If eve online keeps growing, and dust 514 really kciks of, and the TV show insipre a fandom rivaling trekkies and troopers, what willbecome of fanfest?

what will happen when 3-4 hundred thousand people want to buy tickets to cieland for fanfest, and CCP cant deliver? that would be sad.

there is probably little or no point to this point, so how about every body throws out design ideas for a CCP/EVE themed convention center capable of holding the equivalent of the icelandic population. remember to include a dark wing in a forgotten adn easily ignored part of the building to shove all the world of darkness plyers in.TwistedTwisted

Sorry, we couldn't possible have 300,000 visitors at fanfest. The island would sink. Please think of the puffins :(

CCP will use the extra funds to buy reykjavik , then they will evict the population and use the whole city for fanfest.


More likely : i guess they would hold fanfest somewhere else where they can hold a larger ammount of people.

They would probably start holding it in Atlanta. Though why anyone would want to go there is beyond me.

Fanfest is a myth anyways. Getting there would require getting on an airplane. Airplanes are expensive and EVE players don't fly what they can't afford to lose, EVER. So no one goes to fanfast and CCP makes lots of cut outs that look like people to fool people who watch fanfest on Twitch.

Ingenious really.

Won't work, EVE players also Don't Sail what they can't afford to lose. And who wants to be on a cruise ship with another Icelandic volcano erupts, you'll miss all the action...

I await for when CCP decides to merge "The Grand Masquerade" with Fanfest. The space nerds vs vampire nerds.

Build a bigger island? you know you could do it, just some controlled dynamite on those volcanoes, BOOM, instant landmass, heck you could make money off it, who wouldnt pay to come watch a volcano explode?
