I suspect the same will hold true in PvP zones. Vigilantes fight on the side of Heroes and Rogues on the side of Villains.
Hmmm I wonder if this would prevent say an L50 Villain that is still Rogue status from accessing Blueside arcs in Ouro? I'd imagine that changing completely to a hero would have to be done for that.

But as long as the Rogue can access Blueside and do things like the TF's.......

The market limitation doesn't matter much to me, and I don't expect to become a Rogue and build a blueside base......but I would like to be able to get the explore badges in SG mode and thus be able to have teleporters in my base that can take me to the blue zones.

Well, we were already informed that, even if someone can access both sides, they will only be able to access EITHER Wentworth's OR the Black Market. PvP zones could work the same way.

They might be able to flag you depending on where you enter the PvP zone at.

ie
If you access RV via Atlas you get flagged as a hero.
If you access RV via GV you get flagged as a villain

Let me throw this into the mix...will there be any new accolades that one can get on the Praetorian side?

Unknown but I would presume so. At the very least I'm expecting map, plaque and defeat badges.

Not sure if it would end up as an accolade, but there could be the Fallen Hero, Reformed Villain, and Can't make up their mind badge. As well as the loyalist badges. Everyone might get the loyalist badges at the start, but doing missions that cause you to change loyalty would make you lose your loyalist badges for the Fallen Hero or Reformed Villain badges. Change sides enough times would give the Can't make up their mind badge.

Would be interesting to see if I could get Blackguard and Justiciar on the same character.

The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

I'll be going for redside badges first, assuming I can.

I'm still hoping that we can get the accolade badges, I can accept not getting the accolade power itself.

I think the ones that require teams. like TF's, I'll go for first as the servers I frequent tend to be low pop and I think there will be a lot of people scrambling for the badges initially. The rest I'll get them as I can.

I kind of wonder with the way rogues are 'villain lite' and vigilantes 'hero lite,' will rogues/vigilantes require teams to get on badge missions from the other side? In other words, though you are allowed in opposite faction territory, are you still capable of accessing contact or not? This could be an issue for some trying to retain neutrality...will they have to 'piggyback' on 'opposing' faction players to get badges?

If such is the case, getting neutral-zone badges may prove simpler.
