From Twitch.tv:

It’s official! SOE Live 2013 Registration is now OPEN!

SOE Live Gains a Few Hours

The planned events will sound familiar to SOE Live/Fan Faire veterans, but the schedule is a bit different.

The popular Player Panels are returning this year. But due to their popularity, and how crunched for time the devs have been in years past trying to squeeze everything in, you’ll notice that SOE Live activities will spill out well into Sunday afternoon this year, with Developer and Player Panels stretching until 2pm. I’m booked to fly out at 12:30pm so hopefully there aren’t any crucial panels I will miss. As it is, I’ll have to duck out of the Dev Brunch early to hail a cab.

Give it a Rest!

It looks like SOE listened to us about the dueling Keynotes last year which meant that we were busy with activities on Thursday, Friday AND Saturday night, so the second Keynote has been pushed to Friday morning. Friday evening we have from 5pm-8pm completely free before the Pool Party starts.

Here’s one of those things that would have been great to know before SOE Live 2012 Registration closed. 😉

It turns out that attendees of the upcoming SOE Live 2012 who purchased a Day Pass ($40) to attend either Friday or Saturday events in Las Vegas will get not only the EverQuest: Rain of Fear and EverQuest II: Chains of Eternity expansions, but also the in-game items. This is unusual compared to past years where only the $140 All Access Pass option granted said items.

Since the trend today seems to be complaining about free stuff, let’s complain about players ponying up $40 and getting two expansions, in-game items, the SOE Live T-shirt and Goodie Bags. And no this was not an oversight. When Brasse was asked, she replied with:

One day passes get free expansions. On purpose. =)
