Will the MMO be using any sort of good v. evil, chaos v law, yin v. yang, Apollonian v. Dionysian, or whatever other alignment system?

I've stated I think the D&D system is absurd, but until recently Layonara has been populated almost entirely by "hero" sorts, and villains have been mostly NPCs, and the alignment system embedded into nwn has been how that's been controlled. So will this be more of a dragoncalled model where it's assumed the players are in some part working towards the demise of the major villains, or will the PCs be able to be whatever kind of character they want hero or villain, or will it be some sort of compromise, a la the current system, where characters can be evil/villains only after a certain amount of time and RP?

I don't necessarily have an opinion one way or the other, but it does shape how the game feels.
