DevilsArms
Haha, sounds like a great time you had Walrus.
Bringing up this again (since you spoke with Massive) is there any chance of Ad's outside the US? :p

Hmm, I'm wondering what Dragon9 talked to you about! I wish I could get the chance to ask the juicy questions 
Glad to see you took notes too.
Great writeup about E3, I was scowering the internets for articles about the game. Hopefully some will surface
Also, let us know more about how the trial went!

Cool report, Walrus. I don't suppose you have any pics of the booth, though?
OK you're saying you were at E3 just to sell MXO...
Comon you must have had a play around on the next-gens, so go-on which one is better PS3 or Wii?
Anyway nice report, nice to have you back.
Sounds like it was an enjoyable, if slightly exhausting, experience then Walrus. How many boxes did you take in the first place?
When can we meet the other people involved in the game that helped ya at E3
JoKeRz WILD!!!! :smileywink:
I hope you brought backup, cuz if I catch you alone... it's a wrap.
The gig was apparently up, as Fallen Horizon figured out that one of the demo characters was “NoElves” and met up with me in the Barrens. We chatted a bit during my brief breaks between visitors, but mostly they stood there dancing on the screen for everyone to see. At one point I turned around to see they had all lined up with my character for screenshots, apparently. When I commented that they were a bunch of jokers, Ic3b3rg retorted: “No Jokerz here. They’re all on Vector.” I love our community.
Yea Walrus that was a lot of fun, I hope we entertained the people watching
Sound like it went really well, good to hear!
Haha, feel the power of Metal Gear!!

It also appears that our next-door neighbors turned on
their overhead light system on Thursday, as well. First, I noticed a spinning
logo on the wall behind our demo stations. Turning around, I was greeted by a
blinding light in my eyes until it turned to point the spinning logo on the
front wall. I still have “Konami” burned into my retina as I write this a
week later.
In any case, excellent write-up. I enjoyed reading it.
I'm glad you had a good time and found enough energy to get dragged back into the office.

After that, I did some more wandering and had to plow my
way through the crowd trying to take pictures of Paris Hilton, of all things.
You sunk too low. :smileyindifferent::smileysad:

That would be because of me. I attended E3 and actually met up with Brewko and Walrus. (It's Mave BTW. Remember the guy with the Homer Simpson Hat Walrus?) Interesting time speaking to them about how the game has been doing and what not. Actually met a few MxO players as well. I took pictures of the E3 event, including one with Walrus which I won't post for obvious reasons. E3 was really awesome.
P.S: Walrus, don't forget about my crusade for Boxer Shorts :smileyvery-happy:

so were not allowed to post pics of Walrus?!? (whistles and sneaks away)
Let's see if I can address everything so far:
DevilsArms - Other Side: Yeah, I know I've been slacking on that. Things have been really busy. I plan on doing one this week so I can talk about the patch coming next week. 'tis a big one.
jeffers - Euro Ads: That's actually not up to Massive. I'd like to get real ads into the game for our non-NA players, but don't have much control over it. On the other hand, we did talk about options such as player-made ads and giving them copies of the original ads to host.
QforQ - Dragon9 Conversation: His Faction (Trinity) is on Vector and they have some issues with CR2.0, along with a desire for more events and questions about what's in store for the game. Mostly, though, it was a discussion about CR2.0.
QforQ - Free Trial: So far, the free trial has been really good for us. Latecomers still have some time left, so we'll see how many stick. At the very least, we certainly gave MxO a lot more visibility.
RemagDiv - Booth Pics: I don't have any myself. I'll see who else on the team has any and will post them when I can.
mitez - PS3 or Wii: Two words: Long lines. I considered going and seeing them, but PS3 wasn't a hands-on and the Wii line was wicked long. I didn't have that much time, so decided to do more browsing than in-depth investigation.
RockyB - # of Boxes: I believe we had something like 200 boxes on hand.
QforQ - Other People @ E3: If you're talking about demoing, then Dan = Brewko. So you've already met him. If you're talking about other people on the CRM team, all you have to do is visit other forums to meet them--they're all on other SOE games.
Aquilae - Paris Hilton: I didn't say I was fighting the crowd to see Paris. I was just trying to get out the freaking door! lol
eroz - Seasonal Depression: No, actually I like Seattle in the winter. After 5 years of Detroit winters and many more in Columbus, it's actually nice here. My comment was more related to a good time to visit Austin. Ever been to Texas in the summer? Yeesh!
SimpsonsNerd - Pics: Yep, nice to see you on the forums. I'm actually surprised no photos of me have ever appeared on the forums (that I know of).
SimpsonsNerd - Boxers: You never give up, do you?
I'm determined to go to the next Fan Faire and meet everyone! It'd be awesome to meet MxO players in person, I'd love to meet tons of people here
Columbus isn't that cold..the weather is just weird. One day it's sunny and hot, the next it's snowing.

When will update notes for next week's patch be available?
So whats your choice of coffee then Walrus?
hehehe aether did he miss us?
(aether= the old dev back from beta-before transition to soe)
That sounds great about the ad's (I hope it happens) 
Cheers Walrus.
Cheers Walrus.
Sounds like a good time was had by all.
Hopefully, I'll be able to score a pass to the next one...
So, if someone wants to take me along, I'd love to go.
I can fold into a convenient carry-on size.

A very nice summary, seems like everything worked out very good.
I wonder if I ever will attend to E3, seeing as it is so many thousands of miles away... :smileysad:
I can just imagine the folks from Massive...
"They want MORE ads?!? Um... Yeah. We can do that."
Nice to get the word out that we are still around.
Cheers!

I have a pic from the event. I'll post it if you don't mind but knowing these MxO addicts, they'll hunt you down at a market or something.
SimpsonsNerd - Boxers: You never give up, do you?
No. I'm dead serious. I've been PvPing naked in protest. Just ask people on Recursion about Mave the Pale Punter (a new nickname I JUST made up for myself.) We need Boxers Walrus....We need them bad.....I need them bad...... Remember to click my sig for details :smileytongue:
Hehe I can dig up the old picture of Walrus from when he worked at Wizards of the Coast Post the E3 pics man, now!
Post the E3 pics man, now!Fallen Horizon FTW!!!
Heh, there was more in that report about you hanging out with people then about the Game....
Sounds awesome Walrus! I wish I could have come but I'm still in school and all. I hope more people get the game from that now!
Awesome write up Walrus, once again you do MxO proud.
Euro ads... one day :smileysad:
Although i did have them for like 2 days, any idea why that was?
SimpsonsNerd - Pics: Yep, nice to see you on the forums.

ah, had to post this after that pic of walrus, with the screen behind him
ugh, i was taking this shot
Oh bah. I wish I was old enough to go to E3. It would have been amazing! I can't wait to go once I'm older.
Two rules to E3.
1. 18 and older.
2. Prove that you work for a business who works for the Gaming Industry and some way.
Or Mave's Method: Find someone who does work there, get a special pre-approved invite, attend with a business that is registered (I run a comp company) and BAM! Entry. Yes I know, I am teh pwn. I'll post my E3 pics up later. I even have one with Brewko... *dun dun duuuun*

Put em up right away! Can't wait man. I was really disappointed to see that pretty much no sites had pics of the SOE booth.

Only reason is because of the PS3 and the Wii. PS3 is cool. The Wii on the other hand disappoints me.
Sorry but I want to play Video Games not look for Comedy Central on DirectTV. Nintendo....tsk tsk tsk....For shame...
