We are pleased to annouce ‘Fright Night’, a themed night dedicated to all things that go bump in the night, with spooky music, hellish games and devilish fun! 

On the Friday at epic.SEVEN we will be transforming the Gaming hall into the undead’s idea of paradise. The spooky games we will be playing include CSS Zombie mod, ScreamFortress 2, and The Hidden. Fancy dress is optional, but may win you a little prize!  

With this annouced and the full timetable expected later this week, now's the perfect time to book your seat and ensure that you don’t miss out on what will surely be an epic.LAN!

Some time ago we announced that we would be moving our forums away from PHPBB2 and on to a new system. We can now confirm that the forums will be hosted using Invision Power Board (IPB), a platform that many of you will have seen on sites such as autosport.com and neowin.net.

Work is still ongoing to integrate the new forums into our website and ensure that we migrate as much data as possible. We'll also announce more details about some of the IPB features we'll be using over coming weeks.

All of your accounts and forum posts will be moved over to the new platform, however we are unable to get the Private Messaging data to transfer over due to the age of current system.

We'll give you plenty of notice before the actual switchover, but in the mean time if you have any useful info you need to keep from your PM history, then you may want to back it up locally before we do move over.

In 2010 we hosted a number of community workshops which gave people an opportunity to discuss epic.LAN's development with the management team and hear about some of our plans for the future.

Out of those workshops came features such as our advanced profiles, loyalty scheme and referral scheme; they also gave an opportunity to discuss the introduction of our new tournaments.

The workshops will be back again at epic.SEVEN, and will be open to any of the event participants. We would encourage you to join in and have your say about what we do next and for us get your feedback on where we go in the future.

We've had a number of recent changes to the epic.LAN staff team due to holidays and other committments.

Firstly, Saboo will be stepping down as our event team leader due to work committments and Hg will take place leading that team from epic.SEVEN onwards.

We also welcome the familiar faces of Matthab, Raz and Rizzo to the event team for the next event. We are currently working on our COD4 team too and hope to be able to announce details shortly.

Good luck to Hg and all of the new members of the team!

We've been asking around the current community and the competitive scene trying to find a new tournament game to introduce to epic.LAN and we've had loads of emails and requests to add Call of Duty 4 in to our tournament series.

So, we're going to deliver for epic.SEVEN with our first £1000 Call of Duty 4 tournament!

Our little LAN, elite5 in November, sold out in just over 48 hours earlier this week! Our epic.lite events, are smaller community gatherings, with just 32 places and always extremely popular.

If you missed out, but still want to attend, you can either:

• Come along and join in the fun as a spectator, we have a limited number of spectator passes available for the weekend.
• Join the waiting list for participant places. Make sure you sign up to the event (it wont let you pay), and you will be contacted first if any places arise, but you'll have to be quick if any places do appear as they also go quickly!

In the mean time, we still have plenty of spaces left for our September Alton Towers Trip and our last main event of the year, epic.SEVEN at the end of October.

Well we're finally rid of Nivek, we've dispatched him off to Germany for Gamescom for a look around to see what's up and coming in the gaming world and to get some ideas for our future events.

Do you think he realised they were one-way tickets...? Ahh, where is the love!

Anyway, have a read of his day one (but actually day three) diary!

Do you want to be a part of one of the UK's most exciting LAN events?

Due to some staff holidays for epic.SEVEN, we need to add to our staff team for the event and also hopefully to stay with us for future events in to 2012 as we continue to grow.

If you think you've got what it takes to be a part of our event team, then please do send us a few details about yourself, your background, why you'd like to be on the team and what you think you can add to our events and we'll be in touch!

Deadline for applications is Monday 29th August.

As epic.SIX fades into a distant, but awesome, memory, it's time to turn our focus towards epic.SEVEN already. The gap between epic.SIX and SEVEN is one of the shortest in our LAN calendar, meaning our last main event of the year is just under 11 weeks away!

Now we really want to see some good numbers for our last event of the year, so if you enjoyed epic.SIX go and and tell everybody! And remember if you bring entirely new people, then you get a £5 voucher to spend on future events.

As usual, our early booking discount is available, also giving you £5 off your tickets if you book before 6pm 1st September, what are you waiting for? Book Now!
