EFS Manager Eve Financial Services	Posted - 2006.10.25 11:52:00 - [31] I looked at booking the travel package about a month ago, but sort of did not get round to it. Now I go to book a travel package from The Netherlands, and it links me to an iceland air flight booking portal. The other country links take me to a fanfest package booking portal. How do I get the fanfest package from The Netherlands now? Thanks, EFS Manager

Niccolado Starwalker Syncore Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.10.25 15:56:00 - [34] Originally by: Haul'in Stuff now if only CCP could devote more time to repairing their game than organising a brewup....oh well perhaps someone will arrive and start kicking Dev butts.... The FanFest is organized a lot by the marketing department at CCP. And Kierons job is to keep in touch with the players. That includes the other leaders of CCP too, to a certain degree. So I hardly think it hurts CCP game developement that much... Also, the fanfest is in Cooperation with like Hotel Nordica and Icelandair. So a lot of the resources thats involved in the arrangement is out-of-house. Yes, there are some devs who ofcource is going to attend the party Thursday, Friday and saturday. And I am sure you know that most of the party is on a weekend. CCP are bringing the players together. We will meet and have fun. It will involve some alchohole, but we will also learn more about whats coming up in the game, compete with eachother in the fanfest tournament. We can also ask the devs questions and bring ideas of what we want in the game face-to-face. Yes, you can say that the fanfest is just as important for the continual developement as it is for us the players who are going to attend!! IMHO the fanfest is just as important for the devs as it is for the players. Sharing toughts and stories - even over a beer - is more valuable for the game then many believe. They say that information in a war can turn the tide of it. For CCP, learning face to face what we want. And for us to have the chance to ask the questions we want is something we all benefits from. And in the end the user who sits at home. Also, what ruined a lot of other games, like SOEs Star Wars Galaxies, is SOEs lack of interests in their playerplase and their opinions. When all the servers where protesting, yes it happend that their servers went down because of ppl gathering to protest against the coming New Game Enhancement patch (also known as NGE or CU2) SOE answered with banning players and turning the dead ear to the outcry. Answer: 50% of the playerbase left within 6 months... For the players it where a loss to leave a once great game. For SOE... well they lost money, but also reputation. EA and SOE is now widely known for their greed, making bad games, not listening to players. While succeeding game makers like CCP earn reputation by taking the playerbase not just into consideration, but also working close with them to bring the game to a greater state!! THAT is why CCP is so successfull. And the Fanfest i think can take if not all the honour for it, but at least some! In addition to all the great people who works for CCP :)

Taxi, Bus service, Train even? Thanks to anyone who can let me know. Try here I think the Nordica hotel is on the list, I¦m not sure though but I¦m sure you can check that out. Also at the end point there are usually enough taxis waiting to get you to your hotel from there. Trapped in Signature Factory. Send help (but dont kill pandas) - Eris pink Dread

Whats the best way of getting from the airport to the hotel. Taxi, Bus service, Train even? Thanks to anyone who can let me know. The Flybus takes you to the BSI (bus) terminal where you can change to a bus which takes you to the Nordica, or you can get a cab from the terminal. There's a bus schedule, and they leave the airport in connection to arriving flights. The current schedule is only valid until Oct 29th but I guess a new schedule will be put on the page Eris linked above after that date.

For the love of god, don't take a taxi unless you're seriously rich. I made that mistake last year - was ~ ú80. Flybus is probably the best option, should be about ú10.

The Flybus seems to be the best solution really. The price for the bus ride is 1100 ISK. The bus will then take you to Keflavik Busterminal, which is a 50 minute ride from the airport. maybe it will even pass Nordica Hotell too. I dunno. But from The bus terminal it should be easy to take a local bus to the hotel.

You can take a cab from the bus terminal in the city to the hotel though, or just get on the bus for the hotel. Last I checked the Flybus was 1100 ISK.

Slaaght Bana Minmatar	Posted - 2006.10.26 13:11:00 - [45] Watch out for any macroers that turn up ... you may not be able to buy a pint due to bots constantly going up to the bar, buying beer, and dropping it back off to their masters. I endorse this signature! -Suvetar
EFS Manager Eve Financial Services	Posted - 2006.10.26 13:57:00 - [46] I checked the package, but it now seems that we are not at the Nordica anymore :( The packages for the Netherlands are now at Fosshotel Baron. Seems like a rather big pain in the arse to travel back and forth every day between the Nordica and Baron. How far are we talking and what sort of transport is available there? Cheers, EFS

Just relax. Wrangler have promised us that there will be more then enough beer to all. And if not, I will go straight to the Source. All I have to do is ask for Wranglers or Oveurs office...

Cheers, EFS I believe the Nordica rooms are sold out. The Fosshotel Baron is about a 30-45 minute walk from the Nordica. I'll check if there are shuttles going or if you'll have to get a cab.

The UK package is currently booking people into the Park Inn Island hotel - from what I can find that looks pretty close to the Nordica? Anybody know for sure? p.s. Anyone else flying out from Glasgow?

Wrangler	Posted - 2006.10.26 20:30:00 - [50] There is apparently a bus station close to Hotel Baron, and the bus stops at the Nordica. The Park Inn is walking distance so very close to the Nordica.

DJ Xod Minmatar	Posted - 2006.10.26 22:04:00 - [51] Thought I would put this up to give people a visual sense of distance. B-Line between the Nordica and CCP's offices is just over 2 miles. To the main drag it's about a mile and a half from the Nordica. Linkage EveTV is coming!! Join us in IRC!! irc://irc.coldfront.net - #evetv

EFS Manager Eve Financial Services	Posted - 2006.10.29 09:33:00 - [58] Maybe I am being a little bit picky here, but it seems that due to the Nordica (4 star) being full, the packages have changed to other hotels like the Baron (3 star) for the same price. Surely a 3 star hotel is cheaper than a 4 star?! /EFS Manager

If I had to guess I'd say you were paying a premium because you're booking less in advance. Another likely explanation is that the Nordica rate was discounted because CCP is holding the convention there so convention attendees pay a reduced room fee. Either of those is fairly standard practice.
