i've been for a RAGE Lan before! Awesome LAN and even better event! I was a bit slow on the uptake this year, and did not get a ticket in time.
What's more fun is a group of gamers going down for the LAN. The stuff you learn and leech is unbelievable!

Sadly, I think this year was my last rAge LAN. All the modern PC games require the Internet to play - We were having quite a lot of issues with Steam this weekend so I couldn't play games like Left4Dead or Team Fortress 2. Sure, there were cracked LAN versions, but they are outdated and do not include some of the latest and greatest content.
Add to the fact that I usually get better pings over ADSL than at rAge, I see no reason to go again.
The only thing that'll maybe get me back there is the socializing aspect. My buddies, fiance and I had a blast, even though we only played like 2 different games the whole weekend.
RIP LAN.

rage was ok. not sure if ill go next year just for gaming as latency on saix servers are about the same.
The servers must have been setup wrong or something this year, because last year the servers were awesome and this year in the VIP lan the pings were 0.
I did here some stories about the network going down and windows 7 users struggling abit. But rAge is always awesome.

Well, rAge was awesome ito of the people that attended and the gaming. The network wasn't the greatest though...
Anyhow - if anyone in Durban is keen to attend the biggest gaming event on the Durban calendar, checkout www.frag.co.za for details on the Showcase LAN happening 11-13th December!!
We're anticipating over 500 gamers attending the event!!
