Respawn LAN Forums _ News _ COVID update, and plans.

Posted by: Zardoz Feb 24 2021, 11:55 PM

Hey. So, we really want to run events again, but this pesky Current Global Event keeps getting in the way.

Our events, especially our large events that we're best known for, take around 3-4 months to bring to live. With lockdowns and changes in COVID conditions happening often with less than 24 hours notice, this places us at high risk with a lot of money on the table. It causes significant inconvenience to a lot of people, and makes it hard on everyone.

So, clearly we need to wait till this whole thing subsides, and it might take a while for that to happen. We thought it was going to be October, and then when it became clear that October wasn't going to be a thing, we decided to wait it out for a few months to see what COVID-normal pre-vaccine looks like, and it's just going to be too risky to pull this off.

Between now and whenever we've all had the jab, we're going to trial some small events. If safe to do so, we're hoping to run small, exclusive events that comply with COVID safety protocols and allow us to expand our foray into esports and broadcast. It's relatively new for us, but it's going to be a lot of fun and something we've wanted to explore more seriously for a while. We don't know exactly how this going to look and budgets will be tight. If anyone has some cool ideas that fit with the above, please get in touch with us - we'd love to work with you!

The other part of this story, is online. Our Discord server. It's full of good keeps who love a yarn and the occasional game or two.

We're currently working on building some game server to tide us over. We'll post details on our socials (and here) when they're up!

Thanks for sticking around and we look forward to LANning with you as soon as we can.
