Avatea, do we need to RSVP for the Meet 'n Greet or anything?

Do you have to RSVP?
This is the RSVP! ^.~
21+ at Meet&Greet
CON's themselves are not really 21+, as long as parental guidance is there. As for the Meet and Greets, it is highly doubtful for anyone below 21+ for specific reasons.
I get to be representative for not just one MMO this time! I hoping boss let me sneak away from location to City Of.. panel, here to hoping our panel time does not conflict with yours! Wishing!
Can't wait to see everyone again!
Love,
Mishii
<3
Soon�
how much is it to get into the M&G?
So the dev team will not be on the showfloor but only at the panel?

You guys realize NYC is within Slax territory right?
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
So you're saying this won't be a Slax-optional party?

Techno... You would get far much more usage of this code than I.
If you didn't begin a derailment in the costume thread... I'd give it to you!

So once again, another event and exclusive giveaways for NA subscribers and a big two fingers to anyone outside. Not even a virtual meet and greet on the Test Server.
I don't think I have any words left to describe my frustration in a polite manner over this.

Try not to feel too bad Dante, I have a few friends that play this game with their teenage kids and live only a short cab ride from this place. Doesn't look like those teeange fans will be able to attend the M&G with their parents either since they are under 21. It's really too bad, the kids are the ones that got the parents playing and the parents have decided to boycott the M&G since their kids can't go.

Hehe, Hmmm... I was thinking that the codes would work for either or... but, that's true, the contest codes specify NA/EU...
I will endeavor to procure a code that will work for the EU game.
Wish us luck!

Hopefully they will have some EU codes available. After all, there will be people from Europe at NYCC.

Actually MishiiLove, there is more than one meaning to the term boycott. While you can boycott something with the whole protest signs and all, that is not the meaning for this one. They have no intention of attending the event to show their displeasure and to support their kids. It is my understanding that they are sending letters to the company protesting these Adult Only M&G's as well.|

It's their way of saying, "If your alcohol is so important for you that you are willing to ignore a large portion of your player base, then I have no need to meet you."
I recommended that they post something in these forums themselves to show how upset they are. They said that the whole recent "Emote Pack" issue, and how NO ONE at the company ever responded to them, seems pretty clear proof that these forums are useless. (Their words, not mine. Though I am starting to see their points.)

GMan, just out of curiousity, where would your friends suggest they hold the M&G? I'm not on one side or the other here, but short of renting a ballroom at a hotel, I'm not sure where else you could hold one of these. |

I would have to think that even if there were "All Ages," the majority of attendees would be adults, and regardless of anyone's views on it, many adults like to drink alcohol when they socialize. So I think it's wrong to portray the Over 21 aspect of the M&Gs as Paragon Studios putting alcohol ahead of kids, rather I think they are catering to the larger portion of their player base.

It says nothing about an age limitation, and since it's in a hotel meeting space i see no reason there would be one.

Actually, when we talked about this I said basically the same thing and they reminded me that many restaurants and hotels have large areas that could be rented out for an event like this (They named two, but I didn't pay attention.). Therefore they would not have to have alcohol at the event. A lot of times hotels give discounts too if several reservations are made for a particular event, so Paragon Studios may have been able to save money this way. Me, I can go either way though, I do not favor venues that automatically force a certain segment out of the M&G.|

As for whether this particular place is a 21+ M&G type of place . . . I have no idea, never saw that in the hotel website or the lame website for the club itself. I have to assume that Jay and Terry are drawing a conclusion based on the fact that most (or all?) the other M&Gs have been at bars that did not allow teens in. Or it could be that since they are from the area, they know something I don't. I didn't ask them about that though.
I find it "telling" though that I asked about this in an earlier post, because Jay and Terry were so pissed ,and still have not received and answer. Kinda reminds me of another few recent threads that never got an answer.
Anyways, I live in Hawaii, so I am pretty sure I'll never get to go to a M&G here. At least the right and left coasters have that going for them.
Okay I'm slow, but how do we get to the meet and greet? It's not part of comic con so what do we just show up to the Hudson Hotel? I'd hate to spend an hour on the train only to be turned away at the door.
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Thank you. I will be there at Comicon and the M&G. Not sure about the panel session though.

If you go to the hotel web site and look at the mettings area you will see that they basicly have hall space. The original post made no mention of the club that was a link a player posted to help people. My guess is this will be held in the meeting spaces as doing so gives NC soft either a discount or a certain amount of rooms which they do need to attend the con.|

I have seen players answer things purposly wrong to stir up drama if it's not in the main post take it for what it is a guess. Until Tea or 08 clarify it i see no age restriction atm in that main post.
