I've always wanted to be a quadrupedal mammal of the equine-esque variety with powers of telepathy & a horn used to impale those who do wrong.

Alas I have to wait for the next life.

I was planning to visit at least one EVE fanfest, but never made it due to various reasons, mostly RL commitments. Something similar would be nice to have here too, although I suppose that it would end in the same way for me.

Nothing prevents me to imagine David, Michael and the rest of the ED crew in music vid like this, though :D

A bunch of people I know are going to EGX at Birmingham in September.
Given the profile Frontier had there last year, it would be safe to assume this is as close as we would get to an unofficial fan gathering outside of LaveCon.

The current game has no ingame tools to make communities/guilds or player owned interests - I think a fanfest would be socially as boring as the game it's self.

Elite Dangerous does need better in-game tools for socialization like chat-rooms, guilds, player owned stuff. Right now there's not enough ways for players to have intimate virtual bonding. Four players per wing isn't much either.

Eve Online is very player driven and very social with large scale player-managed corporations. It has much player cooperation and competition. Players build and destroy most things in that game. That's what has made their fanbase so strong and loyal.

When Elite Dangerous has better in-game tools for social interaction, then players will form stronger bonds, friendships and more inclined to meet each other in real life at an Elite Fanfest.

That's not the only way to get a loyal fan base - there are many games with no such tools with large followings. The trouble with putting it all in the hands of the players like that is they have their own idea of where the story is going - and full out faction on faction war isn't the intent. There are other ways for people to be involved than banging heads against each other

Fine - let Fdev choose the path of no ingame tools for "real" player ownership, choice, socialization or freedom...

Lets see where this takes it...


My reckoning is not far.


I picture an Elitefest full of old balding men in checked shirts that are strategically hanging over their waist bands, that wouldn't want to get CRAZY, get dressed up and be weird - down to the lack of ingame tribalism chasing all the fun people away...

Chicago or Boston would be the most convenient for me, but it'd be nice enough to have an excuse to get over to London.

Anything is better than Vagus though. I hate that place with a passion.
