FPS Group, Computer Power User, UMSL, and others are joining us daily to make this a fantastic Midwest event.  We also have just returned from helping run ESWC at NVISION a couple weeks ago, so our skills are sharp.  Running events for many hundreds of the best competitors from around the world was a blast; in the process we have earned national and international respect for our ability to administer gaming events.

We have PLENTY of space for this event and will open the gates for ~200 users.  CONSOLE AND PC gamers alike are welcome to attend … this is 100% BYOC (Computer or Console).  Details will be provided on each registration page.

Thanks everyone … let’s make this yet another fun and competitive gaming event!

Over the past months many people have asked when our next LAN will be.  Today, we can officially announce our next event:

October 25-26, 2008
IT Enterprises
4633 World Parkway Circle
St. Louis, MO 63134
~200+ Attendees

Details are pending, but our goal is to host events for CS 1.6, CS:S, Quake, and venture more formally into the Console gaming arena.  Prizes and specific details will be coming within 1-2 months,  but here’s what we need from you:

• E-mail or post in our forums with your interests for tournaments.
• Contact us if you’re interested in volunteering to work at the event.
• Spread the word!

Remember, our events are YOUR events.  We have a long-standing legacy of both solid competition and fun for those who merely want to come and game.  Feel free to e-mail or post your questions!  We can’t wait to get back to doing what we love most - running fantastic events.

Registration will open as soon as possible!  Stay tuned!!!

If you haven’t heard, the CPL recently ceased operations. Many of you, like me, may have the obvious question on your minds, “What’s Next?”

Mr. Munoz points to “fragmentation of the sport” and “the current economic climate” as primary reasons for the demise of the CPL but to be honest I really feel that this is a cop-out. There are much bigger reasons that the CPL ultimately died …

Today, we’re making our first announcement of our “Summer Series” of events in partnership with Luke’s Game Space. If you’re looking for some great competitive events, we will be having something for everyone … from Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source, to Call of Duty 4, to Halo 3. Both PC and Console events will be held. We are checking our calendars over this week and will announce our first few events soon. Our hope is to begin in April/May and continue all the way through the end of Summer. Instead of one single Warfactory event, we believe that smaller and more focused events will make for much stronger competition and a lot more fun for everyone.

For those of you who came to our first event at Luke’s, please note that we used that event as a “pilot” and will be making many changes to the facility to make bigger events easier and much more fun. We will separate our PC and Console events so we can allow for larger numbers of attendees and will be rearranging things so you can get around easier too.

We’ve got lots of ideas, but want to hear yours! Please feel free to discuss your thoughts below and in our forums …

It may not look much different, but we’ve upgraded our infrastructure! Warfactory will now have a number of new features for convenience and enjoyment.

Most user accounts have been migrated automatically, so your username and password should work as it always has. A handful of you will find that your username could not be transferred, mainly because of strange characters. No worries though … just create a new username and you’ll be golden!

Stay tuned as we keep adding to the site!
