Out of Game Events and Gatherings

Once again we have the pleasure to invite all EvE online players to a real life “blob” this time in Londun UK.
Last year we had a great event at the Kytoto game bar in Manchester , but this time after confirming the event and all arrangement was made they bailed on us :(

So after looking around for alternatives we have decided to move the event to
Goodmans Field Wetherspoons Saturday, 2'nd of November 2013
http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/goodmans-field
Location : http://goo.gl/maps/83kNb

They have excellent connections to the public transport systems tube and buses.

So who is the event open to ?
The event is open to everyone who plays eve or a wannabe EvE player. If you are a newbe or even a wannabe EvE pilot or maybe a hard core pilot this is the place to be. Bring your friend or coworker and show them what this awesome game is like :)

What will the cost be for the EvE blob ? Any entrance fee ?
For us to use the room on saturday from 12:00 downtime be 0.- !
It free so you are more then welocme

I need to sleep somewhere any tips ?
There is several hotels, bed & breakfast nearby and I am working on a discount code at the Ibis Hotel like we had last year. The Ibis hotel is cheap clean and good hope to have that code and price rdy for you soon.
But remember you have to book your own accommodation we are just trying to get you a good deal here :)

Will CCP attend the EvE blob ?
That is a excellent question . We already have the skype session cleared like we had last year when CCP had a fantastic session with us showing the blob a lot of new stuff and playing around with big shiny ships and some ships that players had never seen before . And as last time we will have the opportunity to ask the CCP questions live during the skype Twitch TV session.

We moved the EvE blob to 2 november because of the Las Vegas trip for CCP and the recovery time for their personnel :) but CCP Phantom has promised to do their best so I am pretty sure we will have some surprises for you there :)


What else will be happening ?
Since many of us are arriving on Friday we will blob the bar friday evening to make sure that we don’t experience any lag at the Jita desk :) Friday last year was fantastic and I personally made a lot of new friends out of game and in game and it was so nice to talk to other EvE players about game playing ISK making and fun memories we have in game .

On saturday we have a program ( se below ) but we will also have some other stuff happening
- EvE quiz with nice prices ( TBA together with CCP) ( we have 2 carriers already :D )
- EvE blob presentation ands a short speach by Kluten
- Photo session ( memories to be made)
We also hope to have a CCP EvE stand with information and stuff for sale
and we have some classified ones as well :)


Program for EvE blob

Friday 1 of november 2013
As players gather in from all over europe we will met up for a pre party eveing until we are booted from the bar because of DT is incoming. I have no official program for this eveing but I have challenged Midder & Pewkitt to sing some karakoe :D


Saturday 2 of november 2013

12:00 Metting up at the bar
- Welcome by Kluten

- CCP Devs live on Twich TV & skype
- EvE quiz with awesome pices and honor :)
- Interview online with Pilots to Twich tv
- After sessions report & comments
We also wanna do a game session with some “how to” tutorials so if there is anything you want us to look into or CCP show on the session let us know

We presume the CCP session will last 2 hours or so and after that we need some time to freshen up .So the plan then is go back to the hotel, get freshen up and the meet up for some food before blobbing bar for the final evening fun with good friends, drinks and game.

Why are we doing this ?
Well good question again . This EvE blob event is just for the love of the game and the opportunity to meet gaming friends in real life. Some of us ( me included ) has made some in game and out of game friends and the friendship goes wide beyond just EvE :)and it is a exelent opportunity to get new players into the game :)

Do you make any money of this ?
No not a single dime or £ or ISK . It is done for free and i realy hope you will attend :)

So how do i “ Sign up” ?
Just answer the post with yes or mabe so we have a rough idea how many is coming . Remember it is free to join the event :)

How do i keep myself updated about the event ?
