As has been mentioned many times. It's when you register, if you registered late then not much can be done. And the naughty words don't help either.

apologies, it's a solid system, good job respawn staff

Since the pre-payed limit is now reached, can you still pay before getting there to guarantee your seat?

Or assuming you are in the top 400 your seat is guaranteed (assuming you show up and pay at the door)?

My understanding is, being this close to the event, if u r in the top 400, ur seat is pretty much guaranteed until 2pm. After that, it's who gets there 1st. Unless u have pre paid, then u said is reserved for the entire event.

Shub0xx is correct.

If you're in the top 400 of player list for v17, then you're in.

You cannot prepay anymore, even if you are in the top 400.

Yeah, I know what you mean, at v16 there were still heaps of seats empty from what I could see.

Personally, I reckon you guys should invoke a 'loyalty' system thingo... People who register and are in the top XXX for the event and don't show, (you should be able to tell cause they don't pick up their tags) should be given a "mark" against their name or something.

Thus, you could possibly make it so that these players with 'marks' against their name/account, when they sign up for the next event, get pushed out of the event in the circumstance of them being in the top XXX. Alternatively, you could make it, 2 "marks" and then they get pushed out... (however I like the idea of if you miss an event, the next one they register for they get pushed out of)

Ofc, then you'd have to create some way of also letting players appeal this (say if their car dies, computer isnt working no more, or family emergency etc etc).

Just an idea is all...

Also, something actually thread-related;

Hey Tank, I'm gonna try and prepay 2night for me and a friend, however her account says "validating" on the profile page,... Will that stop her from being able to register herself for the next lan? If so, would i still be able to prepay for hers even if she isnt registered because of that?

kayz, so I clicked the Prepay now link and paid via Paypal, but didn't put any extra info or stuff in the payment details coz I forgot and just clicked the Pay Now button.

Is that alright? Will the system register that (i use a separate email address for Paypal and Respawn)? or do I have to PM someone now? ><

If you used the prepay button on the registration page, the appropriate details will be automatically filled in and you won't need to do a thing.

If you did a manual payment however and forgot to fill in the description field, you'll need to PM Tank.

As long as she is registered for the LAN (this should still be possible while validating), you can prepay for her. Send me a PM if you need some help.

gah

cheers sando (and squidy in irc).

all done

how does one pay with out having a paypal account.. id rather not use paypal as i don't like using that stuff.

The website offers direct deposit into Respawn's account. You can use Internet banking with your banking provider to action that.

How?
Click Prepay -> Click Direct Deposit
Follow the directions carefully so it comes through properly.

So, I pre-paid via Paypal right after registering, and it's not showing that I've paid?
The e-mail I used via Paypal differs to my Respawn rego, hopefully that is still okay.

Ezkaton: that's fine. Players don't show as paid until we proces the details. It will probably be done some time today.

Paid for player wombat but no prepaid status update, when can we expect it to be updated.

The script that does that work can take a minute or two to clear through, if you find its not clearing after a few days, use the contact us page to alert us to this error.

But 99.999% of transactions I've seen since sando coded it all up, work flawlessly.

it wasnt for myself, it was a manual payment. Ill just wait for a few days, im sure everything will be fine.

Manual payments are processed manually. It'll be manually processed when the manual processor gets back. Everything will be fine, nothing to worry about

Still hasnt come up and my girlfriend is now getting worried about her ticket

This transaction will appear on your statement as "PAYPAL *ZARDOZ".

Sorry mate, I usually process the manual payments but I haven't been home in awhile! I'll be sure to fix this up when I get home tonight.

Hi,

If I'm really really really late on registering (like now), it says confirmed and I arrive 10 or 11 , what's my chances of gettitng a seat? You said you didn't have many people show last time, but there's 596 who want to attend!

Akkers: As waiting 14, you normally speaking won't be given a seat until 2pm. If you check on the website on Friday it will say if you have moved up. If you are in the top 450 you are allowed to go in.

You are free to spectate until 2pm (for free), and from my own experience, you are nearly guaranteed to get a seat when the time comes.

The list of players is here: http://respawn.com.au/?page=events&a=p...rs&event=28

Thanks for the info

sando you legend

i'd like to get two friends to come along but they dont have an account (and i dont have a unique email for each). how can i create usernames for them and afterwards prepay, and then book seats?

Prim,

Surely they can create their own accounts right? Or they have a unique email address for themselves you could use?

Jeffy

they're like 10 and the only thing they know on a computer is minecraft (and they know it damn well )
i'll see if they can sort it out themselves :s

If not, you can always create a gmail or hotmail or something for them and create an account on here for them.

I just payed through paypal using eCheque and that takes about a week... is this OK?
