Don't worry, we still have untouchable citizens who can fall off buildings and live! So we're not that doomed... just the superpowered beings!

Unfortunately, I do not believe they will. Similarly, they won't be invading new Atlas Park either. Sorry!

Lesson: History.

Hubris: Often fatal.

Query: Rikti Invasion Coordinator Designation: Na'Polean Bon'Parte?

to TO THE END!
Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

You should swap the first and second lines position, so the lines keep getting shorter. Plus, it still makes sense.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

No problem - Sorina Tavarisch is quite willing to set an example for the more novice heroes over in Kings Row.

Good, I was worried I wouldn't be burned out on invasions before Captain Mako week started.

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

Wait. I thought the Ritki were defeated from the heroes and the civil war that began after the secret came out which made them get help from the Praetorians. Guess this is what you get when ya assume. So what is the story of them attacking this time? Or is this another lets throw another regiment of troops at the city for no reason at all?

Whenever they have political unrest on Rikti Earth, they invade Primal Earth out of habit.

As Homer Simpson said once (while grounding Bart, even though it wasn't his fault THIS time): "In times of trouble, you gotta go with what you know!"

It seems the Rikti are getting in the traditional forum pastime of "everyone's leaving the game!" threads!
