Did the arrest chances go up on Dwilight?  I was arrested by rogues as a priest and that had never happened to me before.

Specifically in the west.

People seemed to think it was there to be a place for everyone it just wander around with impunity. This was never the intent.

What about rogue priests?

I don't believe there's an exception for them...

I'm fairly certain that the differentiation between player-rogues and NPC-rogues was made some time ago. Rogue characters leading troops will battle rogue monsters/undead/peasants. No one should get any kind of free pass just because they happen to be (rogue). It's not a blanket exception from anything.

When Dwilight first opened up, my rogue character was able to travel safely in rogue regions and even place his unit as a rogue militia. Right about when Caerwyn was formed. Am I to assume things have changed since?

Probably. That was 6 years ago, and around the time when I—and Indirik—first joined the dev team, so pretty much anything we have direct knowledge of will, in fact, have changed since then.

The ability of players (priests/advies) to waltz all over Dwilight was one of the reasons the rogue changes were made. People were able to explore and learn things much, much faster than they should have.

There should be an exception for the Emperor of the Occidens.

The Emperor of the Occidens should know better.  ;)

You mean the one trapped in the west? Phantaria's capital is in the west so he must try to rush his way to the east coast and then set sail without being captured again.

Actually, I put an exception in for this kind of case.

When you're released from prison and your realm does not control its capital, you will be treated the same as a rogue who is released from prison, and get to choose a new realm to join.

This will also act as an extra incentive not to lose your capital in war.

Good to know. Are you forced to join a new realm or is it optional?

Well, I suppose you could just sit there at that screen forever...
