There was an article doing the rounds on the internet last week saying that LAN gaming is dying. It amused me at the time as we had a fairly good feeling that epic.FOURTEEN was well ahead of our previous record of 359 and we can now officially say that, having gone past that number, epic.FOURTEEN is our biggest LAN yet.

And it's not just us, LAN gaming is still increasing in popularity in the UK and beyond. It's not just about playing games on a network any more (which was the point being made in the article with the usual 'who needs a LAN with good internet' stories), it's about the whole experience, social atmosphere, competitive scene and everything else that attracts people to spend a weekend with like-minded gamers and friends. Long may that continue.

On that note though, there's only 37 tickets left, and no more seats will be opened on the seating plan at this point, so that's our absolute limit. We're not going to magically release more seats after claiming we've sold out. So if you want to be there, you really do need to book your tickets quickly, before they all go!
