There are three levels of flagging for world PvP in [[Ashes of Creation]].<ref name="mmogames_interview">[http://www.mmogames.com/gamearticles/interview-ashes-of-creation-wants-bring-virtual-world-life/ MMOGames interview, January 2017]</ref>
* <span style="color:white; background:green">Non-combatant (green)</span>
** All players start as non-combatants.<ref name="corruption_interview">[https://youtu.be/5E1wn98fczg Corruption interview, Adissaric Mordled, 27-April-2017] [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fvr9KYT104i8WYppCup1v6SUTZFJTobVz8uRHDas4YM/edit (Transcript)]</ref>
* <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.
A player may not flag on members of the same [[Groups|party]], [[Raids|raid]], [[Guilds|guild]] or [[Alliances|alliance]].<ref>[[File:pvp flagging lockouts.png|350px]]</ref>
