As you probably know, ML has been having annual events for the past 8 years. What you might not know is that ML is always looking for ways to improve and expand. This year we've been in contact with Lafest (sponsored by Intel). After some late night meetings and getting to know one-another, we've been added as a chapter of Lanfest. This is by no means something trivial, this is a big step for us and gaming in Western NY.
What does this mean for MassiveLAN?
It means…
- Better Prizes
- Better Support
- Better Experience
Since we are now a Lanfest event, our sponsorship is 100% covered. We no longer have to scrape the bottom of the Public Relations barrel and get 2nd-gen hardware and lame periphs. No sir. We also don't have to devote hours and hours of time getting these prizes, and can focus mainly on the gaming portions of our event.
So what's changing? 100% of our entry fee now goes to charity. We're working on deciding what cause we will be benefiting, but that information is coming. It also means some changes to our registration system. All registration will be done on Lanfest's site. If you already paid for this year, don't worry you will be taken care of. You will also be able to purchase tickets for other people, and reserve a seat.
Our event is still our games, our rules, and our experience. Lanfest is just helping us take it to the next level. Take some time to visit them here. We will have registration back online in a few days.
