  The new content is more focused on PvE, yet Tera combat system is great for PvP. You can find active PvP community on MT server.
  
  Some time ago servers have been switched to PvP65, which means you can PvP in open world only at max lvl. This was a controversial decision that was supposed to prevent ganking lowbies. Also, most crowded areas (dungeon entrances, cities, dailies area) are PvP free zones. The only exception is GvG which is allowed everywhere except Velika (main city).
  
  Battlegrounds start at lvl 65. The only leveling battleground is Kumas which has little to do with regular PvP and is more like a minigame.
  
  Until level 65 the only form of PvP are duels, but I wouldn't recommend it at all as class progressions are not really PvP balanced till endgame.
  
  On PvP servers you can GvG anyone, on PvE servers the other guild needs to accept it first.
  
  Strongholds (Skycastles) are useless now. These used to be an extra cool form of guild housing for best guilds, but now just a decoration.
  
  After hitting level 65 you have a few options:
  -battlegrounds
  -unofficial duel zone outside Velika
  -hunting random players who acciedentally wander outside safezone
  -ganking tons of casuals during OP open world events so they come to the forums crying because after months of playing this is their first time outside safezone
  -participating in once-per-week mass PvP guild event (Civil Unrest) that has huge fps drops, is unbalanced and full cancer but that's what fun in PvP is
  
  As you can see, it's not dead but there's not much to do rn. If you have average skill, PvP is much less rewarding compared to PvE.
  
  EDIT: Reaching max lvl without powerleveling takes like 10-15 hrs for experienced players, plus time you need to learn your class in your case.

  Nice this is what I was looking for thank you... I have a background in Darkfall online and Shadowbane/ Ultima Online so PvP done right is very important to me. Im actually asking because Im gona hop on the console version asap on release. Do you have a class you would recommend for the battlefield?

  Valkyrie is the newest class and it's absolutely unmatched in PvP. Its only downside is that being so OP means it is very likely to get nerfed in the future. AFAIK using this class as a whole used to be considered bad manners in some community-hosted tournaments.
  
  Warrior is a fun class that shines in 1v1 but is a bit lacking in mass PvP. Not really recommended for 1st class as it's the hardest class to master in terms of PvE and without alts you can't gear up by PvP alone.
  
  Reapers were death machines at release, are still quite strong and not very likely to get nerfed. Not many skills to master, lots of AoE, nice amount of stuns/staggers and decent mobility makes them quite good for 1v1 and extremely deadly in mass PvP.
  
  Brawlers make really fun PvP tanks with almost unlimited amounts of CC. One of the easiest classes to learn in both PvE and PvP (and in high need since it's a tank class).

  My warrior has +9/8 set and people tell me not to come PVP on it as it's only good for 1v1. They tell me to come on my brawler which does actually wreck a group of people easily.

  So dumb. why can't they just allow people that are 5 levels apart from each other to pvp?
