Carl Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Voted for London, hopefully going to be attending next year. US isn't really an option. RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star. Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 US is just so expensive but I would love to visit there. Rather have RuneFest in UK though because I'm more prepared in the money department. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamtaro Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Oh boy, four locations I would never travel to :thumbdown: . Maybe if it were held in Michigan, Ohio, or western Pennsylvania I'd go, so I'm not going to bother voting. Also, it's more like 300m US + 35m Canada vs. 700m Europe, not just 60m UK, so London will likely win. Player since 2004.

highlanders Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 UK had runefest 2 times already, yet the player base from UK is small. Time to give other countries a chance. Uggh, don't be selfish, British players! You already had it twice in a row, give us 'Murrikans a chance! U-S-A! U-S-A!Selfish... perhaps. But then here in the UK we don't have TemleCon or Total Confusion or ConnCon, Intercon, Havoc, Vericon, Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East, OGC, Huzzah, Carnage, DexCon, Fall In!, Historicon, I-CON, MEPACon, PrinceCon, UberCon, World Boardgaming Championships, Arcon, Council of Five Nations, Queen City Conquest, A&G Ohio, Bashcon, Con on the Cob, D&D Experience, Games Day, Gaming Hoopla, Gary Con, Geek.Kon, Gen Con, Marcon, Marmalade Dog, MichiCon, Origins Game Fair, Penguicon, PentaCon, StarCon, U-Con, WinterCon, Winter War, Wolfcon, Masquerade Society, Gamicon, Fields of Honor, Nuke, Con of the North, Gamer's Reunion, Bayou Wars, CharCon, Con Carolinas, DragonCon, Euro Quest (EQ), Heat of Battle, MACE, Mini MACE, MAGFest, MegaCon, Momocon, PeliCon, [southern Front], Stellarcon, SynDCon, Trinoc*con, Waterloo, Winter Activation Meeting (WAM), CoastCon, Hypericon, MidSouthCon, MOBICON, Tennessee Game Days, Chattacon, PlayOnCon, [gamecon Memphis], Texicon [1] General Gaming Convention, ScrewAttack Gaming Convention (SGC), BGG.CON, TrollCon, Phoenix Vul, GEEX Show, NeonCon, BlizzCon, DunDraCon, Celesticon, E For All, Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), GameStorm, Games Day, Gamex, Gateway, Kublacon, Enfilade, MineCon, Northwest Pinball and Gameroom Show, OrcCon, [Pacificon Game Expo], Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) Prime, RadCon, Science Fiction and Fandom Convention or Pasco...Nice copy paste.

Mercifull Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Took a lot of effort stripping out the cities they were in and removing them out of bullet points into a comma'd list. How do you know what the player base in the UK is? Do you have access to the Jagex client list? What about other European players, they are even further from the USA?

Pure population isn't the main point here, it's sheer amount and location of rs players. And it ignores the fact of language barriers and international travel for a minor laws that restrict european travel. Plus international travel is more expensive than domestic. All of US can be traversed reasonably cheaply as its all domestic. Traversing europe is likely to cost more (unless you drive it but then petrol costs!) as its international travel.I mean we had a college trip to France/Belgium front lines staying in a youth hostle, 2 nights using the eurostar (on a coach) and we had to pay like £255 EACH and thats with college subsidising it as its educational.

Fire_Hawk154 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I don't understand the poll. 90% of the players that vote will probably not attend RuneFest anyway... <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaida23 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If it were in NY next year then I might consider it, anywhere else just isn't an option for me sadly.Same here, and even NYC would be a stretch on the old budget. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that pre bot nuke there were dedicated worlds for so many European countries surely should prove that there is a huge player base outside of the USA.

I'm not arguing for the USA (or anyone else) here, if that's how I'm coming off. RuneFest wouldn't be my cup of tea to begin with, even though Chicago is only 5 hours away (by driving) from me (and even that would be too far).

firebird308 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 None of the locations get my vote. They're all too far away for the expense to be worth it.

lordkafei Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Meh to all the choices. They should just take an antipodal approach and have the thing in New Zealand.

Fresi Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 So many here forgetting the reset of Europe, omg not everyone who plays on this side of the world are in the UK.I agree that we have had it 2 years now, and maybe it is time for US to get and chance. (all those events that have been posted that happen in the us, we do have plenty of similar happenings in Europe, example dream hack, the WORLDS larges digital festival that is being held in Sweden 2 times every year)That aside, I voted for Londong, as i have already stated, I realywant to go next year, but im not going to a America for it. would even be more interested if it was in Africa (ore south america :ohnoes: ), getting to see something else than city after and before the feast X) edit: NY in the lead, if ure supriced, err consider that when the poll got posted, it was in the midle of the night for the guys over there, or morning depends on where in the us :S Dyslexia lvl 99, Youtube:3D RS, My 3D on Tif, My Runetrack, My Tif Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
