The server will be using a dynamic level range system. Any actions towards another player will increase your dynamic pvp range to match that player's spread. For example:
A level 30 player attacking a level 32 player will increase the range they can be attacked by from 22 to 40.
Anything outside the +/- 8 Levels does not mean you will be able to attack players outside that range. It will only mean you can be attacked by players within the new range. However, If a player outside your 'natural' spread decides to attack you, they will in return also have their own range changed in the same fashion, making them attackable by you.
This change is immediete. For a melee attack it will happen as soon as you swing at the other player. For any spells, the change will be immediete upon the start of a spell cast. This also applies to beneficial spells.

Tested this some earlier. Chap was below my range (lvl34, I'm lvl50), and I tossed him a heal. As I did, it gave the message about my lvl range having now been changed accordingly. His name turns yellow; he could now attack me freely. However, even though he had attacked me, I could not attack back and he was protected from my spells. Tried with a lvl40 guy who was also in zone, and he could also attack me, and I couldn't attack him back either. The lvl40 said that he got a message that he got a message about him being now able to be attacked by levels 32-42.
Is it that the system somehow fails to adjust the other out-of-range players' range after the first ones range has been adjusted? I srsly doubt the point of the system is to create situations where one person is defenseless to the attack of the others, and has no choice but to escape or die. Something also about groups causing this to happen (so it's not just if the higher lvl heals the other guy), but haven't got to figuring out that yet.
On an unrelated note, the guy 16 levels below me was hitting his fire DDs on me every cast np despite me sitting on 85FR at the time. What the hell? =p
