It's here! The time to call your boss for a vacation, book the Fanfest package, pack your bags, and then sit and wait for about 3 months. Well, you should at least get some vacation time and book the Fanfest package, might be a bit too early to pack, but that's what I felt like doing. 
If you're done reading my nonsense, head over to the news page and read all about it.
Please note that the Fanfest packages doesn't include the Fanfest pass, which must be bought here.

If there are any problems with booking, you should contact Icelandair customer service.

I'd say a good windproof jacket is the best thing

Q: Is the nordica full?
A: Nope, if you get that, it's an error in booking, probably because we have most of the rooms reserved for Fanfest guests.
Q: Do you have to leave the hotel if you are at Nordica?
A: Nope, it's all there.
Q: Is alcohol going to be insanely expensive?
A: It's Iceland, alchohol is expensive. However, we have a special fanfest bar at the Nordica!
Q: How is the weather in November?
A: Chilly, but quite unlikely to have snow. A fleece or windjacket will do the trick. Incidentally, we sell EVE fleeces

is it to cold to sleep in a tent 
The kind of equipment you'd need to sleep out in that weather would probably cost about the same as the FF package, and then you'd have to have transport from your campsite to the hotel and back anyway.

No, it's just that Icelandair doesn't have regular flights to Helsinki. It's only Mon/Wed/Fri during summer.

Dont listen to the natives, they are so used to the cold they still believe they have a thing called summer in Iceland, thats when it¦s unlikely to snow and there is a chance of sunlight when you are outside ( it doesn¦t say anything about the temperature).
It will be cold, if you want to go outside bring a good warm coat, the kind that makes you feel you look ridiculous and all blown up like a whale will probably be about warm enough.
Also inside people are likely to turn up the heat a lot so wear layers underneath said coat incase it gets too hot again.
Bring cold medicine too
Fanfest is all worth the trouble though
need to update my signature,imagine a pink dread in here with flowers
It¦s either a CCP employee, a foreigner or a combination of both.

Due to budget and timing I'll be using Icelandexpress and stay in a hotel at town centre. Thurday's flight arrives at 22:50 at Keyflavik so I can't make it to fanfest registration on thurdsday afternoon.
So my question is: Can I register on friday?
But of course you can!

is their a limit to how many noobs can attend? I'm not going to be buying my ticket or book hotel/travel for a month or two.
Yes there is a physical limit on the venue, but we do not expect to hit it that easily, so you should be quite safe booking within 2 months.

I will be there! Who else is going?
One question...
Will there be internet at the hotel? If it's like most of the normal wireless internet found at hotels across the world, I have a concern.
The Eve client (as I'm told, haven't checked it out for myself) sends the login information in the clear. If someone logs into Eve over an un-encrypted wireless network, their login info could be stolen. Including any devs who login over said network. It could cause allot of problems.
There is internet at the hotel, the login info is actually hashed and after October the 22nd in Dragon it's heavily encrypted.

I'm mainly wondering just what kind of strange word Oveur will come up with this year.

It's always been two days, thursday is registration and beer, friday and saturday are events and beer.

Do they have busses going from Viking terminal to that airport near Stockholm? 
I'm far from an expert on Stockholm, but i think there are buses from there or near there to the centralstation where you can get a bus or train for Arlanda (the airport). Better get someone from Stockholm to answer that though.
