Taxtro Grave Black Aces Against ALL Authorities 0	Posted - 2011.10.20 02:24:00 - [1] - Quote 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!

AND by the current eventy, watch out for devs with pitchforks and stuff. ------------------------------w00t w00t rapetrain------------------------------

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! CCP Spitfire \| Russian Community Coordinator @ccp_spitfire

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.

At current Iceland prices 50 plexes wouldn't even get you a sandwich in the arrivals lounge. 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.

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?

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.

About hotels, what are a few good ones close to Fanfest? Or somewhere were it's mostly populated by Eve-players?

5ateke Wootin Town Wootang Clan 0	Posted - 2011.10.24 06:08:00 - [28] - Quote 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.
Tze Len Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2011.10.25 00:22:00 - [29] - Quote 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?

If you get past the door the likelyhood of being asked for an ID at the bar is trivial. But it really depends on the place, and the door surveillance is very often VERY strict but at few times not. Also some places have a higher age limit in, 25 years is common for those.

Yeah, the departure of CCP Tyr is more than a little worrying, not to mention the fact that it's the first time they're holding it in the new conference centre. Also confirming that separate booking are the way to go, the whole shebang only cost me a shade over -ú300 last year, and I booked fairly late (January).

Temperature wise, it's not that bad. Bring a winter coat, one where you can pull the lining out to make a spring jacket. Hat, gloves, boots. Last fanfest it was barely above freezing most of the time. I had to worry more about the rain then the cold. (I'm Canadian, so anything above freezing is warm enough) Costs, my wife and I went for around $3,000(can, but is basically the same as USD). Food was a LITTLE more expensive, but not much more then your normal Mall food. Pizza's under 20$, burgers, under $10. What to take? Phone(WITH ROAMING PLAN, or WiFi) Laptop(If you have one/want one) Tablet(If you have one/want one) Money. Passport ID(Drivers license) clothing for a week. Take extra. You may get your clothes wet due to snow/rain/beer/Pee(laughing too hard). Books/ebooks for down time BRING EXTRA LUGGAGE. You will want to buy some shirts/swag from the EVE store. Camera(if you're not using your phone). I'd recommend going/staying a few days more, and exploring Iceland. There are many trips that can be done for low cost, and all through one service you can schedule from your hotel. 3-5hr tour for 30$-50$ Hook up with corp/alliance mates and go with them. Hell, hook up with people from your RED list. It's still more fun then solo. -áFiS FiS FiS FiS FiS FiS FiS FiS FiS FiS FiS FiS MIcrotransactions are for DEAD MMO's. NOT for successfull ones. I already pay for 5 accounts. I WILL NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING ELSE!!!

Winter Jackets: North Face/Helly Hansen/Berghaus/Colombia anything really that will keep you warm If you have worn a coat in winter and it keep you warm (as long as your don;t live in the Bahamas) that will do Blue Lagoon is in Grindavik which you will pass on your way from the airport to Rek, so basically if you want to go there just drive back towards the airport and you will see a sign for Grindavik. Try and go to Geyser as well although not have as impressive since some tosspot dropped a large boulder down it. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster.
