((Bear in mind that the GMs running this event are also at work now. It kinda makes sense to kick it off while they're getting paid for it 
))
Hold steady, fellow heroes! Meteorite Man is burnin' through the sky to get to you!
Where is Spiderman? Shouldn'y he be out there taking pictures of everything...
Send us screenshot, jpg, pictures ! ! !
The cursed Rikti education boss has me trapped in my job! I'm coming as soon as possible to defend Founders Falls. Hold the line, my European comrades!
Gaston
Magic Tanker, Freedom
Son of a... curse the evil Test-dealer! Curse him! He's leaving me stuck in the dungeon of his island base, nicknamed "College of the Will Breaking."
*sharpens katana while looking at the clock* I'm gonna go poke me a few eyeballs when I get home to deal with this frustration. Better call the friends in too on Pinnacle, I forsee a lack of sleep and an excess of caffine to full our heroic might.
*continues studying with a newfound fury to allow victory over the purple conned test*
Toggle on your Stealth or Cloaking device and turn on Super Speed.... out the door and back before the Boss notice... Lunch time coming up.. u got 1 hr.

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).

It makes perfect sense to launch it during the day while most people are at school or work. Primarily: They don't know exactly how the server is going to react when it suddenly gets slammed by a billion people logging it at 5:15. Solution: Lauch it during the day when it's a little quieter. See how the server handles it. If necessary, drop the server when not so many people are going to whine. If the server can handle the small load just fine, chances are at least a little better that it's going to handle the 5:15 rush without crashing.
This paying customer would much rather it worked smoothly during the few hours I have to play this evening.
ok initial shock is over. ** Deep Breath ** back to work its just a game.
haha i pooped on the party
I was home sick from work monday and tuesday, and NOW you want to launch an invasion.....I'm really beginning to wonder about your timimg...didn't you know I'd be home earlier in the week...c'mon people, get with my ticket....
Now, I'm gonna have to find SOME way of getting the freak outta here so I can....oh wait...*gasp* it's CSI night, not to mention maybe a FOOTBALL GAME....you gotta be kiddin me....
Oh woe is me......
dee
The Witch's Hammer will be there. We will answer the call.
(just as soon as i am done teaching. Stupid children and their needs 
)
TeamSG1b...you a Westie? if so why aren't you on Freedom server with the rest of the collective? most of the West(ie) players I know are on there...get yourself over there and migrate your friends if they play too..
NNOOOOO!!
It can't be! I can't take another three hours!!!
Mabey if i continue to think about this it will give me a headache probobly give myself an ulser
(Two Superheroes overlooking Invasion)
Superhero #1: WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!
Superhero #2: Would you shut up? These disgusting eyeballs don't stand a chance against the Super Powers of the "L33T Super Group"!
Superhero #1: That's the problem; the other Heroes in our group are stuck at work!
Superhero #2: WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!

I feel the presence of many enemies, more than I can count.
Heros prepare yourselves! Rest and hold your defenses we may need to reserve our energies and rotate patrols on this one. No one knows the extent of the enemy's resources, it could be a siege!
Sounds like the first Rikti invasion. Could that mean someone will have to do as Hero 1 did and venture to their homeworld to cut off the portal connections?
I find it kind of amusing that people are complaining about the invasions choosen time and how inconvienient it is for our enemy to have attacked us when the city was at its weakiest (IE everyone at work).
Now I know when CoV comes out that I should check with everyone in CoH as to when it's convient for them to launch my evil plot to kill them and take over the world 
Hold the lines my European and 'sick' comrades at arms! One of my 23 Alt's will be out there as soon as possible to help.
Verena: The Invasion!
L337: yea, i know, theres gonna be an invasion. invasion this invasion that. I get the picture.
Verena:No, I mean the invasion has begun!
L337 falls out the window

7:03 PM PST would probably work best for most. And no bringing along any henchmen! It wouldn't do to do something that might be considered not fair!

On the one hand, you're right. On the other hand, we are paying customers who feel we are missing out on something really cool. I have mixed feelings. But I have to work. No work, no money - no money, no CoH.

Thank you for that in-character response.
Now, if you could do something about that damn clock on my wall that doesn't seem to want to move faster, I'd be enormously in your debt...
Mind you, we all know debt is virtually meaningless in this game so take that as you will...

Back after two years of WoW!
Shut's office door, ripps clothes off to reveal spandex superhero outfit, TPs boss to home, Jumps out window, forgets I dont have fly, bounces off the pavement running toward Atlas Park, forgets to turn cell phone off so boss calls while in transit to Paragon City saying something about a broken Exchange server...bah foiled again.
You aren't missing much. There's no hint of a GM-led invasion yet. It probably won't be on until later. There should be time for you to come home and join in.
