Try these top ten things to do at Fan Faire! From the monk boards:

I read through the SoE generic list of stuff and thought it pretty underwhelming. Honestly, that seems like a pretty rubbish way to spend your time if you trek halfway across the country for an event. I decided to compile my own more realistic list.

10. Heckle Developers: They never listen to you, anyways, right? Well, here's your chance to make yourself heard! Shout insults like "chickenlegs" at them while they're giving talks, whipping the crowd into a frenzy. Bonus points for rioting.

9. Hire an Escort: Everyone knows women don't play EQ. This is an undisputed fact supported by multiple scientific studies. If you hire an escort from one of the many services in Las Vegas and register her at Fan Faire, you'll be the coolest person there. Make sure to give her an awesome roleplaying name like Wyndbayne or something to ensure she sticks out as a true anomaly.

8. Attempt to Poach Members From Rival Guilds: What better time to attempt to get strong apps than when meeting them face-to-face? In the case that the guild leader of the guild you are attempting to poach from gets indignant, make sure to escalate the conflict by calling him a loot whore and a horrible leader.

7. Mess With EQ Drunks: Walk into a bar crowded with EQ Fan Faire-goers and shout "Breakneck hoists an arm back, preparing to lob a weighted mallet in your direction." and watch as everyone screams and ducks, spilling their drinks and causing a general panic.

6. Live Action Quests? More like Live Action Duels...: Bring your weaponry to the lobby for a no holds barred best of the best! Once the lobby is sufficiently coated with the blood of the weak and slow, there will be only one survivor who will be crowned the Best of the Best of the 10th Anniversary Fan Faire! He will summarily be charged with 38 counts of murder, but glory lasts forever.

5. Punch a Paladin: You know that Paladin in your guild that only buys heal focuses and slay weapons? Yeah, he'll be there. And odds are he isn't expecting to get punched in the face. You know what you have to do.

4. Wander Around Naked: Death is a large part of EQ. Upon death you used to appear naked. If anyone takes issue with your lack of clothing, explain that this is, in fact, merely you dressed up as your character after a nasty wipe. People with tasers are mobs and you should do your level best to fight them off should they try to subdue you while you're corpse running; remember, you have none of your gear and are thus at a severe disadvantage. Make sure to constantly complain about being hungry and thirsty.

3. Guild Raid on The Chicken Ranch Brothel: Strength in numbers is key. Make sure that each class knows their job on this raid or things could get nasty. BEWARE OF VIRAL AES and do your emotes. Thank god for coin being weightless.

2. Drugs: Hunter S. Thompson knew how to live it up in Vegas. Are you a bad enough dude to one-up his story from Fear and Loathing in order to be crowned the drug king of your generation? Be careful not to do so much that you cower in fear behind a table shouting that your guild leader's wife is a girplan come to kill you. Staggering around mumbling incoherently is a good point at which to slow down.

1. Get so Drunk You Forget Your Own Name: Your parents gave you a name, but by the time you've had 14 Hurricanes at the Hard Rock Cafe you stop caring about that. You'll probably still remember your character's name so just introduce yourself with that.

I was crying when I read #7!

Enjoy!

This was posted a while back? I think AV took number 8 to heart.

[Shrunk]

We've always wanted to go as well. I hope you guys have a great time. We'll see you when you get back.

Medd and I are huuuuge fans of Vegas. When we were in Denver and kid-less it was a nice, cheap (we don't gamble much) getaway. Since we've put another 2,000 miles between us and Vegas and accumulated several kids - it's not been a frequent vacation destination. Medd went on a girls trip last year w/ her sister and a couple of friends. Suppose it's my turn this year...

Have a great time, there's no shortage of things to do and see.
