PVE is more populated.

The ruleset is that PVE has all PVP deactive, so if you swing at someone it goes right through them.

PVP ruleset is that, if they are not on their own tribal lands or Founders Isle, then any attacks that you swing at them with you will hit another player and do damage. Friendly or Enemy it doesn't matter. That is the only difference in the ruleset.

Your inactive Citizen means, you bought the game so you can play for life and you will have all the rights of a paid subscriber but you will be capped to max of 30 in all skills. Also any totem you place, will start to decay if you do not log on.

Welcome back!
