    UPDATE: Issue has been resolved

    UPDATE: We resolved the previous issue, but unfortunately when towns are under siege you cannot access the Novia overworld from the town nor the siege encounter scene. Instead, exit the game to the Main Menu and select the 'Start on World Map' option if you wish to get back to the overworld.

    Other options also exit, such as using teleport scrolls to other players.

    If you attempt to enter a town under siege, you will be brought directly into the siege, NOT the town. Attempting to exit the siege will drop you back into Novia. Town access will not be possible until the siege has lifted, or you can get in using a scroll.

    This is a known R37 bug we are working to resolve immediately.

    It's the same problem - you are returned to whatever scene you entered the siege from. If you entered from Novia you return to Novia, if you entered from the town under siege you return to the town.

    Update to the issue posted in the original message. While we resolved part of the problem, unfortunately you are still not able to exit the scene properly when a siege is in progress.

    Instead, exit the game to the Main Menu and select the 'Start on World Map' option if you wish to get back to the overworld. Other options also exit, such as using teleport scrolls to other players.

    Berek:

    What I found out messing with sieges: You always start at what would be the entrance of the siege from the world map. What this means is if you are going into town and want to bypass the siege, you run through it. If you leave the town into a siege, you just turn around and jump over the tree to end up on the world map.

    Obviously this is still a bug, but once you know the trick, it's not unbearable.

    Hopefully this helps with diagnosis.
