There are 3 factions and 2 playable races. The Factions are Elyos, Asmodians and the Balaur (Balur?). The Balur (dragons) are computer controlled and come in to balance PvP or RvR between the Elyos and the Asmodians. The Elyos and Asmodians are the two playable races, the first lives in the light and the second in the dark. They will look different in appearance and we don't really know if there will be differences in stats, but I doubt it.
