DSegrin 0 Posted August 25, 2004 Hello all..  Just surfed on in and was checking out your website..  I am with TheGXL and figured I'd jump in to tell you about our 512 MAN LAN event coming up this October.  Currently we are ramping up to give every gamer an experience you could never forget.  There are TONS of mega LAN competitions in the United States so TheGXL is pushing towards the biggest garage LAN ever on the East Coast instead.  Just come on out and have a great time!  --- Sure there will be tournaments, but we don't feel like 4-5 people should be the only ones to benefit from $10,000 in cash.  80% of gamers in the industry are made up of regular gamers like me who do not game on a professional level.  So rather than cater to the minority TheGXL is putting together a LAN that’s geared towards something EVERYONE can enjoy.  44,000 Square Feet of Clean Prestigious Garage Environment Seating 552 gamers in BYOC section of garage Professional Intelligent Lighting, Sound System, and Stage Professional Audio Video content featuring two 9'x12' projector screens Massive 10'x15' projector screen backdrop to our stage 4 Structured Tournaments - Professional Tournament Room Partitioned - Sound Dampened Spectator arena Lots of Entertaining Side Games Full Grill Menu Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner onsite at the event Pallets of discounted Bawls, and other HIGHLY discounted beverages Catered Gamer Lounges with Consoles/DVD Players linked to Projectors Great Sponsors TONS more..................... All proceeds benefit Millville Rescue Squad and First Responder Emergency Medical Services. Hope to see you all there.  Come check us out when you get a chance at http://www.thegxl.com ...  Registration opening mid-end /of August. **Sign up for our forums at http://www.thegxl.com/forum/ to add yourself to our mailing list.  We will send you details about the event and notify you when registration is available.  ** (Any features listed are subject to change without notice at any given time.  As of now all highlights for the event have been confirmed.)

DSegrin 0 Posted August 27, 2004 In February, theGXL brought in nearly 300 attendees for the targeted 256 Man Lan. Pappy-R from PlanetQuake drove down from Canada, as well as Jeff from ATI. Mike Jaret from Running with Scissors and Darren from Toms Hardware were also in on the sponsorship attendance. We had an array of other supportive companies such as City Electric, D-Link, X-Gameservers, and Pepsi. The following are some links to stories and press releases that were contributed by some of our sponsors and the most reputable gaming resources out there. http://www.tomshardware.com/game/20040306/index.php http://games.dlink.com/events/theGXL_feb04.asp http://www.planetquake.com/features/articles/gxl_a.shtml http://www.accelenation.com/?ac.id.219.1 http://www.ampednews.com/?page=articles&id=90 http://www.planetquake.com/images/photo/index.asp?id=455696 So far, theGXL has been hard at work behind the scenes making immense improvements on all aspects of the LAN Event. Now geared up with high end Cisco gear, a completely routed network, and nothing but managed switches on every table, this  translates into a near 0 ping environment for everyone. Our 260,000 watt powerhouse transformer peaked at just under 17% utilization during the last LAN party. Professional intelligent lighting and sound can be expected at the 512ml just to mention a few enhancements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
