Alternate Advancements?

[Exilium]

Too often I see players race to be the high level adventurers only to then find themselves with nothing to do other than log in for scheduled raids. Are there alternate routes for advancement to enhance the adventurer, besides the Border Kindom and said raids? If there is nothing of that nature in the current version of the game, are there plans to implement one a year to a year and 6months after launch?

In general if you use realm points in DAOC, AA in Everquest, Honor in WoW etc they are essentially the same thing as additional levels to the game just in another flavor. We wanted to focus the initial launch on community oriented features and mechanics which we feel are the most important aspect to making "end game" game-play enjoyable. We did have a system for continuing advancement but put it on hold for the time being.
