Hey guys,

With #50 of the City Scoop coming up, I'm looking to document Arena history from Issue 4 to now.

Specially looking for:

-Colorful quotes and anecdotes from vets
-Team line-ups and their evolution
-Links to scores from matches back then
-Memorable matches/drama
-Teams from back in the day (seem to remember Tribute, Lion's Den, JAL, HVND, etc)
-How organized it was:

TL DR

Vets: lf some info on how it was back in the day, screenies to some scores, info on old teams, quotes, anything will help.

There were to leagues with drafts prior to the last league.
There were several server v server matches.
TP Foe actually used to be a pretty frequently used power (TP+ET+TF) if I remember correctly.
There were tanks and scrappers.

As mentioned the dead body thing.
Arena bug that shot you into peoples PVE missions instead of the match.

Sure more will come to me.

Latest rumor is that Barack Obama is going to make an appearance at Comic-Con.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be awesome, but I somehow doubt it. It would be damn cool if he did though, especially if he showed up in costume.

[/ QUOTE ]

I doubt it too, but it is out there. (Was even mentioned in the May issue of Wired Magazine.)

Will there be an official NCSoft presence/booth at San Diego? I noticed it's listed on the official CoX calendar, so I'm hoping. And if so, since SDCC is all about exclusives, there should be an exclusive DVD available at the NCSoft booth that gives the attendee a "Comic Book Geek" badge or some such.

[/ QUOTE ]

There should be, there has been the last few years. Comps set up with different games.

Last year David Nakiyama was there doing free drawings of your character if you brought in a picture. Hobo Healer drawing.

They also had other goodies.

I'll be there, even started my own thread 'cause I didn't see this one So I guess the question is, where to meet, drink, and be merry?

[/ QUOTE ]

Would be happy to provide suggestions. I live about 5 mins from the convention center and I work right down the street.

Padres are on the road the weekend of Con, so that will eliminate a lot of the crowd downtown. It is Con though, which is always crazy.

I will be there, but think this will be the first time in a long time I wont be there all five days.

Will be there preview, Thursday and maybe Friday. Might have to go out of town on Saturday.

I tried to join the channel month or so ago and it didn't work. Could the channel be full? Most likely it was user error but just in case I thought I'd mention it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, not full. Still just shy of 1000 members and the channel max is much more than that.
