Factions players in PvP

Saw a sentinel armor on a female warrior in random team, real close, deadly close, in fact, i died. But i didn't react before the battle was over that there was a sentinel armor among them. So those who got a pre-order key (or whatever it was called) got to play PvP against us "mortals"? do they get to use the new skills too? oh.. another question, will factions players be able to play pvp against prophecies players? and if they will be able to, will they be able to use factions skills. so it's like factions vs prophecies, would be cool.

nah nothing about the preorder here.
it's just during the Faction Preview Event u could create pvp character using new armors. well, if u create a warrior with sentinel armor and never deleted it, u're still using those armors.
no idea about skills but i truly don't think so

If you created a Canthan PvP character during the Factions Preview Event you could keep the characters armour but not use any skills unlocked during the event. Those of us with the pre-order key (me included) get a 1 day headstart (so on April 27th you'll see a big influx of preorder people with factions characters) with factions before we have to wander out and purchase the game from our good ol' local computer games store or get install it because we ordered it online...#
edit: dang beaten to it but my posts more detailed so ignore Dav and worship ME!!
