According to recent intelligence reports, the united efforts of Heroes and Villains against the Rikti have proven successful. The invading troops have fallen back to regroup and, it is assumed, reorganise their war efforts.

Vanguard representatives state that although the Rikti have stopped their initial efforts to invade the Rogue Isles and Paragon City (along with their attempts to take over other major cities) the danger has not been averted.

“The Rikti may have decided to regroup, but they can attack again any time soon. We still have to be on guard!” says Incandescent, Vanguard’s Head of Communication.

Effective on Tuesday, 07 August 2007, 6pm BST / 19:00 CEST we are turning off the Rikti Invasion World Event. It can still be triggered in a single, random zone through player actions, however. In addition, we are planning on bringing the full-scale Invasion event back on random days throughout August and September, and possibly beyond. Stay alert…
