Rikti Monkeys Cause Winter Chaos

The Rikti Monkeys, known scourges to the various City of Heroes universes, have decided to give a seasonal BAH HUMBUG by causing still more chaos to the universes designated "Justice", "Guardian", and "Virtue".

Although the all-mighty Developers have said they have fixed it, the Rikti troublemakers will no doubt try again. Simply because... they can.

"HA-HA! We have struck again!" "So what do we do now?" "Hey, how about some holiday Rikti songs?" "I wanna do the BOOM-DE-YADA song!" "Dude, Boom De Yada is not a holiday Rikti song." "Yeah, but we were in the video!" "No we weren't! Those were those normal monkeys. We're ENHANCED!" "Yeah! We smell worse!" "Dude, don't go there again..." "Too late, dude!" "Hey, you know something? It just occurred to me... Rikti don't celebrate the Holidays!" "That's right! We don't!" "What? You mean we don't get Santa or the presents or... anything?" "No, dude, we just get your stinky Rikti chili farts!" "Dude, I told you don't go there again." "That's not fair! We want a Holiday too!" "Yeah, this must be a Nemesis Plot!" "Dude, everything is a Nemesis Plot." "Hey, can we make 'Boom De Yada' our Holiday song since we don't have one?" "Boom de Yada, Boom de Yada..." "That's it, I'm getting some more Rikti chili!" *PPPPPPTTTTHHH* "Dude, that one's gonna leave a trail..."

Rikti Monkeys Strike AGAIN!

What the code gods giveth, the code gods have had to take away...

It seems the patch that gave us the WALK power has been causing more instability with the system, therefore the game has been rolled back YET AGAIN to the previous build.

In addition, because of the instability of the servers, especially those on the West Coast, the Halloween Event has been extended ONE MORE DAY.

Daylight will return to Paragon City and the Rogue Isles after Wednesday, November 11th 11:59 PM Pacific Time (2:59 AM Eastern Time on Novbember 12th).

Sorry guys, you should blame the Rikti Monkeys for this. They're really more dangerous than you know.

Update 11/12/09: Well I'm proud to inform you that the sun has returned to Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, and people can once again WALK.

So get back out there and start STRUTTING!

Halloween Event Extended

Something strange has happened to the Deadly Apocalypse that has been having some serious consequences to life in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. As a result the Halloween Event has been extended an extra week.

Blame it on the Rikti Monkeys, folks.

Instability Ahead! BLAME THE MONKEYS! (Updated)

(Update listed below)

Heads up heroes and villains!

There were some serious issues with two of the servers during this past weekend's Double XP activity. We're talking two universes in the Paraverse that are normally NOT heavily occupied.

So first the great gods of Paragon Studios cranked out a new patch that was so urgent they even shut down half the whole Paraverse EARLY.

Now they're making the unprecedented step of ROLLING IT BACK!

Why? Because the patches created new fatal flaws that are crashing the Paraverse.

Blame the Rikti Monkeys, folks. That's what the fatal error messages say. Seriously. It can't find Rikti Monkeys, so it's crashing everything.

"It's working! They will finally do our bidding! Bwahahahahahahaha!!" "Dude, you need a shower." "Shut up! That's the sweet smell of VICTORY you're getting a whiff of!" "Smells more like Rikti Chili." "Aren't we supposed to be ADVANCED?" "The only thing that is advanced about him is his STENCH!" "SHUT UP!"

Stay tuned for updates.
