At least your character gets to attend tournaments....since infiltrators were no longer allowed with one of the updates (months ago), I haven't had a character at a tournament in a long time.

Just a bit of a devil's advocate style question here: If the colonies disappeared, would even the player playing there notice? I've been on the colonies in Assassins for a week now, and only seen a single message, a welcome from the ruler. Got my first tax from my estate: 4 whole coins.

There are nearly a dozen regions that don't even appear on the map, making travel a royal bitch. Just about all regions seem to be extremely poor.

I just kind of have to ask: Is there a point to the Colonies at all?

Just because we don't message you doesn't mean we don't see you there.  Most infiltrators have minimal communication by design.

As for the map, hell yes it would be nice to have the map updated but since it's the Colonies it never gets much love in the keep it up to date department and I don't see that changing now especially if more characters leave due to the emigration.

Isn't that supposed to happen simply because being an infiltrator requires being in the realm for a given amount of time? I forget the IC rationale... Something about waiting long enough to not look suspicious, maybe.

That would be news to me...not saying it's not possible but it's a change from previous behavior.  Infiltrators are "dishonorable" so not sure why being suspicious would have anything to do with it.

It's probably a bug, so don't get too upset about it until you report it.

I filed a bug and was told it is not a bug, it's by design.   Not sure when it became "by design" however as I've been playing infiltrators for nearly a decade and never had the issue until this forced emigration.

Why does the infiltrator sub-class get removed when a character is emigrating?  It makes no sense from a game play standpoint (they aren't suddenly going to forget how to be skilled in infiltration or less "dishonorable") and since this is forced emigration due to islands sinking and/or shifting due to character limitations, it makes even less sense.

there have been some sh*tty changes in the past but this change will all but drive me from the game.  I have no desire to have characters on some islands and now I'm forced to chose whether to pause characters for an artificial reason in game or ship them to a new island where I have no desire to play them.  what a crock.
