The Arena

The event was held in Feria de Valencia. Two floors reserved were divided to different sections (pabellón). Two of the main sections housed the main gaming and creative areas. These were then divided to four different "corners" that were assigned to different topics; Astronomy, robotics, simulators, music and video editing etc.

 

Two of the lowest sections were filled with tents. There weren't that strict rules on where one could sleep but most visitors preferred these tents over the futon under the table.

Booths

Booths from sponsporing companies are a familiar sight in every LAN event. From these, companies try to promote their latest products and bring the company name visible. Some use pretty girls to push their products while others make product demonstrations and hand out little gifts.

When there are over 8000 participants, handing over corruption gifts can be quite a task. When there is a rumor that one company started to give out something on their booth, people start to race there as a huge mass. One has to be careful not to trip and fall as this mob tries to get their hands and the items. Usual items this year were t-shirs with Velcro letters for customization, keychains, pens, USB Memory sticks and bags.

There were a lot of different game tournaments held in the arena. Here is a rundown of the different games that were played:

  • Counter Strike 1.6
  • Comand & Conquer
  • Quake 4
  • Counter Strike Source
  • World of Warcraft

  • Catering

    Catering in the event was handled by Irco. There were three meals served each day; Desayuno (breakfast) 8:00 to 10:00, Comida (lunch) 14:00 to 16:00 and finally Cena (dinner) 20:30 to 23:00. Visitor could buy a ticket with or without the meals and from the comments from the visitors, it was hard to decide which option was better one. Some people loved the food and some didn't that much. For example one visitor commented: "Yes, you can go and ask for more but only ask for the beef as the spaghetti is reserved for wall construction material...".

    For the most parts, the foods served were "safe foods" that should be eatable by majority of the people in the world. Spaghetti, rice, potatoes, meat, fish etc. For those that didn't fancy the catering food had an option to eat at the Telepizza booth, sandwitch bar or at the cantines inside each section of the event hall.
