Return of the Apes

Return of the Apes, also known as "The Apening", "Invasion of the Spazzes" and "An Occurence at Gorilla Creek Bridge" was a key event at the end of BFA leading up to the Shadowlands pre-patch. Background

BFA became the expansion known as "The Cleansing" and had proven successful in driving away most members of Apez. Systems like essences and corruption were successful in driving this filth away from retail and Classic had also worked as bait to attract most of the members of this community. Retail looked promising again with most of the apes gone and it looked like it might flourish going into Shadowlands. The desolate fields were again blooming and showing signs of life - just like Desolace.

Return of the Apes

But the return of the apes was discovered one rainy October night by legendary chimpanzee killer Phazed who was hunting a pack of lowland silverbacks in Stranglethorn Vale at 4:06 in the morning when he saw a mysterious cloaked figure appear online. Phazed could feel the dark forces in the air and he used his negus-chasing instinct to detect the identity of this figure, no other than Apez-leader Zoli himself. Phazed quickly rushed to lit the beacons of Gondor to signal for support from Rohan and within the next few hours the message had gotten out. However within the next day he spotted more Apez-members appearing online such as Aroeny and Insvein.

Possible War

With Apez back it's important for our heroes to group up so that they can fight evil once more. There might also be a connection with Shadowlands and going into the afterlife to face our inner demons and the resurgence of our worst enemies.
