I don't consider the EQ team PvP servers "faction vs. faction" pvp. They weren't really factions like DAoC and WoW were. Members of teams started all over the world. You didn't have your own consolidated alliance/kingdom like in DAoC/WoW. The entire game wasn't based around competing factions.

That's a bit of stating the obvious there Reiker [You must be logged in to view images.

I never played it myself, but I feel like I remember people discussing it and certain factions "controlled" certain areas. As in - The darkies raided solb and took that over for xp/gear that day/week/month.. same with seb/com etc. Not quite the same, but actually sounds pretty freaking fun to me.
