[[PvE]] stands for '''Player versus Environment'''. It's meant do designate any situation in which a player (or group of players) is working to overcome a difficulty presented to them by the game itself or by an AI opponent. This as opposed to '''[[PvP]]''', '''Player versus Player''', where they're working to defeat another human player (or another group of human players).

Any single-player game is by definition entirely [[PvE]].

Traditional games like chess or checkers would be entirely [[PvP]], unless played on the computer against an AI opponent.

===MMOs===

MMOs like Ryzom tend to be mostly focussed on [[PvE]], usually with a few [[PvP]] activities mixed in. Hence why in MMOs the term [[PvE]] tends to be meaningful only when you mean to contrast to [[PvP]].

Often the terms are understood to mean:
*[[PvP]]: Any activity that involves fighting characters controlled by other players.
*[[PvE]]: Any activity that involves fighting characters controlled by the AI.

But sometimes they're also used in the broader definition:
*[[PvP]]: Any activity where the challenge is to compete with and defeat other players,
*[[PvE]]: Any activity where the challenge is completely generated by the computer.

Note that situations where the players fight characters controlled by a game-master or an event team are generally considered [[PvE]]. Even if in this situation there are actual people controlling the enemy characters, those people aren't players of the game. Rather, they're game officials whose job is to provide challenges for the players, thus they're considered 'part of the game'.

It's rather futile to give specific examples of [[PvE]] activities in Ryzom, since most of the game is [[PvE]]. Usually in MMOs one lists the [[PvP]] activities and assumes the rest of the game to be [[PvE]]. In Ryzom, the most notable example of an activity specificity designed for [[PvP]] is the fighting over [[outposts]].
