Regnum more fun after Invasions?

[Flightcap]

Well, here we are, almost a month since invasions have been implemented. Since then, every realm (Horus) has been invaded, people have gone to the golden dragon, the depth of the game has exploded with lots of potential for more content, and everyone hates each other just a bit more than before.

On the other hand....

People have logged off after successfully defending a realm for hours until long after bedtime, only to find in the morning that the enemy invaded while everyone was asleep. Time zones rather than skills and numbers have decided battles. Whole realms have been pulled away from grinding, hunting, etc. to defend a castle, which consists of chatting for 30 minutes and fighting for 5, several times a night. Gate wars have lasted half a day, and if there are any reasonable amount of defenders it still has the same inevitable result - the attackers get smashed.

So, my fellow Regnum players, what is your opinion? Are you having more fun in the game after invasions than you did before? Do you enjoy invasion wars and gate battles more than you enjoyed mass hunting? Do you still feel like the game is a stress reliever or do you get frustrated and worried over the results of a failed war? In short, do you enjoy playing Regnum more now than before invasions?

This thread is open for your comments, it's all on you.
