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.

Fantastic!
Only that I get an error when I try to order from London. Does anyone else get this?
PS. To be exact I get with Nordica Option ( no rooms left ) :(
With the other one I get ( You cannot order this package online )

Do ISD not get the pass free, or do you just get free beer?

wystler, did you order the Nordica or Loftleidir?. Nordica seems to be full now, Loftleidir gives me an error "not possible to book online".

Hmm ... The flight back to Frankfurt starts at 07:35 local time.
That would mean we had to get up at around 04:30 on a sunday morning, gulp down some coffee, and leave the hotel at around 05:00
549Euro EarlyBird offer + 65USD FanFest ticket. That's some money for 2.25 nights.

I have been at the FanFest04 and spent the saturday afternoon and night in bed with a nasty cold. Then the wakeup call came half an hour late so it was 'Jump into clothes. Grab bag. Run for bus.' for me. If Lufio didn't poke me in the bus I'd certainly taken the bus back to the Nordica and missed the plane.
Please fix the broken forum!

Yes, I thought I would have "at least" a week of time to book a package.. seems not. :(
Let's hope it's some sort of error. I'll give'em a call on Monday morning.

-5¦C to +5¦C - The gulfstream runs past Iceland.
You probably will see snow on the heights north of Reykjavik, meybe even in the streets.
But when you book your room at the Nordica, you don't have to leave the hotel unless you have to go back to the airport.
Warm and water resistant clothes are a must in Iceland all year long - The weather can change quickly. Multiple layers of clothes are a pretty good solution.

I booked all my neccesary tickets and rooms for a week ago. Could not wait anymore :)
I booked for 4 nights. wednesday the 8th to sunday 12th. I hope to see some of you already on Wednesday. Would be nice to have someone to drink and chat with!
My airplane leaves Oslo at 14:05 norwegian time at the 8th, and I will be flying out of Keflavik on the 12th at 17:00 Iceland time. And my seat number is 19F both ways, so you all know that.

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

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.

I really really like thats there gonna be a special fanfest bar at Nordica. For some reason it feels right
Anyway. When do you think the program for the fanfest will be ready? Now that the packages are ready, and I have my room and air tickets resereved, you start to look for your next catch.

The package from Manchester seems to be borked. It runs from the 6th to the 10th, and you can't seem to extend it to the following Monday the 13th. Sending Iceland Air a query about it.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Assuming you don't live in any of those cities from the US to fly to Iceland you will have to purchase another ticket just to fly there? I wouldn't know due to the fact I hardly fly these days.

Any clues yet as to when the CCP 'events' will take place.
I'd kinda like to do a bit of sightseeing (other than the hotel bar ) while there, but it's kinda hard to plan ahead, unless I know when the EVE things are going to happen (ie. at what time during the day(s).
Some approximate times would be good enough (for now I think.)

No, it's just that Icelandair doesn't have regular flights to Helsinki. It's only Mon/Wed/Fri during summer.
Wrong partially!
But if you seek it over internet you see that you can get cheap tickets to iceland but you have to waste half a day waiting in Oslo. I booked ticket from Turku to Stockholm via viking line (boat) and from stockholm there is direct flight to Reykjavik. I dont have site here where I (GF... I come there with GF!!! silly me) booked frights and I will be staying over there with corpmates place so I spare some cash in that. Ofc I pay him for little of troubles but still much cheaper than hotel. Note that I will be staying there whole week so I take site seeing in same trip. Oh and one point it is cheaper to take way I did it over 100Ç.

Oveur, may I suggest a history lecture? It's been 3.5 years, plenty of material to work with. Using your databases (pilots in space/ships destroyed) I bet you can show us the evolution of 0.0 and empire space, fall of alliances and main events. Would be good to remember for old-timers and interesting for newcomers.
Just my 2 aurar.

all that beer has sapped away at there creativity. Imagen we all have a pool of creativity, and alchohol allows us to get more of it at a time, eventually, it's gunna run out alot faster.
However, i am willing to donate my brain, for the good of the people, to be transplanted to the devs, i call for fellow players to donate their brains for the good of the masses.

Wrangler, I certainly hope that the registration is before the bar opens. I am highly unsure if I can write my name - or even spell it correctly - later that day
Seriously! I am so looking forward meeting you all that weekend in Iceland!

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.

If you are traveling with Viking line to Stockholm the nearest underground station will be "Slussen" ( 5 min walk) and from there you can take either the red line or green line to T-Centralen (two stops away). From the T-Centralen you can take the Arlanda Express straight to terminal 5 where Icelandair usually departures.
The subway ticket costs 20 sek but the Arlanda Express costs 200 sek, unless you are a student with ISIC card or 25 or younger, then the price is 100 sek. The train leaves every 15 min and it takes 20 min to the airport.

A little more information for french (and those who want to depart from paris)
Departure will be the 10 of November and arrival will be late in Iceland so you miss the afternoon
There's another departure the 8 of November
I said that it's the best option
you can visit the country (it's beautiful)
Return will be the 13 of november
Let me know here

As long as you have a credit card, you can book it anywhere
Either find a dutch guy to translate for you, or use UK site as reference to know what you are clicking.
I had the same problem flying from Spain. One option was to book a cheap flight to Stansted and then move to Heathrow by bus. But the schedule was too tight.
I went for Icelandexpress (they fly from Stansted airport) and booked a cheaper hotel.
See you there.

A beer costs aprox 700 ISK for a 0,5l of beer at Vox Restaurant at the hotel Nordica. 700 ISK is 8-9 dollar i think?
Check out the Vox Restaurant Here.
I have already booked my tickets, and will arrive at 8th of november! :)

Would love to hang out and drink lots and lots and lots of beer with everyone although last call to the airlines presented me a cost for airfare of about 1500.00 USD.
How about an "CCP-EVE World Tour" in the near future? CCP would recieve a warm welcome here in the states.
