To the lucky ones been able to attend, they will meet the DEVS, hang out with them, know and feel things that players not coming will never know.
Talking with Oveur over these foruns isn't the same that talk to him in person, and by that i mean you will never meet the "flesh and blood human" Oveur.
I stand Oveur just like an example, we have Tomb, T20 and many many more that work daily in CCP. I had watched a couple of time a sneak peek of CCP HQ in video. Who is who? Who works where?
I like to know CCP's "human side" but due to money and time problems i won't be able to go to Iceland in a near future.
To best understand CCP's team human factor is to best understand EVE. I liked the "family" like corp CCP seemed to be in that 3 year old video. Does it remain the same?
I think i'm not alone in this quest for knowledge about CCP and the people that work there.
I make a plea to anyone in CCP willing to do this. Make us "unfortunate NON fanfest atenders" a new video with the human factor.
Simple answers like the car u drive, the drinks you like, hobbys, age, etc.
Anything NOT TOO personal(telefone number,adress and sexual preferences).
Let us "hang out" with you also, even if not attending to the fanfest.
Anyone else feels like me?
(no flames or ranting please, specially from the ones attending ok? )

Well I have done a number of radio/audio interviews with quite a few of the Dev's such as TomB, t20, Kieron, Pann (former community manager) and Zapatero. There are also some more in the pipe line.
I'm biased here but I think they give an pretty good insight into the people behind the game. (The TomB one was a bit weird though because he had the mother of all hangovers at the time)
They were available for download on the EVE radio site but Diaego has broken it (again!), but if you would like some copys of the interview give me a shout and I will see what I can do about sending it to you.
Also in EON there are 2 pretty cool interviews - one with Lekjart and one with Nag
But as for wanting to "hang out" with CCP despite not being there, well that sounds a bit creepy.......... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Admit it, you want to clone them and have your own copy of Oveur. Thats just too weird man, I wont help with that. I draw the line with poking to see if they are real.
If you succeed I'd like a t20 thankyou

Those that are going, please pray, pray and pray some more that you get to the bars before the 3 man drinking crew.
Kieron, Wrangler and Nebulai pretty much raised the bar on just how drunk one can get, and judging from the photos I saw from last year, these guys are hardcore.

Edited by: infused on 08/10/2005 11:11:04 Edited by: infused on 08/10/2005 11:10:29 Yeah... I tired so hard to come this year... but New Zealand to Iceland OMGWTFBBQ prices...
Next year :)
CPP, I loved those HQ videos... when I first came to EVE I watched all of these and it's pretty much what made me join. It was the fact that I knew who the DEVS were and what they got up to. Can you please update these for us when you get some spare time :)
(I'm talking about the making of EVE)
<3 in advance :)

Yoink!
methinks it would be cool to 'get to know' the devs too, I mean who are the brains and personalities of my rl time sink?.
Intresting peeps, just hope I get to go to iceland before eve dissapears (which should give me plenty of time yet)

Its is only at the fan fest that the truly important EVE questions are answered by the devs such as;
How many jegarmeister shots can Oveur do before he falls down?
THESE are the questions that truly need answers tbh.

Well, being a geek, I'd just get them drunk and them make them tell me all about how eve's internals work... how the server cluster works.. what kinda cool omgwtfpwwwwnjooo tricks are in the code. Who wrote the lewd comments (and, if I know my devs, there will be a few). What the "f*ck" word count is in the code.
Any devs wanna answer? ;) (I'll settle for the lewd comment/f*ck count :P) /Dale |

I live in the south part of Europe (Portugal to be more accurate). To get to Iceland i need to pick up 2 flights and i would spend around 1000Ç for one weekend , afterwards there are personal and time problems also.
Oveur and CCP boys could come to Portugal for a nice summer holidays. We have excelent wine, beer, food, girls (hoppe u are not married ), great beachs and we are excelent hosts (if you remember EURO 2004).

I'm quite sure Oveur isn't made out of flesh and blood...

I'd so love to go to the fanfest and talk about missile balance with Jim Raynor & TomB and hail trigger, but as student it's not like I can afford it, timewise nor from the cash flow. My girlfriend would also kick my ass.
Have fun for me will you ;)

To be honest, just pray I never get the chance to attend a Fanfest event. I'd consume 90% of what was on offer before any of you got the chance!

So would this be a good place to be smug about the fact that I _am_ going?
*gloat gloat gloat*
I get to see stuff before all o' you, and get to observe the fearsome beermonsters for real.
But don't worry, I'm sure it'll be absolutely fantastic, I'll have a wonderful time, and I can come back and rant and rave about how wonderful it was, and OMG can't those dudes drink.
Although I daresay I might be getting some of the drinking in myself, as I need a qualative assessment of relative 'how much is a lot to drink' in Iceland compared to England. Investment Opportunity:
