Are there pure PvE servers?

Are there servers where gameplay is purely coop or PVE?

Absolutely not.

Thanks. It looked promising, but can't stand PvP personally - but I have no problem when devs have a vision and stick to it.

If you stick to yellow zones and blue only its pve enough but you won't enjoy the game very long. Better off playing something else are if you do play just book it every time you see a hostile player

The first two comments are incorrect, at least sort of. No PvP is allowed in blue zones unless you agree to a duel, enlist with a faction, or otherwise agree to PvP. I guess that a zone is not a server, but the point is, you can 100% play this game without participating in PvP.

Yellow zones are similar to blue; players have the option to flag themselves as hostiles and attack non-combatants, but the rewards are little and penalties steep, so very few do this. If you do get ganked in a yellow area, you lose very little, just have to pay a bit of silver to keep your gear in hood shape.

Only in red and black zones is PvP a constant threat. Eventually the lure of the better resources, treasures, and profits in the red and black zones becomes great enough to counterbalance the danger of being ganked, at which point you'll join the rest of us in at least visiting there occasionally, if not living there full-time.

Except, crucially, almost all of the mid-lategame content takes place in those black zones. If you play albion exclusively in the yellow zones, you're playing a much less fun game.

Thanks Ophi, that's kind of what I figured. As I said or at least implied, PvP is not for me, and I won't play a game where I am penalized for not participating, forced to play only a lessened portion of the game. It is a design decision that makes sense in a game where PvP participation is accepted as a must, but I just won't be bothered with it.
