You choose to play either defiant or guardian (aion was asmodians vs. Elyos) maynard and I are defiants on the tearfall server. Also, there are roles you can get for pretty much any mmo player. Lots to work with. You can queue for pvp @ level 10 which takes you to the pvp area with your group, against the other side. Also, tearfall is a pvp server, so when you enter certain areas, you're automatically flagged for pvp, but it will warn you first.
