PDXLAN Announces a NEW event type! |
|
Friday, 11 April 2008 |
Over the past few PDXLAN's we have noticed the growing numbers of MMO players wanting to play MMO games while at the LAN. It is for this reason PDXLAN will be doing a brand new type of event. This event should be viewed as separate from PDXLAN, and it is not PDXLAN overflow as "EX" was at PDXLAN 3.
We will be hosting the first "PDXMMO" event July 18-21 2008. This event will seat 80~100 people and be held at the Holiday Inn Ballroom (which is about a 3 minute walk to the Conference Center where PDXLAN 12 will be). Participants of PDXMMO may not play in PDXLAN 12 tournaments, but part of PDXMMO admission will include participation in Contests, Presentations, and Raffles at PDXLAN 12. PDXMMO will NOT be linked to PDXLAN for network / lan gaming, but it will have its own dedicated Comcast Cable Modems dedicated for MMO play online. Participants will be able to host their own LAN Servers at PDXMMO. The PDXMMO event will have 1 dedicated tournament, and it will be World of Warcraft related.
Registration for PDXMMO will go live May 1st (Along with PDXLAN 12.5). If you have more questions, you can ask in our dedicated PDXMMO forums at the PDXLAN Forums.
It should also be noted that PDXMMO and PDXLAN 12.5 will share the Conference Center in November making a 400 person Lan Party, ".5" Style.
