Blue Avatars!!!

They went that way, really fast. If something got in their way, they might have turned.

In all seriousness, though, our animated avatars should be returning shortly. I'm unable to say when, precisely, but they certainly haven't gone the way of the dodo. Just keep an eye out. :)

Will the MVP avatars be returning as well?

That's certainly the plan. :)

or in Zarhyms' case, two eyes out?

Undetermined. Floating skull physiology is still a bit of a mystery to me. He may or may not have to rely on a seeing-eye Bashiok.
