Naga Elohim	Posted - 2008.08.28 15:25:00 - [1] I find myself wanting to move to Iceland every time Fanfest comes around. CCP should maybe switch the location of the Fan Fest every year or so. There's a CCP Office in Atlanta that wouldn't be too bad. Or Chicago's McCormick Place (where I live ). CCP already has a presence here in the US so it wouldnt be all that troublesome. It would give a chance for the US fans to really show some support and maybe even boost Eve-O popularity here in the U.S. Then another year we can have it in the UK that way the Brits can show their love for Eve as well. I just think it would really reach out to the player base and make this even more of a community. Besides I dont know the demographics of Eve but I know there are alot of US players and I know they would love to go if it wasn't so far all the time. Your thoughts please...

Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.08.28 15:32:00 - [5] Given the cost of travel is constantly going up I definitely see the appeal of the fanfest moving around instead of the fans moving to fanfest. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

CrayC Gallente CrayC Inc.	Posted - 2008.08.28 15:56:00 - [13] How come every time someone wants to move the FanFest to a new location, it's always where they live themselves? There is a reason for doing it in Iceland. Here's a tip: Quote: It would give a chance for the US fans to really show some support and maybe even boost Eve-O popularity here in the U.S. Then another year we can have it in the UK that way the Brits can show their love for Eve as well. Have it in the US and the US players can really show their support. Have it in the UK and the UK players can really show their support. Have it in Greenland and the green people can really show their support. Have it in China and we will all be mining? No way! The FanFest will always be held at a place that is far from someone. If distance is all that is keeping you back, then you simply do not want to go bad enough. I live in denmark. Iceland is fairly close to me, only a 3 hour flight. I would participate in a Fanfest in all of the above mentioned countries, but it still belongs in Iceland. That should not change, ever...
Smokums	Posted - 2008.08.28 16:03:00 - [14] Move fanfest to US? No.. just wouldn't be right. Have something similar in Atlanta, say 6 months opposite Fanfest? Oh yes.. Yes indeed.

Yeah! I mean, it could never be the exorbitant cost of airfare for people who may be on limited budgets, the difficulty in getting a travel visa in a post 9/11 world, the HUGE hassle that flying entails, or family and work responsibilities for EVE's large adult gamer population.

In my case it's the first and last last items that are most problematic. Simply put, I can't afford to fly to Iceland from Buffalo, NY, USA and I have a job with limited time off that is already dedicated to family events and needs. So you will never see me at a Fanfest in Iceland, as much as I would love to go. Atlanta would be doable, although even that would be a stretch. Chicago would actually be easier, as it is a shorter drive, although Atlanta does make a bit more sense as CCP has a branch there. But flights to Atlanta from Buffalo are actually quite cheap, and hotels there aren't too bad. (They have a really cool one that's hollow all the way up the inside, so it looks like you are inside of a large creature or an old style sailing ship, looking at the ribs. It's really neat!) So CCP, Please consider Atlanta for a fan fest. Tactical Logistics using the last T1 Frigate hull!
Naga Elohim	Posted - 2008.08.28 16:59:00 - [26] Look, Im not saying Fanfest should be moved to the US forever, just switch it up a bit. It would get Eve's name out there and grab some attention from the media. I notice most of those who are saying "Well if it's too far you dont want to go bad enough" are 3 hours away from it. It would take americans a day or two to get there. I would really love to go, but this is for the Popularity of Eve, not my personal enjoyment. I work with college kids who play WoW and AoC and they said if they heard of Eve when it came out, they would have been playing it all along.... Thats says alot and is exactly how i felt when i first played the game. I wish i had known about it earlier. The only way I found out about this game was through a Banner from another website. So please CCP consider having it in Atlanta next year and or switch location every year. Like a rotation. There are many benefits from this one being exposure and the other being a healthy turnout. Not to mention the loads of money CCP would get from attendance. I think those that agree with me should'nt let this issue die. This is something we spend our time and lives on and we should be proud of it.

