Why not an Euro Quakecon?


(GlobalWar) #1

I really would have liked visiting Quakecon but it is very expensive for someone living in Europe. A gamer can buy a new pc for the cost of visiting Dallas…

SD is a very rich company next year (after selling over a milion QW copies in just the first month). So maybe SD can sponsor a London based Quakecon2007?

I agree we need one in europe and make it uk based as i aint got round to gettin a passport yet!

EDIT: No where to post this so i would just like to say i laughed heartly at a 3 year post rhodes resurrected. The migthy wils was fooled and also me the lowly fool!

I agree mortis that it highly unlikely but one can hope!

Don’t count on it. Splash Damage is still a “small” company. You might try iD, however; they’re a larger company with many game “families”. If someone could prove that advertisers/sponsors would cough up enough cash and a central location was chosen, you might get some traction. To hold a QuakeCon-like event you need:

  1. money
  2. popular cutting-edge games/teams/players
  3. famous sponsors (ATI sponsored the Crossfire Team from www.xfire.be )
  4. publicity/big prizes
  5. more money

-edit-

I too was lmao at Wils’ lock of that resurrected thread. I was reading it going, “wtf?” I was getting disappointed that ET:QW beta had been leaked just like Wolfy… but then I noticed the dates…

If SD would sponsor it, I sugest to call it “SDCon” as it is.
(At least you can type it faster than “QuakeCon”.)

In Sweden we have http://www.dreamhack.se/ ( http://www.dreamhack.se/dhs06/en.100.html for english) twice a year summer and winter with about 5000 people at each time.

16 or more sponsors and booths, and alot of gameing and tournaments.

Bringing peope to LAN is easy?

With tickets, the economy would be easy to balanse?

Uhm, Euro-QuakeCon in London?? :eek2:

Bring it to the continent! Berlin or something … :stuck_out_tongue:

A Splash Damage LAN is an idea that has been toyed with for a while in the office and it’s something we’d definately like to do, but not before ET:QW ships :wink:

Ask us again next year!

Berlin would be the best place :D. Btw there has to be a EuroQuakecon because the main clans winning this Events are even Europeans, but the main clans taking part on this events are us clans…

Or how about a massive Lan party in some creepy old Castle for RTCW/ET/QW non-stop frag-fests, candel light keynotes in the dungeon, and a bbq/party on the roof.

well, if i’d be in a castle i’d take a paint-ball gun with me to get some real 3d gameplay :smiley:

problem is: who cleans up afterwards :uhoh:
