Ive read this whole post but i have one question why was the registry changed from 500 back to 400
im suprized no one had asked

also how come the respawn fee has increased 2 35 dollars now

from the prepay faq

and as far as dropping seating back to 400? Simple matter of OH&S, and was becoming far to cramped and was becoming a safety issue.

What happens if you are the 400th person register and then some one whos out side of the 400 pays? does that auto kick the 400th person to 401?

Prepay beats confirmed beats registered beats nothing.

If you prepay, you get bumped to the top of the list, followed by people who have confirmed, followed by non-confirms.

Order of registration is maintained within the categories.

zz, so if i have no access to paypal i could very well lose my spot.

paypal is far from hard at all to access

have any sort of bank account, and its accessible

unless you dont have a bank account

maybe work on that one

i am 12 and what is this

Really?

When I was 12, I had the full support of my parents with these sorts of things. Perhaps you could ask them nicely if they can help?

Make sure you confirm when confirmations open. We'll be sending you an e-mail to advise when this happens as we may be making a few changes to the process between now and then to ensure that our confirmations list is as accurate as possible.

The issue we've had in the past is that players will register, confirm and then not show up - so the person who is 401 on the list COULD have turned up however since, as far as we knew, there was no seat for them, we effectively tell them they couldn't rock up. Then comes Respawn morning and we wonder where the 120 or so people who said they'd come are.. and we go home on Sunday night with a bunch of pre-printed player tags with your names of them.

Maybe we should shame these guys, too?

We might make some changes to accommodate this however at this current point in time, pre-pay will beat everything. If you pre-pay, you're IN. You're CONFIRMED. Once we verify your payment, of course.

We have raised the price to $35 to cover us on all angles here. Nobody is making a profit out of this - we're certainly not getting paid - and remember, the more money we have, the better and bigger things we can do for the community in the future.

Trust us Amazing things are in the pipeline.

No BLUR comp? =(

Z,

Are you not getting sick of repeating yourself?

umm, if over 400 people pay, what happens then?

btw zartos, didnt read what u had to say, xbox girl made everything quite clear.

I think I read somewhere that the pre-pay cap is 200 (EDIT: dead_man stated this in his post on page 1 of this thread), so as long as you confirm within the 2nd 200, you should be ok.

So 200 people who register after the first 400 can buy themselves seats if they spam paypal and people who wasted their time on thursday night might get f all? May as well get rid of register number and just have seats available to buy.. like how most events are run...?

Sorry.. all this has made me upset.. plus I missed being in top 400 because server crash..

Hi B3NN,

Unfortunately we've been subject to financial risk by our high amount of no-shows caused by people registering and not showing up to the event.

My advice to you is to either pre-pay, which will guarantee you a spot or alternatively, ensure you confirm immediately when confirmations open.

-z.

Man I'm happy I got a Paypal account otherwise this prepay business would really make me sad

ahh ok thats fair enough
still disapointed on the pay rise but o well its respawn where its always awsome to be there

Unless you're being sarcastic... I think you missed the internet-joke-boat.
Anyway, this thread has been a laugh... thanks 'Razer' guy.

PS: Heard of selling unwanted prizes? Perhaps on this cool thing known as Ebay?
Maybe that's too hard.

What ever was I thinking?!
