Next LAN brainstorming

[skandertayebi]

Prague would be sick, cheap locations and cheap beer

[Timurid]

how about east cost USA? will definitely join if a LAN happens in USA.

[dicktator_]

east coast usa sounds good to me

[Interjection]

Man, I'd love to do a post Covid NWC2

[fightinfrenchman]

Well after covid obviously. And location i feel there's a consensus of someone in europe, specifically prague?

I was thinking Lancaster tbh ngl

[Podawe]

Why don't we just start pooling and saving up for one big awesome LAN tourney rather than having a bunch of smaller tournaments? Tbh it was the LAN tourney that brought me back to the game because it seemed like the game was really having a reawakening.

Also I'm all for having it in East USA. Although the US is like a post-apocalyptic warzone right now so I wouldn't recommend it at this junction...

Lancaster, PA is perfectly safe, and we're currently in the "yellow phase" so we'll probably be good to go by the time we can organize a LAN

[Riotcoke]

Problem about having it in the us is there's less players in the US. Really having it in Europe is honestly the only feasible way if you don't want to break the budget

[deleted_user]

If you take a function of players that incorporates administrative efforts then the LAN should be held in NA. If you take a function of players that incorporates money raised for charity then the LAN should be held in Lancaster, PA.

What about NL? Super cheap flights/trains for people in Europe, easy to move about once you're in the country and it has a major international airport about an hour away from anywhere in the country. Loads of smaller towns/cities with good bars/student life cheaper than Amsterdam too.

ITT 'actually we should do it in my country'

Problem with western europe is the cost of accomodation. @Interjection and the guys at escape can proably testify with the price of hotels etc for the last lan. Dam is also just more expensive as a whole than prague.

Although I did look at some of the AirBNB prices over the off season (I.e not summer) and the price for a large house, for like 16 people which i feel is a good way to host a lan maybe, is actually not that expensive, at like £50 a night per person.

Does it have to be in a major city though? Taking NL as an example, could you fly into Leiden but hold the lan in a town nearby rather than in a major city?

Agree, just go out to the boonies a bit

Though maybe we wanna bar hop after the events

Lancaster has cheap rural areas all around while still having a fun and thriving downtown area

The funny thing is another LAN would be a great opportunity to travel, which is something I want to do, and yet I'm still lobbying to have it be held as close as possible

Good thinking Chris! Leiden is a small enough town to find somewhere cheap. AND its got a nice nightlife with more girls than the average university.

You sort of want a big city though, half of the fun is going out in the evening, like that's the one thing that was sort of lacking with the NWC lan, it was in like a town next to manchester, not in manchester itself.

There's lots of great places to go out at night in Lancaster, PA

Okay enjoy your week ban

I'm wondering... Is there any Wildwood there ?

It's a couple hours away, which generally isn't worth driving if you're only going to be there for like 11 hours

I believe most Europeans already kinda agreed on Prague as the optimal place. Huge international airport, relatively cheap accommodation and other expenses, great sightseeing/nightlife possibilities

Also, for those brave people from further abroad, there are also the perks of being in central Europe - meaning that afterwards you can easily visit other European countries for relatively cheap and fast, too

All of these apply to Lancaster, PA as well
