The event went really well for me. At first, I was concerned about the lag while in Atlas and then got frustrated when I couldn't get into PI with the rest of my league (suffered a few disconnects). It looked like it was going to be like any other event of this time- a slideshow with some memorable chat moments but not a lot of real action being done by the individual player.
However
When things were announced to start happening in Steel, I immediately hopped over, figuring it had to be better than Atlas lag and once I had gotten settled in, it was really nice. Lag was minimal, if any at all. I could move, I could fire off attacks without delays or false recharge times. I was able to actually play there amidst a good couple dozen other players all doing whatever they pleased. We had a good time thanks to Beastyle (kudos!) who was great at playing along with us and though our only real major Praetor cameo was Marauder, it was entertainingly done and a nice fight all in all.
I don't know what exactly made doing this in Steel so much more effective than Atlas, but it was very enjoyable and I'm glad I stuck it out. Thanks to all of the RedNames who took control during the event and made it happen. It was a good time- I'll be sure to visit my alts on other servers for the rest of this month (including the final go on Freedom).

Oh- also, very much appreciated the shard drops that were happening during everything. Was hoping for them, but not certain it would happen. Thanks for having those!

I had much fun during the invasion and thanks to all the people from Paragon Studios who made it possible. Special thanks to Freitag, who was whistling in St. Martial where I spent most of my playtime.
I got to peek into Pocket D near the end, just a few minutes before Zwill and Beastyle left.

What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
Unfortunately I did not enjoy the invasion as much. From the very start it was a complete slideshow. The concept, and the bantering from MM and others was different and fun, but the actual play - not so much. Finally our little group left and did lowbie stuff. Glad to hear those that stuck around had a good time.

I was in Steel for a while, trying to take down the Gnaw-proof lvl 20 War Walkers. Had to leave to attend my sister's MPA graduation. Didn't get a spiffy gold title.

It was a blast. Zwill's banter as the various villains totally made the event.
Well, that, and the dancing white war walker.
