I'm confused when you join VvV you don't actually join Vice or Virtue you just sort of show up and fight whoever is in the town.
I'm on origin so there hasn't been much happening.. So far fighting has consisted of following arrows and standing on an alter where someone is hiding and I can reveal and they run away or I can't. I try to engage in conversation to see A) What side they are on and B) what there intentions are for the town.
Does winning or losing a town have any meaning as far as Vice or Virtue or is this just guild points and getting silver for items. If a Town falls to the clutches of evil what does that mean? If its saved from the impeding darkness by the forces of Virtue what does that mean - Does that even have any bearing on the system? Or is this just random individuals, guilds and groups fighting each other for their own glory and to get silver to buy stuff.
Just want to make sure I am not missing what is suppose to be happening, I've always used my sword to protect Britannia, Virtue and pursue the course of Order. I would like to continue to do so.... In the new system I have no idea how I am suppose too do that?? Can I declare myself as part of Virtue and work with other good guilds and people?...Or do I have to just kill anyone that isn't in my guild or alliance because because I don't know them and that makes them bad people and worth killing?
Hopefully I am just missing something or there is more depth to be added to the system.

Originally we proposed having teams of Vice vs Virtue, much in the way that Chaos and Order worked. This, however, didn't go over well as largely established guilds did not, under any circumstances, want to fight alongside their enemies. Thusly, we decided to allow players to make their own teams in the form of their already existing guilds. Right now, a player is free to return the sigil to either Vice or Virtue, without any consequence for that action. Keep in mind, this is only the first step in a long journey. Our goal was to provide a fast paced, nimble, PvP experience that was easy-in/easy-out...so regardless of whether you are sitting down for just 1 or 2 matches or are digging in for the long haul - there is a fight to be had. As we move forward you'll see some official fiction (some of which has already been posted) about how this great war between Vice vs Virtue started, as well as future tie ins to existing features within VvV to add to some depth while still maintaining the pace. We wanted to leave the role playing side of VvV, for those that wish to participate, open for customization on behalf of the guild.
