Why, when I was but a young'n', we'd have Rikti Invasion weekends every few months!
Thems have stopped now. Think we c'n ever take the fight back to them?

In honor of the tenth anniversary of the Rikti invasion, we should invite all the Rikti to a memorial service in Atlas Park, where we will all gather around and have a moment of silence, and then proceed to kill them all until the bodies pile higher than the Atlas Globe.

Increasing taunt +1000% would only affect the strength of powers with the taunt effect. Things that don't have taunt would not be affected. Even things that do have taunt would not have the range of those effects affected nor would they have increased aggro limits. There's probably some tankers, brutes, and scrappers that would welcome the effect.|

What you were probably thinking was something that granted a zone wide taunt aura to the player. That would cause the player to attract the attention of everything in the zone, closest things first, seventeen at a time.
Which would be a farming bonanza the likes of which we haven't seen since Rads stopped herding all of Perez Park to the gates with debuff toggles.
Logging in your Blaster would be suicide, but logging in a high level tanker with a damage aura would be an ATM machine. If anything, the problem would be getting enough things to aggro you, with all the other farming tankers logged in simultaneously. That would be a strange, strange week before the devs reversed that one.

Maybe that'll be the day we find out that Zwillinger was trolling us when he asked us how much we'd pay for a new archetype, because that'll be the day that the Rikti Epic Archetype appears in the Paragon Market?

Well if they do make an event I hope it lasts a week or two because the weekend of May 28th is my hubby's 40th B-day.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
I still cry because I got denied permission by a management company to license a song for a Rikti War video. It was just so perfect, but they couldn't allow me to do it. ARGH.
May have to come up with something else, though.

10 years ago I was a junior in High School (and no major medical issues). How times have changed... 
Though I never knew of CoH until the day before it launched, thanks to IGN. Now I feel even more old.
This space is intentionally left blank.
Just a reminder for the players (and perhaps for the current Devs):
We're now just two months away from the tenth anniversary of the start of the Rikti invasion, a very significant event in the history of Paragon City and Primal Earth as a whole. If you intend to make any special observance of this date and/or Memorial Day (it's May 28 this year), now might be a good time to start making plans.
