What can set this game apart is the rift faction warfare. What do we know about the depth of rift faction warfare ?

In the Abyss there are two types of capturable resources - Artifacts and Castles, that can be claimed by Legions (it's how Guilds/Clans are called in this game).

Castles have a time before they can be retaken that is shown on mouse over, with a broadcast "Castle X is now capturable.", and they do have NPCs helping in the protection.

The Abyss map has some useful information, which includes the icon if a capturable point is under attack, who owns it, which race is under control of that area and the time until next capturable period, and another specific one in the case a Balaur Carrier Ship is en route to a Castle (when the NPC faction decides to deal a massive attack, the circunstances for it to happen are unknown) along with a broadcast.

There is much more to this, but my experience is theorical only, by looking into the map for the Abyss and a few Youtube videos.
