PvP is different from DAoC, but no less action packed. Many zones have quest hubs where the quests lead you to places that overlap with the other faction, so conflict over spawns, or just general killing people for XP/Favor. Just to put it into comparison, a quest that would take 10-15 minutes to complete might yield 2500-4000 xp, while killing a player would yield 2000 xp. Favor is another factor, since it is a currency to purchase gear/equipment.
The thing I like about RIFT is the simple fact that I am not pigeonhold into one class with a character. I can XP level with my Saboteur/Ranger spec, then decided to go PvP with my Saboteur/Assassin or run some rifts with my Bard spec. Each are different in the way they are played, so I can easily swap out given the situation.
I honestly do not like Warfronts (Battleground) since I usually get put into pubbie groups that are absolutely terrible.
As for splitting the classes from the OP, that is not how the game is built. There are FOUR (4) classes in RIFT, Warrior, Cleric, Rogue and Mage. Splitting up the Souls like that is the OLD way of thinking about MMOs. Now they could easily add a third faction, since the current world in RIFT is only one continent. But each faction would get the same Classes and access to the same Souls.

I was told years ago that the reason no other game has 3 realms is because Mythic has the patent on it, so everyone has to make 2 "factions" or realms. IDK how true that is, but makes you wonder though.

Not true because then someone would have patented 2 factions lonnnggg ago
I believe they did copyright the term RvR/Realm vs Realm though. Don't quote me on that though.

I also heard Mythic had copyright for the term Mythic.
Seriously doubt any game could copyright exclusive use of 2, or 3 realm/faction mechanics. That would be like only one game could offer quests. Does not compute.
