Its popularity hasn't waned at all; there are still groups running it at all hours of the day. <br /><br />We were pretty impressed, too. So we've visited Cimerora, signed up for the Task Force, and documented the result. <br /><br />A word of warning first, though. This gallery is <strong>heavy on the spoilers</strong>. Most Task Forces don't contain twists or surprises: this one does. The Imperious TF contains one jaw-dropping reveal in particular, and we wouldn't want to spoil the surprise for anyone planning to run the Task Force themselves. If you're not planning to do so any time soon, or you aren't a <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/cox">CoX</a> </em>player, or you don't care about spoilers, then by all means continue!<br /><br />
