Yep, tested it, and it seems Rogues are Villains and Vigilantes are heros for the purposes of the event.
I really should do something about this signature.
Which is exactly what one should expect, since every other part of the game treats them as such.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

I think it should be fairly expected that for these kinds of things Vigilantes are Heroes and Rogues are Villains. Contacts, PvP zones, supergroups, bases, and Ouroboros see it this way, so why not now?|

Loyalists and Resistance are a different matter, however. While some people are aware that for these things Loyalists are treated as villains and resistance as heroes, they don't have it waved in their face in the above-mentioned cases, so it could be made more clear in-game.

And on that note, you're right that they should probably mention something about loyalist and resistance in the Spring Fling infomation page as well.

According to the updated mission briefings:
Villains: True villains, Rogues and Loyalists
Heroes: True heroes, Vigilantes and Resistance members
to 
TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!
Resistance members are technically villains in Preatoria. They are considered traitors, now if they overthrow Cole, then they are revolutionaries and could be considered heroes.
So Praetoria technically the Loyalist are the heroes. Unless the Reistance wins, then they become villains.
Preatoria is bad example of trying to draw a line between Good and Evil, hince the term "Shades of Gray"
But it is all prespective.

Yes, but I hardly expect the devs to come up with the time to change around this long standing event (that they haven't changed since it's been first implemented, unlike the winter and Halloween events) when they have so much already on their plate.|

And if they had, they certainly would have mentioned it in their announcement of the event. So, far all intents and purposes, your Rogue is still nothing but a villain, and your vigilante is still a hero.
I am somewhat curious as to whether Praetorians under level 20 can pick these missions up, though. If nothing else, it would let us know how the devs see the alignment of the loyalists and resistance players. Then again, I suppose the badges make that answer clear enough.

I didn't expect them to change the mish. I expected them to at least change the event description, a mere pile of text on html. And they did change the page, at least to reflect the dates for this year, but they didn't change the description.

Ok, someone forgot to update Spring Fling, so here's a bunch of questions I would like answered:
This villain story arc will have players fighting Arachnos to find and bring back tainted water from the Well of the Furies. The catch is that to complete these missions, teams must have someone with a "pure heart" on them and thus need a hero character with them.
This hero story arc will have players retrieving an ancient artifact, Aphrodite's girdle for Eros. The girdle's location requires someone with a "twisted soul" to find it, so teams will need a villain character to complete these missions.
2) What are the effects when a villain uses this power on a vigilante? Or a rogue?
3) What are the effects when a vigilante uses this power on a hero? Or a rogue? Or a villain?
