European Elf-Huggers Convention
Everquest Fan Faire comes to Europe
Sony Online Entertainment and French publisher UbiSoft are teaming up to bring the Everquest Fan Faire to Europe next month, complete with medieval marketplace, treasure hunt, falconry display, ersatz minstrels and a "copious" banquet at the end of the evening. Several members of the development team will apparently be on hand to be bored stiff by your dull stories and to answer your inane questions.
The whole event is taking place in and around a genuine 14th Century chateau near Paris on Saturday 15th September, and as many as 1200 people are expected to crawl out from behind their keyboards to attend the event. Registration is $85, and more details of the event can be found on the Fan Faire website. Pointy ears and chainmail optional. Hopefully.
