Due to some changes in hotel choices for Fan Faire the poll has been changed. Alas when changes are made to the polls the current votes are reset. Instead of resetting the current poll we have a brand new poll for you to vote on.

We love seeing the enthusiasm here in votes and we apologize for the inconvenience running a new poll may cause, however it is only fair to give you the chance to select your favorite date and location from the new choices.

Whilst this isn't exactly EQ2 news, it is always nice to know what our SOE people are up to.  And let's face it, it's a lot more interesting than Britney's latest meltdown!

In this case, John Smedly (or Smed as we all affectionately call him) will be delivering the keynote speech at the ION Conference in May!

Yay Smed!

Hey there Fan Faire Fanatics!!

Everyone's favourite event looms rapidly on the horizon. It's like Halfling Christmas with giant jugs of jumjum juice, only better. It's our chance to party down with all of the SOE folks who make our favourite game possible and let them know how much we appreciate them. Naturally it is of vital importance to us all to find out where we'll be congregating and when, this year.

Check out all the info here!!

Vote early and vote often! Well, okay not often... just make sure you vote!!!

Hope to see everyone there this year!
