Okay so, a little back story: I first started to play Eve when I was 12 (Sorry, I lied when I clicked the 'Age of 13 or higher) and I just turned 18 this past July. I've always wanted to go to Fanfest, but because of the fact I was still a minor I couldn't.
So, long story short I am going to be going to Iceland next year for Fanfest, but I have literally no idea what to bring or what are the best deals for plane tickets/winter gear, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! |

I heard they are extremely strict with their booze laws, but that is fine with me. Drinking and playing eve isn't my strong point. |

Hello Taxtro Grave,
You might want to check out the Fanfest and Iceland FAQ sections on the Fanfest website. As far as I know, we will be offering package deals this year (flights + accommodation + Fanfest tickets) but unfortunately I don't have any details yet. In my opinion, your best bet would be to wait until those are announced, then see if these options work for you. Otherwise, you could use Expedia or Tripadvisor to plan your visit independently.
For the reference, the legal drinking age in Iceland is 20.
See you at Fanfest!

Iceland's a great place if somewhat expensive, If it's in the winter you're goign you are going to need to wrap up warm, I have family over there and the last time I went was in November so it was pretty parky!!
Good decent winter coat with fleece (Berghaus/North Face et al) so do the trick, gloves hat etc really depends how long you spending outside.
Try and have a dip in the Blue Lagoon whilst you're there (bit kitsch but it's good, especially if it's snowing outside), people are friendly and I still find it strange to see children in prams left outside shops! (Iceland is obviously a lot safer than where I live) God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

This ^^^
CCP should give free trips to people destroying over 2000 PLEX.
it'd do wonders for the market! |

At current Iceland prices 50 plexes wouldn't even get you a sandwich in the arrivals lounge. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

50 PLEX's...
-ú15 for a PLEX at the moment.
50 * 15 = -ú750
enough for flights from england anyway, not sure about iceland hotel prices but look at how much weight it lifts off ccp's shoulders... they no longer "owe" that game time to anyone, PLEX prices increase in game...
actually yeah it could be a bad idea... PLEX prices would skyrocket. so more people would buy them with real cash to sell in game.
but it'd make ccp more money so I guess hilmar might think it's a good idea.

@ CCP Spitfire: Sweet, I didn't know there were going to be package deals. Once they are posted, where would I go find them once they've been announced to the public?
@ Signal11th: Sweet, would you have any recommendations of any brands of winter jackets/other winter gear that isn't super expensive but still mighty good. Also, how would I get to the Blue Lagoon?
@ Brooks: I thought you needed your passport to buy drinks and such not?
@ Wacktopia: I've been shaving since I was 11.
Also, I've read that the current exchange rate for the USD to the Icelandic dollar is 1:77. Saying this, how much would a normal meal for a single person cost? Should I just bring a suitcase full of money? |

Our Fanfest site will have all the information; most likely, we will also publish a news item.

There are shuttle buses going there from Reykjavik or Keflavik airport.

Since they fired the guy organising FF, id hold you breath, its most likely going to be a complete mess this time.
Also the package deals are usually a ripoff. Booking seperate flights and hotel is cheaper.
So far i think most of the 30 people i was booking for FF are cancelling they plans to go. |

I'm just waiting on the event tickets to be released now, I've got flights, hotels and transfers sorted.
Regarding the pub Crawl with a dev is that something that can be booked in advance?
Thanks |

There will be signups at the venue itself, but I wouldn't be too worried about missing a spot -- I've never seen a lack of volunteers for the pub crawls.

I'm planning on attending the 2012 fanfest, this will be my first time so I'm sitting here checking everything for prices on the tickets aswell as the Iceland air packages, if anyone can give me an estimate of what the prices could run for that would be great because i would like to actually be in iceland for fanfest 2012 and not at home behind my computer watching it, don't get me wrong the coverage was awesome but I would feel better beeing there. |

How strict is the 20 drinking law in iceland? I know here in Scotland especially in large groups it is pretty easy to get away with being underaged (under 18) without ID in pubs (not so much in off licenses). Is this the case in Iceland or would I need too get some fake IDs to drag my 18yr old (19 by the time the fanfest arrives) ass around the bars? |
