[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 3496830, member: 11434"] I haven't noticed a whole lot of the problems that others have been mentioning... although I did hear about the 200 thing this year, secondhand. (I live in Indy so registering for a hotel didn't effect me, and honestly, I wouldn't want one right downtown, anyway.) I wasn't able to go last year, and haven't registered yet this year (just bought a house, so a little short on cash), but I do recall the year before the registration consisted of an excel spreadsheet you downloaded, and then you hoped you could get the events and spots you wanted. What's up with that? I mean, really... I went to a smaller con that same year (I think it was U-Con) that had live registration - pull up the event, and you saw how many tickets were available for each slot and could buy them right then, changing the numbers on the fly. If they can do it, why not GenCon? Sure, GenCon has many more events, but presumably more money and time, too. I could program a better system then GenCon has right now, and I'm sure that GenCon LLC can afford a better web developer than me to do so... although judging by the tech they have now, I'm waivering between "they don't care" and "they can't afford it".
