If you take a look at that "The Upcoming Conflict" thread here on the forums, Rias addresses this a bit. Here's a snippet from the first post in that thread:
- I really don't want to allow people having active characters in both factions at the same time. I feel like this would really water down the experience and enable various meta problems, like making a character in the opposing faction just to spy or sabotage from within or whatever.
You think to yourself, "I am surrounded by idiots and petulant children."

You experience a sudden flash of insight, as though you have an increased understanding of who you are.

I know they aren't a guild, but are Mummers still a thing in the setting? What are they like, if so?

After Mistral Lake is released, will new players get an option to join the town at account creation, or will they have to earn their way into the town?

For players with older accounts who are considering joining Mistral Lake, will they have to retire their older shelved characters? What might the transition look like for them?

How will account locking work?

What, specifically, determines whether a disguise counts as a new identity for other people to remember? When I asked on #question, it was said that as much as a different colored cloak should do it, but I tried two different masks and they had the same identity. Are there plans for future expansion of the disguise command, perhaps making it skill-based?

The help file for Steal indicates that it benefits from Stealth. Since you can steal while unhidden, what benefits do Stealth provide? I can't work out a specific roll bonus.

This came up in a voice chat recently. Currently, it is possible to use the paranoia affects that stricken hostile NPCs when you make noise from hiding to disrupt their movement patterns. If you whistle while hidden, Any hostile NPC will begin searching, and its movement becomes slower. I wanted to know if this would be considered an exploit or just utilizing established mechanics strategically. There was also talk about adding roundtime to the action, even if it is for just a second.
