Sure seems that way. Playing Empire on Port Nowhere, last night, I was finishing up on Voss and people were whining in general about getting repeatedly killed outside the temple of healing. Admittedly, it's easy to camp the res point but still, this is a PvP server. The night before, a bunch of repubs were killing empire at the same spot and instead of whining, we got a bunch of empire together and took it back.
Kudos to Relic guild (main repub guild in the area) for initiating the fun. The battles weren't about valor or comms, it was purely open world, no reward PvP and so much fun.
Darmenhoth(sp) and Revenants of Korriban were the main empire guilds showing up.
