If you've never been to an SOE Fan Faire before, you've been missing out! Fan Faire is a great place for SOE gamers to mix and mingle with each other and meet some of the faces behind their favorite SOE games. Here's just a taste of some of the great stuff we're planning:

  • In-game tournaments
  • Live, game-themed tournaments and quests
  • A costume contest
  • Lots of social activities, including a Kickoff Reception, a Grand Banquet and a VIP Party with live entertainment
  • Sneak peaks at SOE titles currently in development
  • The 2nd Annual Community Address from SOE President John Smedley
  • Developer forums and roundtables

 And that's just the beginning! No matter which SOE game you like to play, Fan Faire will be a blast! Even if you're not an SOE gamer, we encourage you to join us and bring your friends!

Passes will go on sale later this Spring, but you can book your hotel stay now! The Las Vegas Hilton is currently accepting reservations at the discounted Fan Faire rate of just $139 per night. Just call (800) 635-7711 and tell them you're with Sony Online Entertainment, booking code SSOE8 or click here to make online reservations. Space is limited – so get your room soon, in case they sell out!

Hope to see you in Las Vegas!

Watch for passes to go on sale and other Fan Faire announcements on the Fan Faire site.

Confirmed at last! SMILEY

However, er... booking through the hotel's own system (which I tried a few hours ago) was a lot cheaper than SOE's 'discounted' rate. Now the rates have jumped up.

The standard rate at the moment (though I could swear it was less a few hours ago) is $145. >_>

Funnily enough, I've just checked their website again just now (their normal one and the link above) and you can't book over that weekened now normally, which is funny as I have a reservation on a classic room for $79.95 a night because I reserved yesterday* SMILEY<img src=

So basically if you're wanting to go to the event, you need to book using the above website link provided by Virrago or you can call them, you can't get the rooms standardly now (so much so that they've made the prices daft at $795.95 a night and all Saturday is now magically sold instantly)

 

*gotcha! It's only ever been $139 a night

Oh yes, did I mention that if you share rooms the prices get stupidly cheap...?

USD 209.00 a night for 4 people sharing... SMILEY

I haven't heard if  they're offering a clan discount again, but if they are, it'd be neat to get the community together under one banner, since there are so few of us who will probably be going...

... That said, I hope to be there this year.

   MxO's on the front page of an SOE site?  Doesn't that equal an epic fail for SOE?
