Also on the same event I was able to play a WAR battleground, pretty much similar to WoW, but I hope the PvP will not just be battlegrounds, that would suck.

We have to wait for more details on both games I guess...

There are actually several ways to PvP. The battlegrounds are a component
of the land control system. In this way, they are functionally different from
the pvp instances in WoW (at least back when I was playing WoW, unless
they've altered the system to make it have an impact on the game world).
So even if it is a similar game of capture the flag, the goal is a component of
a larger strategy of conquering territory, which is a significant difference. I
recommend going to www.warhammeronline.com and watching the
pvp/battlegrounds podcast andthe RvR podcast.. They explain how the land
control scale is balanced. I like the system the way they describe it. Taken as a
whole, it has nuances that WoW lacks (or lacked when I was playing). If WoW
is that nice T-Rex skeleton you see in the Smithsonian, then WAR would be the
monstrocity. Sure they're the same species, but one is more fleshed out.
