Editing Realm versus realm

'''Realm versus realm''', often abbreviated as RvR, is a type of gameplay where players band together as a faction in order to battle against an opposing faction. The strict interpretation of realm versus realm comes from MMO "[[Dark Age of Camelot]]", where three "realms", or factions, vye for control of the land.

In later video games, such as [[World of Warcraft]] and [[RIFT]], realm versus realm is implemented in the form of ''battlegrounds'', which are self-contained arenas where a group of players from opposing factions do battle, without interfering in the wider world.

''[[EVE Online]]'' also has a similar approach to RvR, called ''factional warfare'', where players battle over territory by "enlisting" in an NPC corporation explicitely designed for players to co-ordinate strikes against targets allied to opposing empire factions.
