European Fan Faire cancelled at last minute
Were you planning on going to the Fan Faire in Paris? Well, I hope you bought cancellation insurance or you may find yourself spending a lot of money for nothing. Personally, I think this is a pretty lousy thing to do to the fans who have pre-booked air, train and ferry fair, hotels, etc., taken off vacation time, and made plans to meet friends. C'est la vie. Did you expect otherwise?
Here's Sony's official announcement without the advertisements:
Sony Online Entertainment and Ubi Soft today announced the postponement of the European Fan Faire. Our European community of EverQuest® players has seen much growth in the past year and we are excited about all of our initiatives in this market and beyond. While we regret the delay in bringing what has been an incredibly successful and one-of-kind event in the U.S., we know that all of our international initiatives will enhance the player experience, increase our international fan base, and lead us overseas in the coming months.
We want to thank all of the fans who had planned to participate in this inaugural event and will be sending a full refund in addition to a special gift from our Fan Faire team. While we are disappointed that we cannot meet you next month, we hope that our presence in Europe continues to grow. We will be able to better serve you by postponing this event to a more suitable time and place for everyone. We apologize for any inconvenience.
