2.
If you want to play the game without training wheels, there is only one option.

This is the most obvious difference. We've really got 2 distinct groups here. One group believes they have the right to be left in peace to play the game as they want to play it. The other group believes that the game world should have as few restrictions as possible, to allow the players the ability to determine war, peace, trade. If if believe that spending the $40 gives you the right to uninterupted, peaceful gameplay...play on peace. If you want to play on a server that offers the best chance for the players to entirely determine econonic, diplomatic, and conflict related agendas, play on war.
As I stated in the initial post, this is purely self serving propaganda.
My goal is to attract a majority population to War.
I want to make the case that Peace is not a viable option for anyone that actually wants to play the game.
War represents the highest level of player freedom, and thus is the best option for anyone actually wanting to play the sandbox.
