Q&A Continued:

Q. Is there limited space at this?
A. There is. right now we are at about 1/2 capacity for invites, so act fast!

Q. Will there be developers there?
A. Absolutely. We are bringing two of our Atlanta EVE Online developers with us.

Q. Will there be drinks?
A. Definitely! You'll just have to attend to find out the extent of this answer.

Q. Will you have swag?
A. Working on getting some stuff there. Not going to promise right now, but we do have something special for those who attend.

Q. I have a question that isn't on here. Can I troll you in this thread to get you to answer it?
A. Yes. Trolling goes a long way on these forums if you haven't noticed! I am no exception.

Q. Do I need to have a ticket to PAX to come to this?
A. Absolute not! If you are in the area and an active player. Feel free to drop us a mail.

Q. Can I bring a friend with me?
A. The email you send is good for one person. Please have your friend(s) send us a mail as per the instructions above. If you show up with a group of people to get in, we'll have to turn them away. As much as we would love to let everyone who comes in the door, the space will not accommodate it and we would really like to restrict this to EVE Online players.
