"WarCry: Tantalizingly, Mark also mentions "open field RvR" at the end of his letter. Care to elaborate?
James Nichols: Open Field RvR is defined simply as fighting other players in non-instanced zones over specific locations and objectives. Conceptually, this is broken up into 3 actions:
- Players will be able to fight each other with no rhyme or reason other than killing the enemy. Pure bedlam and chaos!
- Players will be able to take and hold specific key areas we call Battlefield Objectives and impact overall Zone Control. Focused bedlam and chaos!
- Players will be able to ... oh, wait, we'll have some breaking news soon to share that will detail our plans for what is essentially focused bedlam and chaos on a GRAND scale."

More and more good news about open world PvP... if they can pull it off... where open world PvP is fun, engaging, fair, and has meaning in the world (i.e. has a great impact on the RvR campaign) then I really do think WAR is going to be my PvP dream-come-true.
I can't wait to see what the big announcement is, though, we already know that they will have a Keep capture/destruction system in place, similar to DAOC from what I hear, and that it'll be in the Empire/Chaos pairing for the next phase of Beta.

Not necessarily unfortunately, the big announcement was the "Keeps".

I think the "Keeps" news was enormous enough, and like I think one of the posters in that thread mentions, maybe we are looking at some kind of Keeps dynamic on a grander scale than DAOC.
EDIT: I am assuming you are referring to the statement in number 3 when you said big announcement.
ya i saw that article when it first came out. nothing huge in it.
Well, IM happy about keeps. I know some DAOC'ers were not happy with prolonged kep sieges, but I sure was. just as long as they make sure the melee have something to do aside from stand around and endlessly whack doors

Hmm...what I noticed is that forum had EA_Mythic employees posting on it.... and we haven't seen one of those posting around here in many months.....

The devs and even Mr. Mbj post there quite often.
Although it may not be completely new news, it's still music to my ears everytime I hear it. Open Field RvR FTW!

In the background somewhere I hear Theodin yelling to his men:

And them answering back:
