Will Jillian's be closed to everybody who's not on the list or how's this working?



Jillian's holds about 1,800 people, doesn't sound like they booked the whole place.

I'm sorry to hear it filled up so fast too. I live about 11 miles north of Boston, probably would have went. I am sure the word 'free' helped it to 'sell out' quickly. Smile

Just heard about this today on the splash screen. I've played WoW for 6 years...not a single east coast event. Playing EvE for 3 weeks...event right in my backyard. I might stop by just incase all the zealous people who signed up don't make it.

Post #42...has to be worth some points.

Is there an age limit on this?
My son who is not yet at drinking age plays eve (better than me) and would probably love to go.
Also, I own all the pool tables there and will play anyone, ANYONE for a Vindi or a Rev.


Sold out? Sold OUT?
How on [Random Temperate Planet] can it be "sold out"?

How are you going to stop me getting in? Gate camp? collapse the WH?
I will see you there.

Hey Guard,

It sounds like a lot of people want to get in, are there any plans to contain overflow? Will you be checking names at the door? How is this working?

I am going to hot drop on this even if it is sold out, living way too close to pass up on opportunity to see the space nerds in the neighborhood if anything I'll just drink by myself and shout over the fence.

Pizza Co, you must be there.

Godun, I live 3 hours away. Just a couple of jumps. I'll drink by myself, too, and mock them in local.

It's 20minutes away for me. "Mock them in local" and throw snowballs at them, good thing we expect snowstorm tomorrow.

Anybody have a spare Saturday Pax ticket by chance or find out they can't go? Would be a good way to kill time before the player meet.

The place has a capacity but obviously we'd just prefer to let everyone in. It's basically going to be a first come first serve system of getting in, and yes we will have some plans for overflow mostly revolving around attacking nearby bars in droves if necessary. We'll try to sweet talk the establishment to be lenient with the capacity but we can't promise that everyone will get in.

I'll be hitting Mini-Bar @5 today (friday) if anyone's around.

Otherwise I'll stop by Jillians tomorrow. I work next door so I know all the better bars in the area.

Its still worth going I think. Jillions is huge. And I'm sure you can grab a few folks and hit some of the better bars and clubs.

As you look at the bowling lanes, hug the right hand side and walk down that hidden access passage.

I just left and really liked seeing real people for a change.

CCP Guard is a top banana

Eterne was nice to meet as well.

GM was very human.

Fly safe EVE pals.

Oh and CCP did everything right on food and drinks ;-)

Got my picture of the CCP gods .. Left happy

Food and drink was good.

Leave it to EVE players to snag up any free opportunity then not show up. I guess that the count was something like 80 people.

Those of you who didn't come missed out.

This was fantastic, and made me regret even more that FanFest is incompatible with my RL schedule.

And not just because I walked out with a new RAZER headset either.

Was wonderful talking to devs, GMs, and fellow players, next time there is a meetup anywhere I can reasonably get to I will certainly be there.

We had a great time and it was great to meet some of the Boston pilots, not to mention the heroes who drove from New Jersey, Vermont and other places just for the gathering! Great to meet all of you guys :). I was really happy with Jillian's for an event like this and would definitely look into using it in the future. We hope you guys found all the hidden 50 day codes we left around the place, we didn't hide them very well so we're fairly certain you did ;). We hid some in the chips and they all went so unless you had a particularly rubbery chip and magically saw 50 days added to his/her account...I think they were all retrieved the normal way :).

Big thanks to our partners and friends at Razer for sponsoring us with their top notch gear!

Next up for me is our player gathering at GDC in San Francisco before I return back to the frozen wastes to prepare for Fanfest.

Thanks again!
