Rikti World Invasion
Overview
The Rikti World Invasion will be a global (all servers) event to coincide with the release of Issue 10. It marks the return of the Rikti to Earth, threatening all humanity
Background
Defeated by the heroic efforts of Alpha Team and the ultimate sacrifice of Omega Team during the first Rikti War that started on May 23rd, 2002, the alien invaders are back. White Plains, known since that fateful time as the Rikti Crash Site has seen the active return of the Rikti from their mothership, turning the defensive stalemate in to the broiling battleground dubbed The Rikti War Zone.
Worse still, Rikti Destroyers are seen flying over every zone in both Paragon City and The Rogue Isles, dropping deadly ordinance while the residents cower as alien portals open up all over the zones, dispensing armoured Rikti on to the unsuspecting streets...
Zone Events
The World Invasion event, discussed by Matt "Positron" Miller, saying "it will go on for at least two weeks, and we may extend that time depending on how players react." Link to interview
All zones will be affected by the following:
- An Admin message will appear in the main chat window, in bright red, warning of a zone that is to be immenently targetted by the Rikti. This warning (citation - message needed?) warns non-combatants (Heroes and Villains not wishing to take part) to take cover
- A short period later (citation - time?) Rikti Destroyers will streak across the skies of the zone, dropping UXBs - UneXploded Bombs - that the local Heroes/Villains will need to eliminate.
- At the same time, Rikti Portals will open up randomly across the targetted zone, spawning mobs of appropriately-levelled Rikti in to the streets.
- Eventually the Rikti will be defeated (citation for "victory" conditions?) or will simply retreat after a certain time (citation - time?) and the zone will return to normal.
