Tier 1-3 Zone Control

[EToaster]

I was wondering how players would be rewarded for taking over the opposing zone in one of the earlier tiers other than prior control points for the upper tiers. Do you get to sack the opposing town/camp/whatever?

Victory points form tiers 1-3 spill over to Tier 4 to some extent, so they too contribute something towards avdancing on the enemy city. To what extent that will be useful remains to be seen when the game launches ;)
Also, we have heard that zone control yields some small boni like +x % renown or +x % xp.
I highly doubt we will take over entire towns that early in the game though. That is something reserved for endgame, imo.

That would be what EToaster referred to as "prior control"

Hence the second part of my post, which was edited in after I realized that ;)

From what I remember reading in some dev posts, open world RvR does involve objectives like seizing control of small villages, towers, and other strategic points of interest.
