POCHVEN – In what local residents are calling “the worst housing development since the Kybernauts,” the Blood Raiders have begun moving into Pochven en masse as part of Fenris Creations’ annual Crimson Harvest event. The invaders, sources confirm, are not paying rent, have refused to submit HOA applications, and have already been cited for noise violations related to “ritual chanting at odd hours.”
“They just showed up,” said a Triglavian Clade observer, reached via comms from the Abyss. “One day it was quiet, ominous, and oppressive – the next day there’s a Blood Raider battlecruiser parked in what I can only describe as a fire lane. They left a blueprint copy on my doorstep. I did not ask for this.”
The Blood Raiders, for their part, appear enthusiastic about their new neighborhood. Event literature promises “90% PvP loot drops” and “timed solo challenges,” which local Pochven residents have pointed out is just a polite way of saying “we are going to shoot you and take your things.”
Fenris Creations, when asked for comment, directed inquiries to the Crimson Harvest FAQ page, which states that the event is “open to all capsuleers” and that “Triglavian participation is encouraged but not required.” This has done little to calm tensions among existing Pochven inhabitants, many of whom have spent years cultivating a very specific aesthetic of quiet menace that the Blood Raiders are now undermining with their “aggressive rebranding.”
“I had to explain to my sub-clade what a ‘Hollow Clone’ was,” said the observer. “They thought it was a housing unit. It is not a housing unit. These people are not good neighbors.”
At press time, Fenris confirmed that the Crimson Harvest will run through November 3, giving Pochven residents approximately four weeks to either adapt to their new neighbors or file a formal complaint with the studio’s community team, which sources say is currently backlogged with Ansiblex-related grievances.
