Hey guys,

Thanks for another LAN. We all really enjoyed ourselves, and we hope you did too.

We appreciate your feedback on how we can improve, so we ask for a brief summary on your thoughts on how we can achieve a better LAN.

We will be conducting an online survey in the coming weeks, and this will also have the door prize attached to it, but in the mean time, let your thoughts flow.

Thanks, and see you on October 9-10!

There were several good things about this LAN compared to the last one.

The reduced number of gamers was welcomed, as there was more room between tables for movement up and down the hall. I think that hall isn't big enuf to safely host a 500 player event.

As I was able to attend on Friday and help set up, I'd like to know who's decision it was to change the max number of gamers from 400 to 450 on Friday night after the tables, power and network had been set up. Sure, we only got 402 overall, but if the extra 50 had showed, there would not have been enuf room for everyone, and still have space for AFK comps.

The pre-pay option was excellent. But I do need to agree with other posts, that the prepay option should've only been available to those in the top 400 registrations. Didn't make it fair to those who got in and registered early.

The decision to limit the number of prepays to 200 is a good decision as well. Allows those without access to electronic payments to still b able to attend the event.

I'm not going to complain about the comps running late, because we all know that there were network issues. I know that gamestah was running his commentary to his site, but I think it was also being multicasted across the entire network. Could this been one of the things causing network issues, or were there other factors involved?

That's all I can think of for the moment, may have more later.

This was my 4th Respawn and the worst not because of the organizers (they do a great job) but all the little babies yelling crap at the top of their voices.

I'm 32 years old so perhaps i'm getting too old but honestly i can remember being 18 and never being that much of a tool. My four friends and I were on the verge of boiling point in regards to the pointless screaming etc. I understand the intensity of gaming and excitement of killing / defeating your opposition and I’ve been known to yell a thing or two myself but I am now (have always been) aware and considerate of the people surrounding me.

I went home around 2am with a splitting headache. and I can say the turkey's sitting around the back corner in the isle / corridor away from the main area you were "THIS CLOSE" to having you keyboards wrapped around your necks. The only reason i didn't was because i "might consider" coming to respawn again and beating 6 little nerds to a pulp would perhaps see me barred from the event.

Just to make it clear who I was the 4th tall fit older guy from the wall in the corner. We warned you or your mates a few times again about yelling "p3n1s" and other shi1t out nothing at all to do with comps nothing to do with gaming nothing to do with anything except lack of maturity and consideration for others.

The overweight chick with the pink or orange dress and awful tatts you repulse me on every level you have the most vulgar and awful tone to your voice, no vocabulary and your were 98.689% responsible for my headache and early departure. You came and sat next to me as your CSS was not working (just to be clear on who you are) If you want to yell penis over and over again stay home....I had brand new headphones on, with the sound up full with Pantera on in the background and you still managed to penetrate and completely pierce my ear drums. Seriously grow up or at the very least make an attempt to consider others.

The guy with the 46" Sony who decided to play Band Hero... your mates were nice guys and you're probably an OK guy overall but honestly try to have some consideration for others, the noise was impossible to block from our headphones and having 3 of you standing with your Bum's against my friends back (for them) was nothing short of annoying again they were very close to boiling point.

Apart from that and some steam related issue's that my friends had I personally had an OK time.

Just some general advice to others...... I have allot of experience in living at festivals, raves, bush doofs and lots of Hiking and camping in remote area’s with small medium and large groups of people etc and the common thread between these events that "Work" and the events that don't work is people not considering their surrounding environment and more importantly people not considering the people around them.

An occasional in game “scream” no worries, after all we are there to play, but keep the volume reasonable.... but the jokers yelling penis for the sake of it stay home.

We are not at school, this is a fun event there is no teacher or for that matter no real security that i could see.... so consider where you are, who is around you and what "cause and effect" will result in your next action....
