Frequently Asked Questions 29th September 2007

If you have any questions or concers about pLan X or lan parties in general check out the frequently asked questions on this page and if you still have questions send us an e-mail to staff@planxgaming.com.


How much does pLan X cost?

Registration will be $30 for the 2 day event. This will cover 1 chair and enough table space for 1 computer. If you wish to bring a file/game server you will have to put it on server row. Click on the Help Us tab on the navigation window on information on how arrange this.


Are there any tournaments or contests?

Yes! There will be official tournments that will be determined by the registrated users by voting. Also unoffical gamer run tournaments are more than welcome. Anyone interested in running an unnoficial tournament speak to one the pLan X staff and we will make an announcement at the event. Apart the tournaments there are also plans for a Texas Hold'em poker tournment and a case mod contest. If you have an idea for a contest or activity let us know by clicking the Suggestions button on the navigation menu on the left.


What should I bring?

Everything you own. No, seriously this is a big issue. You can start preparing your gear weeks before the event only to realize too late that you forgot to bring your monitor. We have dedicated a page to list the required and optional items you may want to bring. Check the What To Bring button on the navigation pane.


Can I bring my printer/stereo/TV?

The short answer to this is no. The reason is that power for a large lan event is limited. We only allow you to connect 1 PC and 1 Monitor. We understand that some people may have certain needs beyond this and arrangements can be made to a point. An external hard drive may be ok, but don't expect to bring a small refigerator. If you are found to be abusing this you may be asked to leave without a refund.


What operating systems are supported?

Windows. Most versions should be fine, but make sure you have all the latest security patches and are free from virus/spyware. You may run any OS you want, but are on your own to get onto the network. Also many games won't run, or won't run as well outside of windows so make sure you do your research ahead of time. It is also a good idea to bring your OS installation disks in the unlikely event that you will need to install/re-install.


Is sleeping allowed?

Of course, we encourage anyone to catch some sleep if they need it. We want our attendees to be safe on their drive home. Space permitting, we will try to set aside an area for sleeping. You are on your own for blankets/pillows etc.


Will you have internet access?

We expect to, but we are still working out the details. Similar event in the past have had cable internet access to we don't expect any issues.
