Anyone who has attended one of our LAN events gets moved to Member status with additional channels. Each event will have a dedicated channel for attendees to use during the LAN.

We're not using it much yet, but with your help it will continue to grow! Let us know if you have any suggestions.

Happy Gaming!

Greetings gamers!

Are you prepared for the glorious return of your favorite gaming event? Magic LAN is rising from the dead this weekend for our "April, Fools!" LAN! Our new location in Mackinaw gives us plenty of space and power, a significantly improved internet connection, and a location that is central to both Peoria and Bloomington.

Some other things you might want to know about the event:

Titanfall 2 is having a free weekend! This fast paced shooter is full of parkour action and giant robots. It's an all around good time, and thanks to some new content releasing this weekend everyone gets to play. It will be available for download on Origin starting sometime later today.

We've had a lot more game suggestions in our forum thread for the event. Overwatch, Rocket League, Nuclear Dawn, Suicide Survival, Dead By Daylight, Minecraft, Unturned, Ghost Recon Wildlands, CS:GO, DOTA 2, Insurgency, Lead and Gold, Depth, The Ship, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Helldivers, and more... Point is, there will plenty of options for everyone.

Since this is a new location for us, we've created a map to help everyone with parking in appropriate locations. You'll find it on the event page and posted to our Facebook group. I'll probably print it out for the event. It's pretty straightforward, so no one should be trying to park like it's GTAV, alright? Remember rule #1 and be excellent to each other. Don't block anyone in or make things difficult for others in the area.

Also because this is a new location, please forgive any hiccups as we get settled in. We're going to be literally dusting off the equipment, and our LAN skills might be a little rusty, in addition to any unexpected surprises the building layout could toss our way. We intend to keep the circuits live and the network snappy, but if you have any issues please let us know so we can get it sorted out.

And finally - spread the word that we are back and gaming again!! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Bring the kids or siblings that used to get in the way of your precious game time but now are finally old enough to join in the fun! Tell your co-workers, tell your in-laws, tell the cashier at the grocery store, tell your postal worker, tell your dog, just grab them each by their face handles and make sure they know that the mighty days of the local LAN party are here again!

Happy gaming!

-The Magic LAN Staff

It's been a while, we know. And that's totally our fault. But we never stopped thinking about you, honest! And we know how this sounds, but we'd really like to get back together. It can be just like the good old days! We had some fun times, right? Sure, we had our ups and downs. And we admit there was some tension, even violence. But through all that, we were always such a great team! You know it's true.

And we've changed! We moved, for one thing. This new place is pretty nice. Plenty of room to party, you can even invite some friends! We know you didn't stop living when we left, you've probably met lots of people since then. We hope you've told them good things about us.

We know it will be a little weird seeing each other again. Awkward at first, maybe. We've been out of the game for a while, and we're a little out of practice to tell the truth. But we can start slow, and we will figure it out together! We want to hear all about what you've been doing lately.

Listen, we know how sudden all this is. And you're hesitating. We've let you down before, and you don't know if you can trust this timing. But we can't wait to see you, and the sooner the better. How does a couple weeks from now work for you?

What we had was really special, and we know you feel the same. So take us back, please?

Love,
Magic LAN[www.magic-lan.com]

I created a game for us to all work on. It's open to everyone on my friends list. If your not, then add me.
