Utterly fantastic night, cheers guys. Watching CCP Unifex smiling with a Guiness in each hand while his ear got bent about POS's yet again and the openess of all the other staff / devs was awesome.
To all the guys I chatted to outside while grabbing a breath of fresh air, muchos gracias ^_^
oh, and side note to CCP Staff / devs, next time, I will be bringing a box of 200 smokes after the amount that got "borrowed"
Same time next month eh CCP? *lol*, no seriously, make it a semi-regular thing
Cheers all, Blue (that idiot in the NFL Top) |

Looking forward to the next one |

I had a great time. What a great group of people. This is my 4th time in Newcastle and every time I come here I love it more and more.
Thanks for all the borrowed smokes
Shame about the weather but we had one very dedicated player come last night. That brings a new meaning to HTFU for sure. He came all the way from Hong Kong, took a taxi from London, had it wait outside, got all our autographs and bought one of the EVE banners for 120 pounds or so.
We will be looking into repeating this in the future. At least in one years time during GameHorizon 2013 but probably sooner.
Thank you all for a great evening.
Cheers, CCP Tyr |

Shame about the weather keeping some of you away, my heart goes out to those who didn't make it.
But also really good to hear that some did and that good times were had. As I saw in London recently the UK players sure know how to have a good time :)

Thanks ever so much CCP and players for a great night. Hope to do something like this again because as a new player it was really good to learn so much from some of the more experienced players that I was talking to. Especially the no so bitter vet who has 7 years under his belt. Everyone there was really great.
Was also rather good talking to a couple of the DUST 514 devs and they manage to answer all of my questions to a great level of knowledge and detail so thanks to those guys and girl for that. My soul purpose of buying a PS3 right now is for that game.
See you all next time, Ratchet (the long haired 19 year old with the blonde fringe) If you are in a Spaceship travelling at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen? |

Thanks to all the CCP staff involved in making last night possible. Despite all the chaos with severe weather across the north east, fun was definitely had by all. (Particularly SamuraJack.. who's somewhat paranoid after Unifex said he knew him after a lost bet regarding the BoB/ASCN war.
After the epic camp at the venue, some of us pilots of a more dubious nature (including one newbie) decided to go on a bit of a roam, but that was cut premature in the again because of SJ burning out all his midslots (Quite literally.. I don't know if he remembers being in Sinners)
I spent a lot of the night meeting new people, and advertising the ingame channel thats been set up (though I can't remember who created it) for all of the people in the north east to chill out, talk nonsense, and arrange eve-meets in the future (which, by the way.. we expect the team involved at the office in newcastle to be in attendance.. No excuses!) The channel's called "North East England Chillout"

Couldn't make it in in the end, got stuck trying to get in through Gateshead, then the buses stopped and the Metro was screwed. By the time I got home my shoes were full of water, my jacket was about twenty times heavier having soaked up about 8 litres (and no I'm not kidding) of water and I felt like ****. For some reason I thought it was being run over 2 nights, so I figured if I didn't get there last night I could have gone tonight instead. Fail reading comprehension ftl :( Was really hoping to get a nice Dust514 T-shirt as well. Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue. |

Many thanks for to the couple of lovely chaps who gave me a lift to and from, awell as putting up with my half drunken rabbling and demands for a toilet break on the way home. Apparently ford fiesta's make great boats as we braved the oceans on the A194 in order to get there, after some pretty dodgy directions from me after we found the A19 gridlocked.
A great night, and yes Tyr, I was there for that dedicated fan who promptly pulled out approximately 200 quid when told "well we could give you one but you'd have to pay for us to replace it"
I stand by my comment that you guys seriously need to fix the online store, or maybe I'm just being an idiot with it, who knows.
Many thanks to the devs for an outstanding evening filled with laughs, good times, and free drinks a-plenty.
Also met a group of nice pilots (including 2 PL, who knew PL could be nice?) and was fortunate enough to not bump into any bees, as I felt that podding them I.R.L would of been a service to the EvE community.
All in all, despite the biblical weather, a great night all around and looking forward to the next one. |

Will CCP put the pictures up that were taken? I'd very much like to get one printed out for myself as it was quite memorable event. If you are in a Spaceship travelling at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen? |

Im not sure many pictures were taken. I don't recall seeing many people taking pictures. I taken my camera with me, but like the idiot I am, I kind of accidently left it at my hotel and forgot to bring it with me. (Bit like those moments in a huge fleet fight where you go reship, and kind of forget to bring ammo with you) |

One of the Devs was walking around with his phone taking pictures of each group of people that were talking to each other. It's those pictures I would like to see. If you are in a Spaceship travelling at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen? |

Well I would like to say a big thanks to CCP for putting on this event on, it was good to meet the team and other players. Free beer is alway welcome shame about the deluge, I think we would have had a far bigger turn out if Newcastle had not been so flooded. |

Nottingham Uni guy was me - thanks to everyone who signed up for our study. I haven't actually made it home yet due to weather related travel problems, but as soon as i do, I'll be in touch with everyone on my list. Expect an evemail tomorrow evening.
Was a good night, and I had a lot of fun chatting with you all and hearing some fun stories from the annals of EVE history! |

Thanks to everyone who turned up and commiserations to those that the weather affected. Have to say I have never seen rain like that in the UK before.
It was a great night and I had a blast talking to everyone I could. I will certainly push for us doing another session to make up for the weather. Not sure when but having an office in Newcastle makes it all a little easier.

Thanks very much to those who made it, and also to those who tried to get through to and couldn't manage it due to the weather. Got caught in it myself and haven't seen a downpour like that in a long time.
Had a great time meeting you all and hope to see you all again.
Cheers,
