Yellow Zone
Yellow zone is where there’s PVP but non-lethal. That means that if you die in these zones through PVP you don’t lose any gear, you just lose durability.
Players can flag themselves for PVP and you can see how many players are flagged on the lower right of the screen. To the left of the zone name is the number of flagged players for PVP in the zone.
Red Zone
These zones are full loot PVP ones, that means you lose all your items when you die here. These zones also are usually the ones that have higher tier resources and mobs. You will still get reputation loss though when you kill a player not flagged for PVP.
Black Zone
When you’re in a black zone you’re automatically flagged for PVP. These zones are full-loot PVP and there is no reputation loss when killing other players. The only black zones you can go to are in the outlands and they offer the best resources and loot in the game.
