Unless you're a member in good standing of the Thornlin Militia (iron-willed, in fact), in which case you're an enemy of Minas Tirith and can't approach the quests at all. Does that make any sense? Oh, it's your drow blood that is the problem! Even though you follow a drow goddess who is a champion of interracial harmony, and even though for ages you have been allowed to enter the city in good faith (and have never betrayed that trust!).

What's your align while trying to enter the city during war-time?

Biggest issue was probably killing a MT/Gondorian Guard/soldier within the past 6 months.

Some updates have been noticed with the MT guards is that they've been updated and untrusting of some new guilds out there.

During war, they are also quite suspicious to anyone not blessed or higher on the good-align scale.

My alignment was "good." I have been attacked within the past six months - they expanded the breadth of their racism a lot more recently than that. I can't guarantee I didn't kill one of them in an effort to save my own apparently undesirable skin. It was very chaotic and I am lucky to have escaped at all, so I'm not sure if the guards all remained unpunished.

So it's not 'impossible to do'

it's just your deeds and/or align

And guild affiliation. Is backdoor already implemented? ;)

I do not know at all that that is true. I was attacked apparently for being a drow, before. I was attacked again very recently. Is that because I in self-defense killed one of the racists before (which I'm not at all certain even happened), or because drow are still considered enemies even if they are members of the bloody Thornlin militia?

And in the past "good" has been above and beyond enough to get me into MT in the past. I don't know why you'd suggest it's alignment. That seems exceedingly unlikely.

for some it's good for 'untrusted' races it's higher (blessed/holy)

still doable in your case

and if you killed mob there you'll have to wait (in ME such things are 'remembered' for quite a while)

Maybe. "Color" me skeptical.
