Next QGL Lan will be on the 14th of April, and we have some suprises for you :) Firstly, it will be the first QGL lan featuring the new Cisco powered network, so expect it to cain! This lan will be at ANZ Stadium, home of the mighty QGL for the next year.

Thanks to Telstra and Wireplay we are pleased to announce that all our lans at ANZ will now have full internet access! Telstra have placed two uncapped Telstra Bigpond cable modems at the venue for our internet needs during the event.

There will be lots more happening with this in the future, including giving you clans the chance to take on clans at other AusGamers lans on the same day, while both clans are sitting together, this sure will rock. When we have other lans on the same day we will run competitions state against state to see who the best really is.

We expect you all to be connected to the AusGamers IRC channel (#ausgamers on Enterthegame) at all times during the event and are working with enterthegame to ensure that their blocking methods on multiple connections wont effect the ip's that are connected to the QGL Lan or any other AusGamers lan.

Use of our Cable connections will be limited to web browsing, IRC, ICQ and small downloads. Download speed per user will be capped so you wont be able to download huge files, also you'll get bitchslapped by trog if he catches you :P

What else do we have instore for this lan... We will be running dedicated servers for heaps of different games again, all our dedicated server needs will hopefully now be provided by the power of Gateway, we expect to be running Tribes2 Servers (release date 6th April) Black and White games will be high on the agenda (release date 6th april) obviously we will probably do somthing for CS and Quake3 in terms of comps but what is undesided yet.

Registrations will open on the 4th April giving everyone 10 days to register for the Event. Player limit will be capped at 350 players, as ever there will be cool aircon. We will be doing drinks and jolt will be back :) Also since its so hard to get food around there we are going to do hotdogs and some other food for you.

There are some other comps we are planing for the event, but I'll leave them till we get back from CPL Pacific.

=) im using BPA gotto LOVE this LAN!!!

sif nuked doesnt rock you... sorry wart, I used your post as a test :)

It's great to hear how these lan's are going from strength to strength.

Can one of you guys let us know who's responsible for getting the suport of these big companies?They deserve a huge pat on the back well done.

Just in passing, where the hell was the hall at the last lan? I drove in to the school, could only find a church full of ppl, no LAN.

Yeah, congratulations everyone. Good to see our hard-earned is not going to waste!

Brilliant Stuff! cant wait for it!

it was right down the back knoted

Ok, I was looking for a big car pack or something even, couldn't even see that. Some signs would have helped...

yeah they would have

Well, im @ work reading this and by golly im stoked for once...

I noticed the 14th is a Saturday, (der), but you didnt mention it was only one day!?

or did you?
sorry if im slow but people been telling me its gonna be on for 2 days!!

hehe wog sif you work

teh lan sounds mighty fine

what i cant figure out is, if the super sisko goodness will be at one ausgamers lan at a time...who gets to use it when the bris/other city's lan is on at the same time to play against each other?

these sponsorships are getting out of hand...its excellent!! they are all decent for what they do. and whoever the champ/s is/are that managed to con them into it deserves a pay rise, or maybe a free jolt? or just one of these ,,|,. i mean that in a nice way :)

Bloody f***ing hell, Aarons cousin has a wedding that weekend :(

Noooooooooooooooooo !!!!

haha necra

just tell him that u'll be at the wedding in spirit or some crap like that

Does this mean we can play games @ QGL from home or what

if there is a front line force server ill be there

im going to this sucker

play some of these games you all keep talkin about

i look forward to meeting axis

acid said your alright so ill keep an open mind

that means bump

Ah, is it 1 day or 2 days?
Also, how much?

Only for a sec man....

mmmm 2 uncapped cable conections
so thats 2 meg download and 800kB upload :D~~~
oh and the pings 30 ms to gamming servers
btw nice taped up Cat5 cables on those cisco routers :P

did you people read that
each user will be capped prolly at something rediculous like 10k/sec or something
and trog WILL bitchslap you

so does that mean that payment is in easter eggs instead of money cause it's easter

will the easter bunny be there?

hehe ya dident miss that part WarT , just the speeds ya can get with those two conections tho :D~~~

Only web and IRC? What about stuff like Asheron's Call and Everquest, cause it would be awesome to get a bunch of people together, and go into the game and form a huge group and cause massive slaw.

sif web at lan
#ausgamers will be farkn packed though

pretty funny

can someone answer my question? from a previous post

Freewheelin; I assume you are referring to your two-AusGamers-lans-at-once question, in which case we're going to take those issues as they arrive. I believe we have roughly 500 ports available with the Cisco gear (before someone starts counting on the linked image, there's 700 available for CPL-Pacific, but some of the switches are going back to Cisco after that event) - that would probably cover 1.5 lans, so we'll have to make up the remainder from previous purchased gear.

