FunCon 09': Battle of the Factions
(Theme from one of our existing games)
Massively.com and Funcom are teaming up to host one of Dragon*Con's most kickass parties to date! Now with a solid partner in crime, Funcom will join together with Massively.com and provide THE official gathering for all MMOG fans alike!
This year we're going all out with a live DJ that will stream the entire party via internet radio. We'll also have various giveaways for awesome prizes as well just handing out swag for those who attend the party!
If that wasn't enough, the party will also host a few special guests that will remain unannounced until we're closer to the event launch. However, we're pleased to announce that Canadian singer/songwriter Jennifer Parkin from Ayria has confirmed attendance of this year's event! Ayria is an anime, glam, 80's, gothic Lolita, cyber, and punk all wrapped up in an energetic ball of furry that will surely bring a lot of flavor to our event!
