Nice, I need the invasion accolades on 4 characters so this is just in time.
The return of Omega Team?

But this is "VERY soon" - that's totally not the same at all

I think some of us are getting to that ticked off point I mentioned earlier. It would take a very serious invasion to excite me, at this point I just dodge them, and have for years.
News excites me, because I love the potential this game has. I really love this game. Having my strings pulled just makes me bitter though.

Virtue, I can probably arrange something, too. Not sure how much.
From the information at hand my speculation is on this being a 'regular' Rikti Invasion Week, kicked off with some Dev-run Rikti (ala Niv'i'ene etc) rallying the Rikti forces to give it some extra punch.
Any more than that I think will be asking a bit much, although we've all been recently suprised by the amount of Ponies they've snuck into our rooms like Power Customisation and the Walk emote. Is there a long-held, constantly asked for, thing regarding the Rikti that the playerbase wants? Why yes, the return of the Motherships! So, if I were to stretch things, and set myself up for potential disappointment I'd go with:
* Most likely: Regular Rikti Invasion with some Dev/Mod-led Rikti NPC's.
* The Surprise version: Regular Rikti Invasion, return of the Motherships, and some Dev/Mod-led Rikti NPC's.

The problem with them doing a dev-lead event today or tomorrow is that they will hear untold amounts of complaints for not giving us a real heads up to players to plan for such a thing. I think Thursday is the traditional CoH announcement day though (amirite?). Totally going with the i17 announcement theory.

Which either of those would be 'great' but...still I'd probably just avoid them...why do them, there's no reward for them (if you're not looking for xp/influence). I was there for the coh end of beta so the mothership wouldn't be 'new' to me (unless it was a new(er) model)...sure I might join in if my sgmates/friends are doing it but *shrugs*
Although if there are motherships this time, I'll at least have a toon that is higher than lvl 8 :P At the end of the coh beta my highest char. was a lvl 8 ice tanker...yeah...he died a lot :P

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Even so, if something's meant to be happening just on Virtue, it's NOT a regular Rikti invasion.

STUFF IS HAPPENING ON VIRTUE
Skies are freaky
Zombie Man: It's a freaking Mothership Raid everywhere, all the time
Getting reports of Master at Arms spawning
Maybe this is like the "5th Column Invasion" ...?
Probably we'll see two factions of Rikti fighting it out in Founders. Exciting!!!