QGL will probably continue to try and upgrade its own network gear to support 300 players anyway, but it will take quite a while to purchase the 200 or so ports we require :/

The event will only be one day and finish at 12 midnight on the 14th, hence we have only mentioned the 14th.

The event after that is in June, again at the ANZ stadium and will be 2 days of qgl loving

with cable?

f***ing gay warez/cs fagets stop thinking about the cable ffs. You dont goto the biggest lan in qld just to leech your manporn off the net. As it says its capped for each user so use your head ffs.

Great the Kiddies have come home form school
/me looks at corruptor
nice to see the maturity in some peoples posts..lol

er, can you people not read? "download speeds will be capped per user", as in, no, there will be no uber leeching.

The cable is supplied primarily to facilitate inter-state matches; web/irc/icq etc will be supplied as available bandwidth dictates (that is, if a match gets choppy, we'll probably shut everything else off) -

I really wouldn't suggest using it for downloading, unless you're stuck with like a 28.8k modem on a s***ty phone line at home, in which case even 5k/sec will probably be a god-send :)

Okies, that's my first question answered.
I don't mean to be demanding (well actually, yeah I do) but how much it going to be?

We usually have to sit down and work out our financial status & expected number of attendees before deciding the price, but I'd expect $20 for the day.

Don't hold me to that though :)

Hmmmmm....ok.
$20 for a day is a bit....blarg....but hmmmm....

I swear, you could let people into lans for free and they would complain about having to pay for food

Should I bring my little old switch just in case :)

Hey, Nathan man, you let me in for free at QGL, and I won't complain about anything :)
I just recently lost my job, and I am a tad strapped for cash. Cause it's not just the LAN entry you have to pay for, you have drinks, nibbles and dinner etc too. Now, when you are 17, don't have a job, and your father recently left your mother, then it's a bit hard to pay 50 bucks each LAN.
I also have to pay for my own cable bill and anything else I need too.
Just saying that $25 for last QGL (2 days) and then $20 for a one day LAN. I dunno.

i will shout u BOB! but u have to gimme utr hardrive and all ur cd's of ANIME! k?
deal?!
kool sold!

For a one day LAN, the cost of the venue goes down, but the cost of tables and chairs does not. That's why the price is $20 instead of $15.

I must say I personally understand how much it sucks being in high school with no money (having gone through that myself), but unfortunately neither ANZ nor Richlands Party Hire are going to care :/

Well, I know that I'll be there :)

Cap it hard. The last thing I'd want is to go to LAN only to have people playing games on the net D:

Sweet, can't wait.

If Telstra are supplying the cable internet access, don't count on it working. The downtime recently has been shocking.

Chaos-Warrior. dont worry, there will be uber amounts of anime at lans

my BPA cable has been awesome lately; no problems at all

hey trog, hows melbourne?..
like the dvd?

Everyone should bring their own frog table and chairs then there is no need for table hire :)
(Only older quake players know what i am talknig about hehe I think )

heh, ye trusty ole frog table. I got one sitting in its folded up form in the corner of my lounge room right now!

máxe wants to go. but can he?

i missed the last lan :(

i should read my mail more often :|

i will miss no more :)

I don't get it.
Maxe spams these forums on a regular basis, but doesn't seem to ever turn up to the actual LANs...

BOB u have not agreed to the deal?

OK.guys.listen.up.my.space.bar.is.f***ed.so.try.hard.to.work.this.out.
To.have.two.cable.modems.running.into.such.a.venu.can.only.mean.one.thing.ROUTER.a.2.port.router?.
I.think.not.therouter.would.have.to.be.at.least.5.ports.long.why.not.sneak.some.more.modems.in.
and.we.can.get.maybe.abit.more.cappage.and.even.let.people.join.from.outside.and.lan.with.us.

:)

did everyone like my haiku?

good thinking wog, but i think the qgl admins burned all their 56k modems when they got cable :)

You don't need a router for two cable modems (well, not what I'm assuming you mean by "router")

Hey, f***, it was a haiku! Cool! :P

haiku's are hard to write.. :(

NO DEAL!!!!
I just finished getting all of Evangelion on HDD.
And it's f***ing sweeeeet quality :D

Sif you wouldn't get it on dvd. How can you even try and claim its good quality if its not on DVD? Honestly now, I do believe you are on crack.

Hey BOB, where'd you get it? :P

How are the 2 Cable Modems going to be linked? Is it going to be 1 for Interstate clan matches, one for everyone else, or 2 for everything, with load balancing? I guess if Cisco provided all those switches, they could provide a nice router. And Jim will figure something out.. he always does :D

I got it from a old man in an alley for tree fiddy :D

And seeing as I have no DVD player, having Evangelion on DVD would be really f***ing useless.
I plan on purchasing them on DVD when I get my new system completed.
Also plan to get Serial Experiments Lain on DVD too.
