There currently appears to be some confusion over some aspects of the servers PvP and general etiquette policies regarding attacks on faction HQs.
Let's get this cleared away now.
The Black Hand Citidel and Veritas Bunker are considered Highly Populated areas for the purposes of server rules - ANY attempt to penetrate these areas MUST take place with DM supervision.
The fact that you can do so without DM supervision shouldn't factor into it. The players of the Black Hand and Veritas factions could very easily slaughter every NPC in the cities and good temples if they were so inclined, it's a testament to the general attitude of the players that it hasn't been done more often.
It's very depressing therefore to see that some players have taken to storming hostile factions HQs and boast openly about how little resistance they encountered.
The game engine and general mapping restrictions mean that it is pretty much impossible for us to represent certain aspects of the game world as they should be without bringing peoples computers to their knees. This is doubly true for city and HQ areas. Please treat ANY HQ area as you would the temples or highly populated areas - Remember the bigger picture, the world setting, the fact we can't keep a continual representation of everything running at every moment and don't raid them without a DM overseeing it!
To clarify for anyone hard of thinking:
Capisce?

DO NOT ATTACK FACTION HQs WITHOUT A DM ON THE DM CLIENT OVERSEEING THINGS.
IF YOU ATTACK WITHOUT A DM YOU WILL BE PUNISHED HEAVILY.
