Originally by: KaarBaak I would really like to attend if it's going to be worthwhile, but for $1500, I can drink beer and watch cool videos at home with my friends.
It will never be the same as being at FF. And speaking from experience, it's worth every penny...
Regarding the card, I too fail at understanding the 2-for-1 thing. It doesn't say anything about it when ordering the card, so it would be nice with some clarification on that.

Originally by: KaarBaak This would be my first fanfest, but I'm unable to find any sort of schedule of events/seminars/roundtables.
From what I can gather, there is a pubcrawl on Thursday, a party on Saturday and a PvP party. From this thread I see that there will be video screens in the main hall displaying cool videos and there may be information on the future of EVE distributed.
Being a month out (and post-GDC), I would think there would at least be some kind of outline of a schedule with a 'subject to change' note.

There'll often be more than just 1 or 2 things going on at a time.
Wednesday night Thursday - pub crawl, preceeded ofc by collecting tickets and a few other things that happen that day.
Friday - Various events, round tables, presentations etc. Friday night - Partying around reyjkavic, and believe me those icalandics know how to party. Saturday - More events seminars talks, presentations, tourneys etcetcetc, plus the highglight - keynote stuff which was pretty damned awesome last year. Saturday night..... drinking, dancing, mantrains, the lovely stevie and mindstar were doing interviews and whatnot last year, afaik theyll be doing it again this year. all followed by a lot of partying downtown.
Therell be agent stuff going on, chances to win prizes, exclusive loots in the eve store, plus the chance to pin down a few devs and gms and get face to face chat on why stuff is the way it is, or just chat about the game!
Its also a chance to meet and greet various eve legends and mentalists - oveur, midnighter, verone, hilmar, the goons will no doubt be there in force, eve uni, the csm etc.
Its worth the trip youll absolutely make a few friends and have a blast.
Ryas nia for example arranged a trip in 3 days from the states, and given hes coming again this year im sure you can imagine he thinks its worth it!
Only thing is, dont expect to sleep well for the whole weekend, and probably not eat a good meal the whole time either, unlessn you have your own chef ( <3 Jinx )
TL:DR
DO IT, you wont regret it.

Ok. Did it. (But I still feel like I just sent 5B isk to EBANK ;)
BTW...having patience saved several hundred $$--purchasing via Icelandair direct and making hotel reservations direct vs the linked packages.
See you there.

After joking with my wife about going, she surprised me Monday with all the booking confirmations and tickets for both of us. This will be my first FF!
We're not flying in until early on the 1st, probably won't get to FF til that afternoon... what will I be missing?

First! (Fanfest that is)
I'm like a kid waiting for Santa.
Its a amazing that the Icelandic currency is actually isk! I presume the ATM's on the island will convert my ingame currency into the island money? How does that work, do I need a pin or will my login details work?
In this game, there is plenty of stupid to go around! |

My first FF too :)
I have been reliably informed that the ATM's back-end is linked to the in-game wallet. As such, I am not going to bother setting any real money aside as I am loaded in-game.

thursday is kickoff as far as collecting passess and stuff, so ideally be there wednesday night.
party will go on till sunday then moves on to town, dont get an early flight sunday morning, you WILL regret it. reccommend either late evening sunday or monday for flights home. buggered if I can remember the exact times we left fanfest but i know we stopped at the hotel on the way into town to drop people off for thier early flights. bad move.

This would require have some kind of schedule ahead of time.
I'm all set on the "awesome beer chugging" and "sooper kool pub krawl." How about a schedule of Eve events such as discussion panels, seminars, roundtables, etc?

all of that stuff will be on your fanfest guide.
thatll be in your bag of lootsÖ that youll get on arrival.
as it was last year there was something starting every hour from the thursday at 1230L through the day.
I wouldnt get too hung up on planning stuff you will no doubt find yourself doing something completely random!
essential advices:
1) pack your favourite hangover cure in bulk. 2) In Icelands women hunt you! be prepared. 3) Its easy to get sidetracked, take a backpack into the venue and never pass up the opportunity to stock up at the bar when you get a chance, same goes for getting a bite to eat. 4) dont eat the shark. 5) oveur wants beer. 6) I do not want beer... but ill take a johnnie walker black and coke tnx. 7) Brennivin will do bad bad things to you. its like tequila but better. 8) have fun and say hello to random people, youll meet some quality folk. 9) Learn where the eateries are, it comes in handy, you may have little time for looking about. 10) Bribe Jinx Denton and hell tell you where the best post drinking eateries are. hint: he likes beer. 11) if you see a mantrain join in! you never know where its going.

Try finding me im about 170cm brown, quite long hair and I will 99.9% wearing a black hoody black trousers and some eve shirt. I can tell you more specifically where to find food and what have you since I live here

Yes!
Needs to be 20 years or older, have a Sisters of EVE pass, and pay for the Pub Crawl ticket.
