He Tweeted it (coyly) and then explicitly stated it in the Reddit thread. Higby will be at PAX East in 2 weeks. I am so fucking excited. I am fucking THERE.

Sadly, SoE has no booths registered nor do they have any panels scheduled.

Maybe we'll have a hobo panel on the sidewalk.

If there's no booth I'm not really sure he would want a mob showing up for him...

Cardboard boxes are too big for carry on luggage.

We have a couple of neat things planned at PAX so for those of you who are going, there is certainly one thing you'll want to try and attend. More details to come.

While we're begging for appearances, a showing at multiplay insomnia in the UK would be very nice. Biggest event over here and happens every 3 months, it grows every time too. I make appearances competing there in various games and benefit from it being in my town every time, not that travelling a few hours anywhere is too difficult here anyway.

Would be awesome to see a showing there and get some groove going on the UK scene. It's pretty fps centric.

I myself feel that uk and europe have been left out in the cold, for the start of planetside2; bet they take our money though :cry: :rolleyes: :cry:

You guys need to show up in replica heavy assault armor from your supported empire :)

Too right. If they make a UK showing I'll be more than happy to help people organise a big meetup. Insomnia is a 3 day event too so fun games, partying and entertainment can be had all weekend.

All round win. If they came over it'd be a 3 day party and we can teach these Americans how to drink properly. I'm sure I've mentioned I'd buy hi by a beer if I could. Free beer Higby!

They might not have a booth but they could be using one of those stages for a presentation on PS2, another demo, etc.

Gonna have a booth/etc for PAX Prime? :)

Honestly Radar, pick an empire already. You cant represent the whole game all the time, you need to show loyality for a faction!

But when you choose, remember: Technology equals might. Never forget that1 ;)

Print a copy of the emblem you want and then go to a tattoo parlor.

PIX are mandatory of the various body parts you get covered.

What about it? I'd bet they will be at E3 for sure it's one of the biggest stages.

Goku

2012-03-25, 04:45 PM

I always thought PAX Prime and East where always seen as more leaning towards PC gamers anyway. I know consoles are at PAX, but E3 just seems to be a major showing for consoles these days.

LZachariah

2012-03-25, 04:48 PM

PAX is just meant for gamers in general. There are massive rooms FILLED with gaming stations wherein everyone is playing. There are tons of talks and guest speakers about the gaming world (including creation, the industry, and where things may be going next). At night, giant cafeteria-looking rooms are filled with people playing board games and tabletop games all night long.

I'm so damn excited, and Planetside 2 will be my main attraction.

As this years round of major game-events and fairs is slowly approaching, I can't help but to get too excited. Too excited for my own good. I can feel the level of enthusiasm getting to "Point of no return" exceedingly fast.

2012-03-28, 12:38 AM

From the PS2 FB page:

"Who's going to PAX EAST next week? PlanetSide2 is!! Creative Director Matt Hgby will be speaking on the "Future of Online Games Panel" Friday at 6PM Main Theater - Be There! http://bit.ly/GU5BMB Keep Checking back for exciting updates!"

Well I'm getting in line about 2 hours early for that.

PS2 is sponsoring a party on Saturday night. Here is a link (http://www.facebook.com/events/256627987763515/). No idea if Higby or anyone else is doing something there or anything else at PAX besides that panel.
