The rules:

Well as we approach mere weeks to epic.TWO we have just 10 seats left with 90 people now paid and confirmed for the event.

We're now well into our event preparations, some of us are working on the pub quiz, others putting together some suitably evil questions for the epic.HUNT and all while getting ready for new venues in 2010!

With an event that's looking to be sold out and a truely epic party to see off such a great LAN venue, this is looking to be one fantastic weekend of gaming!

See you there!

You can now pre-order a selection of caffeinated drinks for the convenience of being delivered right to your desk ready for your arrival at epic.TWO saving you the hassle of carrying even more stuff to the event!

We've chosen a popular selection from the American Soda range including Jolt in various flavours and Mountain Dew. We'll also have a range on sale from the epic.SHOP at the event in single cans.

To order, simply go to your event booking and add the pre-order services.

Pre-ordering will close on Monday 6th July. Orders are subject to supplier availability, if stocks in required flavours become unavailable you will be advised by email on Monday 6th and asked to select an alternative.

80 people have now confirmed their seat for epic.TWO leaving just 20 seats left!

With still nearly 2 months to go before the event, we're well on track for a sell-out, in fact there are 92 provisional bookings for the event in total.

We've also now opened the final two rows at the event to make sure the final 20 people paying can sit as close as possible to friends and clans.

We've introduced a number of improvements to the epic.LAN website that improve both the presentation of information and the booking process. The changes include:

• Addition of an event overview block to the front screen, so you can instantly see the next event and how many people are going.
• Addition of a voucher payment system. This now allows you to buy a ticket (and all the associated services) for somebody else, pick the seat, and then to pass that ticket on to their account. This service is really useful for groups of people attending whether as friends, clans etc. who want to organise their seating and payments all in one go.

Further improvements to the website will be coming soon, watch this space for more details!

If you weren't at epic.ONE or are just salivating for more epic.LAN gaming, we've cut together a promo video to whet your appetite!.

Do you want a piece of this action? If so, all you need to do is book and pay for epic.TWO now and your place will be confirmed! There's just a few days left to secure your place at the special discounted rate of £35, so book now!
