Woot! Developer forums and Roundtables!
Oh wait... nevermind... 
SO whose at least PLANNING on going???
A majority of fan faire will probably be EQ Based why would you turn up when MxO gets such little attention.
I will manage to be there, but I am not sure I can. It is very difficult to take a leave in companies in Japan. 
With the way SOE has treated MXO lately I wouldn't goto Fan Faire even if they paid me to go.
I'm going because it's a game I like to play. I think there are a few others I know that might go. We have no dev but it just means that the roundtable will either be getting alot of answers or giving alot of grief. It's not like MxO has ever had a huge following at FF anyways. Last year was the largest with almost 30. I know we won't get that many this year. You all can cry and moan but Im sure there will be people that still fork over $ to get an item. If you wanna boycott something that boycott that.
?
If it was in August again I would be able to make, June is a busy month work wise and my weeks vaction doesnt kick in until August.
I was going to go. Never been to Vegas before. But, given the fact I want to move out from my parents house (it is difficult getting used to, after being at uni for 3 years). I don't think I can really account for the several hundred British Pounds it will cost for what will essentially be an extravagant drink fest. Plus, factor in the shoddy exchange rate and its made even worse.
No.
After hearing about last year I was seriously thinking about trying to attend, that is until recent events caused me to decide to save me the trouble of spending that much money on flights, drinks etc..
Yeah, I can't see much happening on the MxO side.
maybe when the agency comes out i'll go :[

You can't have an item without devs.
I'm not going to pay more money to go to a fan faire that doesn't really recognize MxO...i pay money to company who doesnt really recognize the game! why waste more money on nothing!
I booked the end of June off work when i heard last months podcast because i had planned to go, Assuming I manage to get the cash this year I will be going to Vegas to hopefully meet some of the people that I have met through the Matrix Online( <3 Craint ), Not quite sure about the Fan Faire part of it since it seems that there will be nothing related to The Matrix Online this year >_>
@Virrago --- Is there any chance we will see 9MMFU or Dracomet at Fan Faire?
ZOMG! I MUST GO THEY ARE HAVING A HUGE BASH FOR EQ!!! (psssttt....Whats EQ?)
Yea lets see. Go to a fan faire that is gonna be completely focused on 1 game. While we can hope for a small computer to sit in the corner with maybe a small banner. "The Matrix Online"
Rather just save my money.

^ Last years, SOE didnt even tell Walrus or Rarebit that we had one so no demo was on it right away until Walrus called 9mmfu about a demo account he could use.
Since I live in Vegas, I'll be going if only to entertain you guys.
If nothing else, we could all just meet up there and go for drinks.

Please bring me a burrito.
I am sorry but for two years straight I have sat back and seen how we've been treated by SOE each fanfaire. They could not afford us the respect of even a table for a small booth with a poster at least. Did you guys know that even our panel discussions rooms were named incorrectly and some people didnt even make it to some of the discussions because of this. I mean WTH is that?! I am tired of it, and I will be SURE to let them know about it. If you are going to vegas to represent The Matrix Online then we must be as subversive as our favorite movie's are. This is not a celebration, this should be a revolution!
BTW Virrago, I know you work for SOE and look out for their best interests, but can you not feel our pain and support the community and let our voices be heard properly?? Please don't censor us!
It's funny how much changes in a year.
Last year, everyone looked like they had so much fun. I kicked around the idea with Bindi of going to Fan Faire this year, right around the time it ended last year. Now, though? There's no way in hell I'd go.
*edited*
We'll I hope Walrus and Virrago has something planned for the MxO Forum panel that they'd tell us first. No Point in coming if We're just going there to prove "we're still Here!" AND Here I am making the Assasin's Mask mold as we speak while also making the coat for it.

You and the Tusky One DO have something for us being planned out, right?
Not commiting too FF until I see FF commiting to MXO.
Have fun.
And here's a transcript of the MxO Roundtable I brought back from the future.
Players: So Walrus, what do you guys have in store for MxO?
Walrus: Well, I'll turn on the Halloween event around the middle of October.. leave that on till first week of November. Then I'll turn on the Winter stuff mid-December. Then I'll turn that off some time in January... Hmm.. what else.... oh yeah! We'll have our Anniversary next March too!
*crickets*
Well, i couldnt make it last year. But I do think this is the year I will attend.
Prepare for many rounds of shots DEV team.

Virrago, Walrus, Moonlight, and others.
Not "devs" but but very cool people to hangout with.
Who knows maybe SOE will hire or promote someone by then.
Funny that you didn't know what he meant.
I guess the INDIGO LOUNGE will be our next Hang out spot.
unless there's someplace else better somewhere in Bally's

No scavenger hunts! How about something MxO or at least Matrix related. Interesting panel discussions, and how about a BOOTH that says The Matrix Online with actual MXO devs there to meet and greet players? Dracomet and 9mmfu are still part of the team, and so is Walrus. They could be there to speak to us and at least give us some sort of hope for the future....
Whoa, Bally's? My favorite hotel!
Virrago, I will buy a ticket, if there's going to be a Fan Faire MXO game item like last year... However I wont attend to the event.... Can I get the item, if there's going to be one...^^
Thanks

Someone didn't get the joke.
Matrix Online:Thesse are going to be very short panels.In fact this looks to be a direct copy and paste from last year, noting the Fan Faire 2008.Edit: Oh Duh Nevermind. It was meant to be last year.
