PvE ruleset on all servers except Siege and Mugen.
