* <span style="color:white; background:purple">Combatant (purple)</span>
 +
** Non-combatants entering an open world [[#PvP battlegrounds|PvP battleground]] are automatically flagged as combatant and remain flagged for a period of time after leaving that battleground.
 +
** Players are also flagged as combatants if they attack another player. If the attacked players fight back, they are also flagged as combatants, otherwise the attacked player will remain flagged as a non-combatant.
 +
** Players can kill combatants without repercussions, and are encouraged to do so, since dying while a combatant has reduced [[#Player death|death penalties]].
 +
* <span style="color:white; background:red">Corrupt (red)</span>
 +
** If a combatant player kills a non-combatant player, they will be flagged as corrupt.
 +
** If a non-combatant attacks a corrupt player, the non-combatant will not flag as a combatant.
