Depends how much money I will save up before then. Anyone from US, CA and that went to Fanfest before... How much does it generally cost and how much you think you'll spend on fanfest? Need a rough estimate, especially on the SPENDING part like booze and souviners.
We should be having package deals on the site later this year (flight, hotel, ticket) as we've done in the past, but I want to talk about spending USD in Iceland. I'm not sure where in the US you're located, but I living in NYC where the cost of living is a bit higher than most of the country. Food and drink there costs a bit more than they do in the US. A sandwich and soda from Nonni's can cost 10 or more dollars, depending upon what I get. But they have a lot of convenience stores there (called 10-11) which, I think, is much more affordable than eating out all the time.
Booze can be a bit pricey, too, but we will probably provide you with food/beer tickets for use at the venue (iirc... I mostly deal with Sisters of EVE/CSM/Fan sites at the Info Desk and not regular visitors). CCP Fallout Associate Community Manager EVE Online @ccp_fallout |

I'm debating it... I'd like to go to this kind of event. Even if I decided to shed my bitterness over the way things have gone with the development of EVE, I don't think I'd be able to refrain from bringing along some rotten cabbage for Hilmar's speech.
Just debating if EVE is worth dumping that much cash into any more, or if there are any other similar competing events that are worth the $. The quality of the winter expansion is CCP's chance to sell tickets (and to keep people from unsubbing altogether.) |

Are you sure you wouldn't spend it in the NeX store on a pair of bluejeans? I'd rather die in battle against a man who will lie to me, than for a man who will lie to me. |

So like since the legal drinking age is 18 in Sweden (where I live)... and I turn 20 one month after fanfest is done, maybe one of the devs can sneak me some sort of drinking pass from under the table if I polish his/her pod?
Pretty please? Because then I'd definately show up!
do want... =( |

not sure me and the missus will attend next years fanfest unless 2 conditions are met . 1 ccp devs attend ALL the round tables as they didnt last fanfest (not suggesting a ccp employee who works in hr should attend a faction warfare round table as this would be stupid )
2 I want a clear and transparent explanation as to how ccp are takeing the game forward . i dont want to come away from what is a very expensive weekend away for myself and my wife full of hope for the future of the game i love and for the most part is my main hobby . only to get home to find her himler is advocating us all spending xxxx thousands on japanese jeans and wotnot .
i think essentially all im asking for is a little bit of transparency . essentially for all eve players going to iceland it should be on 1 of your 10 lists of things to do before you die its such a fantastic place to visit .imo its prolly the nearest alien world one will ever visit without leaving the planet . and the fanfest is bloody good fun aswell .plus ....... theres loads of bloody icelandic hotties to oggle ... but dont tell my missus |

I for one also hope to be there. Just so I can annoy you in person and repay those drinks I owe you.
They also better have DUST 514 to play. Though as I type that, the beta "should" be out already. |

What the!? And here I was thinking...complaining...whining...thinking that the strike feature didn't work on the new forums! I guess the tags just got change. Niiiiice.
Oh yes, and FF2012 will rock, no doubt. I hope it is again broadcast live in HD! And that new venue is gorgeous...good move there CCP. "The world as we know it came about through an anomaly (anomou)" (The Gospel of Philip, 1-5)-á |

I'll be going again, so if any aussie devs want to make cigarette orders again, nows the time :P
edit: for those asking about pricing, I reckon I went the week on about $1300 or so, not including optional extras like tattoos :P
edit2: thats not including hotel and flights though, obv. Just living costs and spending money. |

I guess my only question is what would be the aurum price to put Hilmar up on a stool and throw custard pies at him. CCP could make a fortune. Monocle income would look like chump change.
We would even be happy if he wore cheap jeans for it.

I would travel to Iceland for this. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

With all the unsubbing that has allegedly taken place, the Fanfest should be an event of mass, real-life PvP.......
Wish I could attend but it's simply too expensive for me. South Africa is not known for (a) strong monetary unit and (b) cheap air flights. Fail on both counts
I hope to see pics posted during and after the event!!
Success to all, I certainly hope it goes well.
