1. Event registration became available at noon Monday. They determined they needed to do some server work almost as soon as this happened, so they scheduled downtime from 5 pm to 7 am Pacific, locking out the west coast for the first full day, if you happen to work normal hours.
2. Last year, you could search on the web site, get a clear listing of games and which ones still had spots and view descriptions, and narrow it to what you wanted. This year you MUST download either a comma separated file or an Excel spreadsheet. Don't have anything that reads those? Gee, I guess you must not want to go to Gencon enough. (I can read either of them just fine. However, the format is ugly and unreadable because there is a TON of information here to put in just a row.) Since you did it last year, exactly why can't you do it this year? Rampaging incompetence, I assume? Either that or a total dislike for your customers.
EDITED: When you add the item to your cart, all that info is there in the same format as last year. All they did was remove the search that was used and worked last year. I'm not even gonna say what I think. I'm just gonna leave it at that; I think it speaks for itself.
3. Wow, the selections are nowhere near as good as last year's. On the other hand, there seems to mostly still be enough to do.
4. I did manage to get a decent set. Unsurprisingly, Thursday stinks the worst. Equally unsurprisingly, every game I wanted for first choices (including the only Seventh Sea game I tried for this round, SIGH) on Thursday was full. But my second choices weren't, so it's still okay. Nobilis was full too. I am never going to get to try that system at this rate. *wry* And the game where you play cats was full.
Mind you, in spite of the grumpy I'm lined up for the most insane four days in gaming. But I didn't have nearly as many good choices and I'm very glad I hit registration on the second day it was opened, all things considered. What a dismal thing Thursday in particular was. Ahwell. I generally enjoy the con, so I think it's probably worth the aggravation of trying to sort out the events.
