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.



They trademarked the term RvR.

Exactly.


Server1......vs......Server2......vs......Server3

Faction X............Faction X............Faction X


There is no , blue vs red vs green (or) dark vs light (or) good vs evil


Not one side is different from the other.


I hope this clears things up.
