I'm actually waiting to hear back from Gaile and martin kerstein about setting something up middle of the year

Stop The Storm · Jan 03, 2008, 01:32 AM // 01:32

no because it would be full of idiots lol

Where would you ideally like it to happen?
Well, somewhere that lots of people have access to, I don't want it to be me, some 13 year old and a creepy old guy the only ones who turn up.
What kind of events do you expect/want?
IRL 9 ring game!
What kind of prizes/loot/schwag do you expect/want?
Minipets I guess, maybe some weapon skins? The BMP? Oh and signed copies of things.
What kind of merchandise do you expect want?
Everything! Shirt, cushions, posters, pictures, toys, statues.
Would there be a band or a DJ? If so who?
Probably someone from a power metal band, that or some pop trash
Would there be cosplay?
YES!
Would you cosplay!?
YES!
Would you tell people who you were in game? :O
Maybe.

But is there really enough people to have a Guild Wars only con? Maybe an NC-Soft con is more realistic.

I probably would go if it were in the city, but then I'd have to lie about where I was going to people I know.

shrouded^god · Jan 03, 2008, 02:04 AM // 02:04

Id go if it were relatively close.

bart · Jan 03, 2008, 02:31 AM // 02:31

wouldn't it be funny if a real GW con was held and ppl went there and started shouting "WANT TO SELL ETERNAL BLADE FOR 200 bucks!"

Aera Lure · Jan 03, 2008, 02:44 AM // 02:44

I probably wouldnt go. There wouldnt be enough diversity I wouldnt think for a convention to be just Guild Wars. Having a hard time imagining what there would be to do.

Tender Wolf · Jan 03, 2008, 03:00 AM // 03:00

Depending on where it was, sure. But of course I'd have to convince someone to give me a ride...lol

Roderick Bravehart · Jan 03, 2008, 04:53 AM // 04:53

I am the biggest Guild Wars Nerd. Hurrah.
I would get in my Jeep and drive to Europe if I had to. Conventions usually mean free stuff and/or free food and lots of cool stuff anyways. I just can't resist the addiction to game.

Well, if there ever is one, look for the idiot dressed as Warmaster Grast because he drove across the Atlantic to get there.

Biostem · Jan 03, 2008, 04:56 AM // 04:56

If it was relatively close, had actual events, (and not just some guys dressed up singing stupid parody songs about GW), and if there was more out-of-game stuff to warrant a GW-con.

In other words, I don't want to go to a con to see very amateurish stuff and watch people sitting in a packed hall playing - there has to be stuff to do.

If there were devs there, a good collection of GW merchandise, and some cool stuff, then sure I'd go...

So i guess the question is....would you ever go to one if they held one?

you have too much time on your hands, or not enough to do at work.

Pleikki · Jan 03, 2008, 12:21 PM // 12:21

I would go if i would be boored and it would be near me .. Like my bedroom.

Turtle222 · Jan 03, 2008, 12:46 PM // 12:46

I'd Go there if they had a model that represented Jora. She would have to be 12 Feet tall at least ^^ and not ugly

RLBadKarma · Jan 03, 2008, 01:43 PM // 13:43

Where would you ideally like it to happen?
Kansas City or St. Louis, easy to get to for everyone.
What kind of events do you expect/want?
SNOWBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of prizes/loot/schwag do you expect/want?
Exclusive mini's are always good. Maybe a wink from Gail.
What kind of merchandise do you expect want?
Everything! If it has Guild Wars on it, good enough for me.

ZenRgy · Jan 03, 2008, 01:47 PM // 13:47

Hell yes.

I'd run around cosplayed as my necro and introducing myself screaming my character name, and I'd totally get involved and organise fun things like trivia and Prince Rurik impersonation/quoting contests and a big real-life sync wamo dance! And then we'd make a big replica of the HoH chest and give out random goodies to people in the crowd!

It'd be ever so grand!

Avai · Jan 03, 2008, 02:35 PM // 14:35

I think it would be a good time if the below conditions were met. I bet I could get my whole guild to come.

I don't think we would have to worry about the people mentioned in the quote below. Those people likely are not independent and would be unable to attend even if they wanted to!

Would I meet these people in real life willingly? Hell no.

No I would not. My homeys would approve of that outing, and I never go anywhere without my homeys.
