Fan Gathering 2014 Review

[iShurik]

Hi Guys!

I just arrived at home after the Fan Gathering in Cologne.
And it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
Thank you guys from Paradox for this great event (and for the beer ). It was extremly nice to meet you and talk to you.
It was also cool to meet other Paradox fans.

I hope all the other visitors had as much fun as I did!

Btw.: I very like the fact, that you are publishing "Pillars of Eternity"!


(And sorry for my "not so good" english at the event, I was a little bit excited... o)

I took the virtual tour and had a great time as well.

Did you get to chat with any Devs? Did Shams run and hide after showing up in his notorious RomeII shirt? Did RedRalph feed anybody spiders?

 

[iShurik]

I actually talked to a lot of people from the Paradox staff, even Johan .
But mostly I talked to "Nusia", because he is working on EU IV and EU IV is my favorite Paradox game atm. Very cool guy (but they all are!)!
It was like a bigger (but not a too big) house party, where everybody was chatting with each other, while drinking beer and eating muffins.
I guess it is noticible from my first post, that I'm ~a little~ hyped. I already thought, that paradox was cool, but after this event I'm absolutely in love with paradox .

Shams didn't hide btw, he wore the t-shirt with pride ; I don't know about the spiders though...

Didn't get to talk to everybody, but i did get the opportinity to have chats with Fred, Johan, Bjorn, Castellon,... Still can't believe how accessible and friendly they are. And they even invited us for the after party, for a beer at their hotel to continue chatting.

Got to talk with RedRalph but didn't see any spiders, with Safferli, with DDRJake and with Quill18, among others.

Not to mention i met for the first time in the flesh, fellow M&T mod team members Myzael, inimicus and Mameluk.


All in all a great great day.

Thanks to everyone at Paradox and all those who participated in making this an awesome evening.

 

[BjornB]

Thank you guys! It was awesome meeting you as well

 

[DDRJake]

I practically got a refund for all my Paradox purchases on the bar tab. 10/10.

I'll join in and also wanna thank you all for a great day. First more or less aimlessly roaming the city with svip, DDRJake, glaivemaster and twohundertseven (because i couldn't make it in time for the Dom and the Roman museum [yea, it's hard having a family... ]), and then of course the great evening with all the others where i got to see Björn again from last year and finally was able to thank Fred in person for sending me that Pdox Kölsch glass two years ago. And of course meeting all the others i met and being able to JUST BE THERE at the press conference for all those awesome games (even without Rome 2 being revealed... )...

THANK YOU!

Hey I also want to say thank you to paradox It was an awesome evening with really nice people(fans and paradox stuff)! I talked to quite a lot paradox members and every single one was very nice and had something interesting to tell. I took picture with a few of them but forgot to take a picture with a really nice costume support person whose name i can't remeber -.-'

 

[IcratoX]

I still get nightmares from that shirt...

 

[Svip]

So great, and yet so many people I missed. I need to bring an Ulm shirt next time.

 

[glaivemaster]

Great time, and so nice to just talk to devs, and of course meet with fellow fans. Everyone's so friendly

 

[gigau]

So great, and yet so many people I missed. I need to bring an Ulm shirt next time.

Yeah, it'd then have been able to spot you and shake your hand !

Myzael, Inimicus, Mameluke and i had planned to come with M&T t-shirts. Unfortunately, the one who took care to have them prepared was out of reach because of real life.... next time possibly...

 

[Twohundertseven]

This was absolutely amazing. I'm so glad that I ended up coming down to Cologne, and if next year's fan gathering is anywhere near you: Make sure you go. Paradox knows how to party.
