Launch Party!

It’s almost launch time for MechWarrior Online… that means… PARTY TIME!!

Much like they did about a year ago with the Nvidia MechWarrior Community Day.. the MWO team is throwing a shindig… and they’re inviting… everyone!  (well, ok, they’re inviting everyone to register to be selected to be invited to the actual event – no estimated number of attendees yet, it’ll be at least 192 for the tourney though).

The party is in San Francisco this time, and unlike last year’s MechWarrior Day at the Nvidia campus in Santa Clara, I’ll not be able to attend – even if selected.  Unless, of course, someone wants to hook me up with a plane ticket?  :P

BUT! If you’d be able to get to San Francisco for a day on September 26th.. you should go!  This is a great chance to meet other MechWarriors, play in a tourney, get some goodies, have a drink or two with the Dev Team.. and generally, have a fun day!

Winners of the tournament last year got Nvidia GTX 680s!  (hey.. speaking of that.. if anyone from Nvidia has a Titan laying around just looking for a use..feel free to send it my way! :P)

Here’s the official announcement:

Greetings, MechWarriors!

We’re extremely happy to announce that we will be hosting a tournament and launch party, September 26th, in San Francisco, California!

That’s not all though, we’re going to be giving residents of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America the chance to come join us! (For our awesome fans around the world, it’s our intention to hold future territory Launch Events next year!)

We’re going to have hundreds of people there, including No Guts No Galaxy, Russ Bullock, Bryan Ekman, and more! We will have lots of fun prizes, challenges, and rewards available.

For those selected, entry is FREE. You will, however, need to get yourself to the event, and all other personal expenses are to be covered by the attendee. There is a Web Registration form here – so if you want to come join us, sign up to apply now!

What would you be in store for?

  • 192 competitors will face off in a series 12v12 matches (details to follow)
    • Teams will be selected by Piranha Games and Infinite Game Publishing
  • Rewards, prizes, and games against Piranha Games devs!
  • Free to play PC’s set up to play MechWarrior Online!
  • An exclusive chance to see upcoming content plans!
  • Food and drinks!

We look forward to your entries and hope to see you there!

Cheers,
The MechWarrior Online Team

 

Clear your calendar, check those plane ticket prices…and head over to the registration page to throw your name in the hat for an invite.

Since I can’t pick up tickets for this time around, I’m hoping that the MWO team will stream at least portions of this event, like they did with last year’s.

If you’re going, have fun!
