- pvpType: - One of the following values:
- "arena" if you are in an arena
- "friendly" if the zone is controlled by the faction the player belongs to.
- "contested" if the zone is contested (PvP server only)
- "hostile" if the zone is controlled by the opposing faction.
- "sanctuary" if the zone is a sanctuary and does not allow pvp combat (2.0.x).
- "combat" if it is a combat zone where players are automatically flagged for PvP combat (3.0.x). Currently applies only to the Wintergrasp zone.
- nil, if the zone is none of the above. Happens inside instances, including battlegrounds, and on PvE servers when the zone would otherwise be "contested".
- isFFA: - true if in a free-for-all arena.
- faction: - the name of the faction controlling the zone if pvpType is "friendly" or "hostile".
