Well as the 1st eGO member to attend Quakecon (well I feel I am since I never met up with any other eGO members last year), I can easily tell you that I should definitely be there again. I am however saddened that it wont be at the Gaylord Texan again this year. In my mind, we will lose some fan base due to the fact that Quakecon wont be as big as it was last year (we had at least 3 whole convention halls all to ourselves, which gave us plenty of room to brainstorm). No matter, I should hopefully still go. If anyone really is interested in going & wants to stay in a hotel, lets make arrangements to stay in the same hotel, that way we save each other $$. Also someone with video recording capability will be great as videos are so much better than photos.
It's still one of the biggest competetive communites around..
Also, quake live was released and just added onto the player base.
Quakecon isn't just about quake though, it's ID everything and it's a giant lan where you can play any game you want. Always a lot of people playing css, bf2, etc.
Man I love Quake today I live in Australia where we have like hardly any gaming conventions and if their is their always booked out and sell really fast, I hate the gaming experience in Australia!
