Woo-hoo!
Er, I mean, I hope no innocent citizens are hurt by the invaders. I must rush home and defend them.
Yes, that's what I really meant.

OH! And another querY:
Is theis event a badge-award event, and if so, how much do I need to do with each of my toons to earn a badge?
If it isn't nevermind...
Arcanum hears the call....and we shall answer! To honor, to glory, TO WAR!
speechless
i want to go home and play, but sooooo busy at work
Hmmm, maybe if I finish all my work for today I can leave early....
Time to activate Hasten and get jiggy with it! 
That's it, I told my boss I'm not feeling well, I have to finish up a couple of quick things, then I'm out the door.
Heading home, put on my tights and defend Paragon City.
I might develop a sudden illness, it's lunch time. Maybe I'll get food poisoning. 
Scouting heroes take heed! I was able to teleport one of the fallen eyeball aliens to the Halloworkshop for a quick lab analysis. These ocular invaders have a visual range covering the entire X-axis electromagnetic spectrum and diverging well into the Y-axis spectrum! In other words, they can see through invisibility, so be careful.
Now, get out there and feed these so-called Rularuu a sack full of fist candy! 
Damn! I just got my costume back from the cleaners too. Grrrr....
Even if I could escape my arch nemesis, Boss-Person, I'd still need to get a ride home! I ride share to work and I live to far from BART 
It is the jewish new year after all........
thank goodness for the forgotten doctor's appointment..now i can leave early

Office Workers: White Collar Heroes, to the challenge!

Unknown Hero (looking at last guy sitting in Office): Well? Don't you play CoH?

Thanks for the chuckle while I sit here at work waiting to get back home. I still have 3 more hours here, then another two hours of class before I'm able to kick some inter-dimensional tail.
Unknown_hero - That is freaking hilarious.

I am checking the energy readings... I've got interdimensional energy spikes all across the board, and although it looks like it is levelling off, I don't see them falling anytime soon. If anything they are growing in magnitude.

Out of character, and in all seriousness, does this mean that those of us who are trapped at work will still be able to join in the fun when we get home from the daily grind? Will this invasion continue well into the evening?
And, more importantly, might I suggest that next time you launch an invasion closer to the end of the work day so that more paying customers can enjoy the entire invasion rather than just the tail end (assuming the invasion is just a day-long event).

Good idea. So that way the bugs can sit there over night, screwing up everyones games, while the devs go home and sleep and eat and stuff.
I am GLAD they released it early into THEIR WORK DAY. That way they can squash any bugs before I play it tonight.

from positron's announcement..looks like this may take a while
I cant freakin wait too get home and get a peice of this action! If only I could leave, its gonna be hard sneaking out on time as it is myuch less getting out early 
10 hours til i get home 
On a side note,maybe they started it now while server load is light so they can fix any glitches before we who work for a living get home?

This sucks! This better be going all night.
totally agreed with ya there. If dev want to make this fun, they should start the invasion at 6pm Eastern time...
We can only dream about what is happening... craps.

...levelling off but growing in magnitude? How is that physically possible? *cough* Then again, Pos is the genius scientist in the techie armor, I shouldn't argue with a PHD...
Excellent! Once the wage slaves get off work, we'll be there to protect Paragon. DFB will hit Talos, since most of our folks are ranked for security clearances in the twenties, maybe sidekick a few to our thirties for Brickstown work... good to know everybody can be useful, not just the uppers.
