(We’re putting the PARTY back into LAN party)

Do you miss the days of the old basement LAN parties of the late 90’s?

Were you even alive back then?

What this is:

An attempt to recreate the fun and excitement of an old school basement LAN party. Only in a slightly larger venue.

What this is NOT:

A large scale LAN event with sponsors, tournaments, and cash prizes.

Headphones will NOT be allowed at this event. We want to embody the feeling of the old basement LANs prior to when headphones became the norm. Please bring desktop speakers, and crank them up! We want to hear everyone yelling and screaming at each other across the room, just like in the old days. Future events may allow headphones.

Where:           VFW Post 2866

66 VFW Ln, St Charles, MO 63303

When:            Saturday, January 6th, 2024;    1PM – 10PM

Food will not be provided. However, you are allowed to bring in your own food and beverages, just not alcohol. There will be a bar at the venue where you can order booze, if you wish.

Hell, we may even duct tape somebody to the ceiling!

We’re pleased to announce that the Rust Sandbox server is LIVE! To get moderator access which grants you the ability to spawn whatever items you want and issue server commands, simply connect to the server and within 5 minutes, an automated process will detect your account and grant you elevated permissions. Once this is done, log off and back onto the server again to process the new permissions. For help, questions, or comments, join us on Discord.

A call to arms

We’re bringing Warfactory back with a series of online gaming servers and community hub (this site). And while we may not have any intent on throwing “large” scale LAN events. There’s no reason why we can’t throw a LAN party here and there. But we need members to help make this possible, and admins to help run the online servers. If you’re interested in getting involved to see if we can revive this beast, then please PM me. And by all means, if you haven’t created an account yet, please do! Also, join our Discord server, our Steam group, and our Facebook group. We really want to revive this beast, but we need your help!

Thanks,

Topher
