I would add what is in the parentheses regarding PvP, as that was the only reason why I included PvP. It is a common misconception by people new to CoE that they think PvP is synonymous with only combat.

Some people are using StoE for State of Elyria, because that's definitely how acronyms work.

Thanks for that! I haven't been in the discord for a while so I've never heard that one.
