The Praetorians are coming!
They took down the thread since there was so much rage about the special badge being awarded for it.

If that is the case, then I think the rage is justifiable. To do something like that would be pretty messed up.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Marriages?
If you want me to care about another laggy and bland event that makes me avoid certain zones ala Rikti/Zombies/GMspawning, you should at least set it to catchy lyrics like this: The Praetorians are coming!
Looks like the thread's back or has been restarted & has an explanation for why they're doing what they're doing with that:
Explanation post
Someone posted in the discussion that followed this post, that if you want the badge & think you're going to be unavailable during that timeframe, you could just log in, enter a mission, and make sure your computer doesn't go into a power saving shutdown. Doesn't help those that would rather be playing or who don't want to leave their computer on for an extended period of time, or who have lousy internet service which may not keep them connected that long, but it is a suggestion that also helps serve the purpose of that particular server event if such things are of interest to you. Also, you'd possibly help others get the badge if you help meet the stated concurrent players goal.
Further confirmation of an imminent Praetorian invasion has been secured from our team of scientists and mages lead by Dr. Keyes.
Heroes of Paragon City, Villains of the Rogue Isles, it is time to set aside your differences and unite against a perilous threat for the common good of humanity. We can't stress enough that, should Emperor Cole and his troops succeed in subjugating our planet and its inhabitants, the foundations of our society and liberty will not only be at stake, they are likely to collapse and plunge us into an era of darkness and fear.

Be watching for announcements in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles at the following dates and times and be aware that we will be at our weakest on May 27th so make sure you read the entirety of this mobilization notice!
