Is there any other PvP in Rift beyond Battle grounds?
Lots of it from what I hear on the PvP shards.
Is there something on higher levels to promote RvR or large scale fights except Warfronts? I guess if it is it must be on high level.
Nothing substantial, as in no systems supporting it. Just a sheer desire to go out and gank an individual or camp a town. Supposedly, they want to add a system to encourage RvR. I wouldn't hold your breath though, tbh. "Soon"(™) is pretty popular among newly released MMORPGs, for obvious reasons.
The desire to go out and do it without incentive is combated by the fact that it doesn't really yield anything ingame, beyond any personal sense of enjoyment.

It's a bit sad that a personal sense of enjoyment is not motivation enough...
Im still hoping they add in some sort of world PvP objective as the majority of world PvP is limited to either Stillmoor or Shimmersand and generally in the middle of towns. Fighting in Zeraphs, while fun, often just becomes annoying as all the guards will turn hostil to you the moment you fight an opposing player, even while defending yourself.
For a game so heavily influenced by WAR, the total lack of capturable world PvP objectives is quite odd.
Also Blacknd, your not the Blackend from Seastone are you?

In a game where the endgame is grinding for gear, its pretty understandable. Gear doesn't come from world PvP nearly as fast as other methods.
So, basically, you do not support someone looking for other someones in a multiplayer game?
Intriguing.
Ive never supported global chat channels in an RPG it totally ruins any immersion or roleplaying.
I guess playing Ultima Online for 3 years ( the ultimate sandbox game ) and EQ1 ( beginning of the end ) for 2 years then playing Rift and it hasnt enough content to last 2 months !!

And yet a tool that automatically dumps you into a group with 4 other strangers who you've never met, let alone spoken to, doesn't impact your immersion or roleplaying?
Color me confused.
if you have busy life and you still lov onlin gaming BECAUSE there is real people running around you. you may nbot wanna waste your gametime looking for groups spamming on global channels.
this dude actually is gona resub rift after this tool is invented. i know its faceless peeps dont need to even talk to each others while in dungeons but atleast it gives everyone a change to experience a content of the game without effor tbeing in huge and organized guilds.

Well, not everyone is a Goonie. ^^ For which we should all be seriously thankful... ^^ 1.2 does look like it will have some rather useful additions. But this is first and foremost a PvE game.
If you are a tank you will find that you instantly get groups , healer seems to be a dime a dozen in Rift , but if you are DPS you will have to que .
When you finally get a group after about an hour you will notice you are grouped with a tank called JoeTehNinja who will proceed to roll need and ninja loot everything so he can sell it. So you will all vote kick him in which now you will have no tank so you will then spam LF1M Need tank which will not work because all the tanks will have groups.
So then you disband and rejoin que ...Another hour passes but this time you get BobTheNinja tank .. uh oh noes.
