Rust Storm Warning in Effect!
Friday, October 24, 2003
From the Cold Plains to the Highlands of Harrogath, Sanctuary shall soon be swept by a zephyr of cleansing magic -- the prophesied "Rust Storm."

For too long, legitimate players have suffered the injustice of illegitimate players who use tainted items from otherworldly dimensions. All that’s been taken for granted is about to change in the Realms of Battle! Those freed from the corrupting powers of the tainted items shall feel the sting of loss...for the Rust Storm knows no mercy, and no one is sheltered from its fury!

Fair warning to all!
