UPDATED!


This is also posted in the European Lounge section of the boards but I realised that not everyone can post in the thread there, only VIP's so thought I'd mention it here so that non-VIP's (and VIPs) can let me know if they'd like to come along.

If you're interested in coming along you can either post on my original thread. or in this one.

If you're a Free or Premium player you'll have post in this one.

*****

Heya everyone! Just thought I'd let you all know that this years player meet is going ahead as planned Apologies to everyone for not updating this thread with all the information sooner, but there were some circumstances beyond my control I had to contend with. Anyway, without further ado!

WHEN: Saturday 8th September - Sunday 9th September 2012

WHERE: Global Gaming, Birmingham UK

Prices:
Half day pass - 10am - 5 pm or 5 pm - 11: 30 pm = £7
All day - 10 am till 11:30 pm = £12
All night - 11:45pm till 9:45 am = £12

For those of you who haven't been before, Global Gaming are situated just around the corner from where the old Omega Sektor used to be. There's a map HERE, and they have off street car parking just opposite in the multi-storey carpark. It's within walking distance of the city centre with all the shops and other amenities of a busy city.

GGA only has 15 computers, but they do have space for a further 8 in the main room, and another smaller room which can accommodate 8 more. Anyone wanting to bring their own computer/laptop must make sure it has an Ethernet port as they will have to be physically plugged in to the network as there is no wi-fi.

Looking forward to seeing you all again, and a few new faces this time around. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! I shall be panicking like a small wheeled lunatic from now till the event. Again, apologies for not keeping everyone up to date.




*It might take me a little longer than usual due to ill health, but I'll do my best!

Those of you who would be interested in attending, please let me know either by replying to the thread, in game (@Kallandra), or forum PM Also if you could let me know if you'd be interested in bringing along your own laptop/computer or if you'd be needing one just so I have an idea of numbers

I'll keep a list somewhere nearer the time.

would those be sonic/traps monks then? Is this a new AT we've discovered? I should be able to make it - but I won't be able to say until nearer the time but I'll need to use a rig

Every now and again I travel up that way despite my hatred of motorways. If I can afford it at the time I'm sure I'll be there. If I were to go I wouldn't be bringing a computer. Sorry for the unhelpful response.

Just letting folks know I've updated the OP with the updated information

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

What'll happen with this considering the news?

I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

We're still going ahead with the player meet, as a send-off.

Yes, we should still get together and raise a glass to the game that brought us together.

Pretty much my view as well.

We need to give them a send off.

Oh good. Even though I am unable to attend, I didn't want the whole thing to be called off

I'd really like to attend.
I'll try and pop my head round the door for 30 mins and say hello (and a sad goodbye) to you all.

Unfortunately, as the single parent of an 11 year old and a 14 year old, "me time" is somewhat limited.

Same here. I'm going to try and find a baby sitter so that I can at least come out to raise a glass on Friday night.

Looks like I'll be able to show my face on Saturday for at least a few hours. As always, I'll be there with my laptop and an inordinate number of photographs of Baby Shad.

Haven't managed to quit just yet, so yeah, if you need one, you can scab a (colloquial English word for cigarette that is censored), as always.
