Anyone interested in attending QuakeCon next year (QC2K3) should check out the above
auction. This is for a great package and is for a great cause, too, with 100% of the
proceeds going to charity. I estimate the value of the airfare/hotel/transfers/dinner
at least $1,500 and probably closer to $2K.
Bid high!

Wow! QuakeCon 2002 was awesome. Thanks to all of the sponsors, volunteers, tourney
players and everyone else for coming out and making it the biggest and best QuakeCon
ever. Special congratulations to Lexer and Doctors for winning the Quake III and RTCW
tournaments, respectively. Both tournaments were amazing and had a lot of extra
personality with all of the international players.
TSN did just an absolutely incredible job with all of the broadcasting. I was really
impressed by all of those guys and especially the job Warwich did on the RTCW tourney.
Thanks to ATI for sponsoring the tournaments and providing the 9700 cards for the tourney
machines and the DOOM III Theater.
Big thanks also go out to VIA for the final party with the band (Edgewater) and comedy show.
I must say also that the band was excellent. Thanks Matt and gang for a spectacular show.
If you saw them at QuakeCon and want more info, you can check them out on the web at
www.edgewaterband.com They also play a lot of local shows in Dallas, so be sure and watch
for their live appearances in the Dallas club music scene. I'm sure that Edgewater is going
to be getting more and more national attention.
Finally, there are going to be a ton of pics and stories up on www.quakecon.org. Hopefully,
none of them will be too embarassing ;-)
And with that, all I can say is that we hope to see everyone and more again next year!

QuakeCon 2002 is now in full swing. If you couldn't make it out this year, you can
still follow all of the tournament action live via ShoutCast at www.tsncentral.com.
The broadcasters are doing an excellent job with the frag-by-frag and even have a
little webcam hooked up. Finals are scheduled for around 2PM tomorrow Central Time.
Also, the BYOC area at QuakeCon 2002 is now full. You're still welcome to come and
look around, see DOOM III, etc., but we have tapped out the space for computers.

QuakeCon 2002 is almost upon us! They've actually already begun setting up
in what we affectionately call "The QuakeCon Hotel" (aka Mesquite Hampton Inn).
This year's event promises to be the best one yet. With help from ATI, we've got
$100,000 up for grabs in the Wolf and Quake III tournaments, VIA is throwing all
manner of parties and is hosting a Q3 Trick Jump competition (really looking forward
to that one myself), and there will be tons of new Activision games on display,
including all of the new RTCW games and Enemy Territory.
We'll kick off the party on Thursday with a bar-b-que lunch, where it looks like
much wildness will be on display with the body and car painting contests. John will
be giving the official keynote on Friday afternoon. You definitely won't want to
miss that. Tournament finals and celebration (complete with cheap booze and a live
band - you have to be 21 for the cheap booze part) happens Saturday night
And, of course, there will be DOOM III. And not just a little bit of DOOM III, but
the whole E3 theater with a brand-spanking-new-never-before-publicly-shown
presentation. You might think of it as being an extended play version of the
"Best of Show" E3 presentation. Sorry, no cameras, so you'll have to come and see
it in person.
We've closed the online registration, but we'll have first-come-first-serve registration
at the QuakeCon Hotel. Admission is free, but we're expecting our biggest crowd
ever, so we can't promise admission or slots in the BYOC area to those who didn't
pre-register.
There are more details available at http://www.quakecon.org
Along with everyone at id, I look forward to seeing everyone later this week.
It's going to be fun =)

I've had a few questions about the price of private Quake II engine licensing
now that we have released the source under the GPL. We're doing the same
thing with Quake II that we did with the Quake engine and reducing the price
to a flat $10,000 if you want to keep your source code proprietary. You're not
required to pay the fee if you abide by the GPL, of course. But some people
have been interested in maintaining their own source and not releasing it, so
we offer this option as an alternative. The technology licensing page on our
website will be updated to reflect this after the start of the new year.