Valan The Fated	Posted - 2008.08.28 17:55:00 - [32] lol I knew what the answer was going to be. So there will be Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, African Americans and various other Americans turning up. Just pulling your leg. I've been to the US a lot the racial divides there are pretty obvious. True America has a diverse population as the news has reported recently the vast amount of Americans won't be white soon. Which being on a continent whose indeigenous people aren't white its not really a surprise. But the player base is supposedly split equally between the US and Europe at the moment. So that gives a clue, 90% of people that turn upto a fanfest in the US will live in the USA. Because of Iceland being the place it is and Europe being diverse by the fact its not one country more diverse people turn up. Still no reason not to have two events. If you have an alternating event Americans don't make one and the Europeans don't make the other not really a bloody solution is it lol. So we all lose out. Why not have two and we all turn up to one. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig

Well thats the great thing about Europe. I can pretty mcuh guarantee the US fanfest will be Americans only lol You really have no clue what the States are like then Slade Well he does have a small point. Iceland is part of the EU's open-borders scheme, which means every one of the 100's of millions of people in Europe can travel there without getting a Visa. Its far more difficult for Europeans to get Visas to travel to America. If it were held in America, a lot of Europeans would find it more difficult, as well as face an off-putting 10+ hour flight. Iceland is sorta the halfway point ------ Originally by: Micheal Dietrich You can even get a midget with a camera to sit on the floorboard.

Its far more difficult for Europeans to get Visas to travel to America. If it were held in America, a lot of Europeans would find it more difficult, as well as face an off-putting 10+ hour flight. Iceland is sorta the halfway point Well right now, Iceland is more difficult for Americans to get to. Its closer to Europe than the US by far, plus theres no treaties or open border policies that the US has that can be taken advantage of. Even though Iceland is a neutral location, Having an event in US/UK would make fans more entusiactic, thus increasing exposure which = MONEY!!! If you have it in Iceland one year, US the next year, UK the following year, no one would be left out. Plus if it is held in UK, thats still europe and a 21/2 hour flight for europeans. Plus it wouldn't hurt at all. Everyone would have thier turn. Why did CCP open an Atlanta Location? Surely not just to develop more games. P.S. And if you look at a map, Iceland it wayyyyy closer to Europe Than the US. Not to mention your name may be on a no fly list. lol

Iceland is sorta the halfway point It's not exactly like going next door for Americans to come to Iceland either. He's also entirely missing the point about it being damn expensive and time consuming to fly all the way to Iceland. Additionally, his point about it being "more diverse" in Europe is just bull hockey. We have literally EVERY Ethnic group on the Planet (except maybe some remote indigenous groups) living here in the U.S. We are a nation of Immigrants, everybody here came here from somewhere else. (Including "Native" Americans, as their people originally came across the Bering Land Bridge waaaaay back in time, but well AFTER Europe and Asia were fully populated.) So it is literally NOT POSSIBLE for a fan fest in Europe to have a more diverse Ethnic makeup than one in America. Keep in mind, we aren't asking that Fan Fest move PERMANENTLY to the U.S., merely that it oscillate back and forth from Iceland to the US and back. This would allow each player base, Euro and Americas, to have a shot at an inexpensive Fan Fest to attend. So stop trying to be so exclusionary you Euro types. We Americans want some love too.

