I was there... but the event was crap for the following reasons:
- The venue is too small - The venue layout was not appropriate - The audio system was total crap, I could not hear anything even standing very close to the speaker (person) - The presentation didn't have much to it for what I could hear
Players:
- I have now realised that most eve players are very nice people, however a number of people are as trolls in real life as they are in the game - Some of these trolls have very low IQ and don't give a s**t about people like me who are interested in listening to CCP, you just keep talking loud to disturb others
I was hoping to get a Dust key but didn't see any. I was there just for this.
So next time CCP, I suggest to organise the event a lot better than this. I think you expected 20 people instead you had 200 or maybe more.

Great event - possibly still going on.... We need more of these CCP.
P.S. - can you get a taller stage next time? Or at least a bar stool for the little guy?

Thanks very much for coming all, I had a brilliant time and enjoyed listening to some of the news that was announced.
The venue was brilliant and very accomodating GǪ I doubt they had too much time to prepare for hundreds of eveonline players to descend on them with very little warning.
PS
My apologies to CCP Soundwave, the Tia Maria and Guiness was not my idea. |

Great event, many thanks to Soundwave, Guard and Unifex for putting up with requests for photos, signatures and flying fistbumps! If anyone remembers the dude with the K162 / Aquila sign hit me up with a contact!
Nice to see so many players turn up, possibly could have had a slightly better sound system as it was quite hard to hear the Q&A session sometimes.
Overall, A++ would go again :-)
See you all down the rabbit hole! |

Venue size was about right for the volume of players, room was busy, but still possible to move around. Sound system was no use at all. I arrived part way through what I imagine was a Q&A session, but on moving round the room, there was nowhere where I could clearly hear what was being asked or answered. So if there ware any bombshells, can they be repeated here? I think this caused an increase in the overall noise levels as people were chatting amoung themselves away from the presesentation area. This was not a formal presentation, just a few devs standing on stage with a beer and a microphone.
Got to chat to CCP Guard and CCP Soundwave for a few mins, did not get to speak to CCP Unifex but could see him in the distance being mobbed .
Was presented with a free drink voucher from the organiser (thanks!).
Piicked up a leaflet that was lying on a table for eve-online-london
Chatted to several players, everyone friendly as usual.
Waiting for the next one |

Nice idea, but why choose a friday??
It meant many of us other Brits had no chance attending
Next time, choose a weekend, and a better venue!!! (GRRR) |

PS Plymouth is closest decent size city to me. I speak only for myself and my corp. My views are not representative of my alliance. |

Just got back from the karaoke bar we ended up at in Farringdon.
Overall a great night, had a good chat with CCP Unifex, CCP Soundwave and CCP Guard as well as Zapatero from EON.
Yes the Q and A was a bit of a damp squib but that was mostly the sound systems problem and general noise from players but hey ho.
We are looking to make the London meet a monthly thing so I was told so look forward to the next one!

Thanks to the devs for organising things, and don't lose that piece of paper CCP Soundwave!
It was great to meet up again with some old faces and meet some new ones for the first time.
All in all, a good night. Would go again. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

Was a fun event, sound quality on that PA was god damn aweful though, which meant as people couldn't hear it they gave up and just started chatting which made it worse.
Was hiliarious watching the devs get mobbed, by about 1030 soundwave looked well harassed at the bar.
Was nice to meet so many people, if anyone from the little WH crew we got together is here shout us up in game! Two guys from 'lonestars'? or something that ended up running around looking for their CEO were a good laugh especially.
Definitely repeat. Although the hangover today is pretty painful.. |

It's always hard to get it right the first time, I recognise that. My assessment is objective and not a trolling as you say. What I am saying to CCP is next time plan better. At least half of the people had to stand not having where to sit.
I look forward to the next event and hopefully it will be better delivered. Also I look forward to more content being provided and better organisation of Q&A where there is a corner dedicated to asking questions.
Think about those standing, a higher stage would be appropriate. Next time bring EVE T-shirts and other EVE stuff that people can buy.

Would someone from CCP kindly not give the above person a key since they seemed to have missed the point of the event.
In other news, had a great time... Seems I ended up as king of tequila and champagne with the amount I was buying for everyone! Thankfully I missed the hangover. |

The event was awesome fun.
I went expecting some interesting info accompanied by some awkward chat for an hour with some neckbeards.
Instead I got a 8 hour drinking marathon with some really cool people culminating in singing an incredibly bad rendition of "High Sec Girl" (uptown girl) to get the Kareoke kicked off.
It also turns out Soundwave was once an ingame nemesis of mine! Luckily he (and Unifex and Guard) were all p. chill and, admittedly, much better than me at kareoke.
All in all if this is what an Eve Meet involves I will be returning regularly.
Big shout out to Becca for herding us cats across London. |

I got a beta key, photos with all the devs, a drink from CCP Soundwave and signed boobs. And met a couple of my awesome corpmates! I also ended up with my legs around CCP Guard's shoulders...
Yeah, I don't remember a great deal other than that
What I DO remember is that it was an amazing night and needs to happen again. Stat. |
