The event has an official time now...

http://www.rgtr.com/news/latest_news/red_alert.html

Sunday November 2nd is when we fight to retain what we have tried so hard to build over the past year. 7PM old Central Time is when we expect the Bane to initiate the assault on strategic zones that are yet to be revealed.

I missed the first 15 minutes of it because cable modem went out. When I got in finally I found bane were invading in 3-4 areas depending on level. My max character is 39 and so I was with the 30s crowd.

Wave after wave after wave of bane would spawn. I died several times, was some lag, but not much.

At the end players who stuck around got random goodies from the devs ranging from fireworks or paint. Might have been other goodies, but all I heard about in general chat. I got white paint. Another line formed and everyone in that line got special barets.

Not as MAJOR as I expected or hyped up to be, but still fun.

Screenshots from Zhanzen for the curious...

Maybe the Bane overhyped the rumor just to test AFS readiness for a future assault that they will not leak ahead of time.

MMOs require more reasoning and imagination than most stereotypically ''adult'' activities.

"I joined all 3 lines. (yeh, I spent more time in the queues than in the fight... lol)"

I think this comment from a poster at Sevenwind's link above says a lot about the event.  An event I'm glad I missed.