Suze'Rain Caldari	Posted - 2008.08.28 18:58:00 - [36] I'd just be happy if fanfest didn't clash with Whitby Goth Weekend. however, predominantly male gamers, even with CCP's slightly older average age of player still threatens us with with the inherent problem of obese unwashed geeks talking about their characters... Or... I could go to Whitby, get utterly ratarsed in the company of pretty goths in corsets and fishnets in the Elsie, blow all the money it'd cost to get to Iceland on alcohol and frock coats, listen to great bands, go half deaf, dance to obscenely bad 80's cheese at a club hotter than lucifer's crotch on the sunday evening, before crawling back to a cosy bed with a gorgeous and wonderfully elegant silver-haired lady... Hrm. let me think.... what a tough choice. see you when you change the schedule, CCP. :)

Despite Captian Kirk's travels on the Starship Enterprise, the Priceline Negotiator was unable to find me any flights from New York to Iceland. If I book NOW using Orbitz.com (which does find good prices), for the 2nd weekend in July 2009 (the furtherest out it will let me), a round cost ticket will cost about $910 whether I return on a Sunday or Monday. Plus any hotel costs once at the Fanfest, which will be extra days for US travelers as many of the flights I looked at are overnight flights and are arriving at 5-7AM (there is no way I can sleep on an an airplane in uncomfortable seats), so that Icelandair can takes its departing passengers out at more convenient times. New York: $910 Dallas: $1150 Los Angeles: $1250 Chicago: $1100 With prices like this, turn out from American and Canadian players will always be low. The prices above can get me a week long beach front condo at any decent shore/tourist city on the east coast of the US. Having concurrent fanfest parties in different cities around the globe is what - to hard to do?

Nypon Unseen University	Posted - 2008.08.28 20:30:00 - [43] Going to the US, a huge hazzle for anyone not american. Sorry, but as long as the department for homeland defence and the US department of foreign affairs insist on being the biggest nitpicking idiots on the planet when it comes to allowing people "easy" access to the US it is just not going to happen. For all americans, are you aware of HOW many forms and papers i had to fill out and sign when i applied for a turist visa? And I am from Sweden, one of the few countries in the world where one can actually get visas to the USA with very little hassle. And from 2009 and onward one has to apply for a ESTA before going to the US. Summa summarum: US citizens going to Iceland, while "expensive", fairly simple. EU citizens going to the US, expensive, and "difficult". Non-EU citizens going to the US, riiiiight... it lies within the realms of possibilty atleast...

Yeah! I mean, it could never be the exorbitant cost of airfare for people who may be on limited budgets, the difficulty in getting a travel visa in a post 9/11 world, the HUGE hassle that flying entails, or family and work responsibilities for EVE's large adult gamer population. It must be that people just simply don't want to go badly enough. Yep, that's it. It's not difficult to fly anywhere in a post 9/11 world apart from America. Hence why have it there if its the most difficult place to go to? I can't see why not have one in Iceland, and one in Atlanta. he's got a point Originally by: soldieroffortune 258 "*Eve is about making yourself richer while making the other guy poorer*"
TimMc Gallente Genos Occidere	Posted - 2008.08.28 21:49:00 - [51] Because you know... Europes playerbase is totally smaller than USA in Eve.... and the game is completely not made in Iceland. Plus Iceland is close-ish to the centre of the playebase. Get a ****ing grip and spend your money. Goto a CCP party at another event if your really want to see a CCP party.

Besides, just because it's made in Iceland doesnt mean it has to stay there. Just because toothpaste was invented in Egypt doesnt mean Egyptians are the only ones who want it.
Lithalnas Amarr Headcrabs	Posted - 2008.08.29 16:05:00 - [53] how about San Francisco bay area, they have huge convention centers in the bay area, plenty of hotels too. The food is some of the best in the states and with the poor us dollar most euro people can come here cheap. ------------- fixed for greater eve content
Crimsonjade Amarr Secret Service	Posted - 2008.08.29 16:13:00 - [54] I'm more likely to go to the fanfest in Iceland than one in the US and i even Live in the US. going to Iceland to see a place i never have seen before. An island Nation that sits way the hell out away from Europe and the US just screams "plan a vacation around it" One Held at Whitewolf's base sounds like a good idea. But with the Resrictions on Travel ( stupid ****ers SEARCHED my 78 year old Father) i really cant imagine many people wanting to come here.
