I'm not sure... while it's been mostly manageable in my corner of the woods - though it indeed requires constant patrolling to stay manageable - there are starting to form big rogue patches which will breed monsters and undead at an accelerated rate. We may see big hordes emerge from there that could shake realms that have been spared the worst so far.
Food is also becoming more and more of a problem.
Before Djembe was lost to the monsters, it had 24k of rogues inside of it ;-)
