He was set to return in late April 2015. However, Vic returned on 13 April 2015 after discussion on the forums and social media requested for his return earlier than planned. His return was accompanied by the message: Vic the trader has arrived back in Burthorpe with a new stock of items! He remained in-game up until 5 May 2015. He returned again on 18 January 2016 until 1 February 2016, and again from 4 July 2016 to 18 July 2016. He again returned on 9 January 2017 at 00:00 UTC, bringing along with him any unspent credits leftover from his July visit.
