z0mg! First post! lolololol! HAI!

*ahem*

I'm just curious, how many people does Respawn get travelling from more than, say, half an hour away? Do you get many from regional cities (eg, Bendigo!) Perhaps any bus loads, or people using public transport to carry their PCs there?

If you were to travel two hours to a LAN, any advice? I have car. Will drive if I have someone to share petrol money with tongue.gif

I myself live in Bendigo. I'm an admin for a 40+ person LAN up here [invite only, sorry folks wink.gif ]. I'm wanting to head down to Melbourne with a few mates for a nice big LAN, so far Respawn looks like the best option. Your answers wont have a bearing on my choices I'm just curious. wink.gif

I'm going to play my 2600km each way trip to melbourne for 2 lans 4ish years ago(hit shafted and another one then drove back 2 days later)
(don't live in Alice Springs(also don't do Alice to Melbourne in 2 days))

We (the crazy Alice Springs people) also did 3 group trips up to the DGA anzac day lan in Darwin though that was only 1500kms each way

So much happier now i only have to travel from Footscray

... Epic.

That's all I need to say.

Also when we talk player limits, size is only one of the variables. There are other issues like Power and safety and such things smile.gif


Power... Bring more people. I'll bring my UPS. Problem solved (for me)!
Hell, I'll be generous. I'll bring an extension lead and run my PC from the toilets!

And safety... Hell, it's a LAN. There's enough biohazards in there to kill a small african nation. 'sif we need to worry about safety tongue.gif

(On a more serious note, I do completely realise why there's limits =) )
