EVE Online Fanfest 2009

The Sixth Annual Party at the Top of the World October 1 - 3

Iceland Beckons... Are You Brave Enough to Heed the Call?

It is time once again to start marking your calendars and making your reservations for the 2009 Fanfest in Reykjavik, Iceland! Get ready for another weekend of PVP tournaments, hanging out with the developers, and partying in a sea of fellow EVE Online fans. As always, Fanfest attendees will be treated to videos and announcements on the future of EVE and what players can expect in the upcoming expansions.

Fanfest returns to the epic Laugardalshöll Convention Center, October 1 - 3. A list of Icelandair world departure points and Fanfest packages can be found below. Last year flights to Iceland sold out so book your flight as soon as possible!

Further details, including Fanfest 2009 Access Pass availability and pricing, will be announced later, as the event draws closer. Stay tuned for further updates.

 

 

Fanfest brings together players in a massive celebration of the virtual world of EVE Online. Travelers from all around the world gather in one of the most beautiful and unique locations the planet has to offer. Allies and rivals alike set aside their ingame differences to share drinks with one another and forge new friendships. CCP developers mingle with the community, always up for  „talking shop" and getting to know the fans.

Iceland is a once-in-a-lifetime destination vacation. Perlan, the Saga Museum, the Blue Lagoon, the Northern Lights and many other wonders await your arrival. The Sisters of EVE Program will give your friend or partner a chance to visit Iceland along with you: Details regarding the program coming soon.

NOTE: Limit one spouse ticket per Fanfest ticket. Spouse tickets are not available individually-they must be purchased with an accompanying Fanfest ticket.

 

* Please note that you have to be 18 years or older to enter the Fanfest area.

While I am not sure if I can make that time of year, I'll certainly be aiming to attend another Fanfest.

I know many of you are poor students or family men, but anyone else thinking about it?

I won't rule out going there.
I won't count on it either, though.
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Given the rubbish £-Euro rates at the moment, it may work out cheap for your continentals to come to the Uk and fly from here :)

Looking at the prices, it seems it would be smart to buy the packet in Swedish crowns (hooray for the sucky status of the Swedish money ;) ). However, I am not sure I actually have time next autumn, remains to be seen.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

I'm glad I retired early. RT @Rubber_Rabbit Classic burlesque depravity at CCP party, scantily clad vampire girls, fire jugglers and alcohol Link 3 hours ago

Looks like these CCP guys know how to party.  ;D
