FragFest.com History:

FragFest is THE WORLD'S LARGEST network gaming event. There are many copycat gaming tournaments out there these days, but FragFest is the oldest, largest, and original event. We currently have a mailing list of thousands of interested attendees who have visited our website and asked to be included in any updates or invitations to upcoming events. Attending our last event were 300+ game and network savvy users willing to travel from as far east as Florida. We've attracted media television crews from as far as Europe. We expect to see many more avid network multiplayer gamers at the next event.

The event itself lasts a full day and into the night and consists of network game tournaments with prizes for top finishers. Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, The Site, and CNet Central camera crews cover our events and interview many of our attendees on camera. Our past attendees have enjoyed international exposure with shots of gamers and interviews by major media reps at the event.

Multiplayer games are hot these days and the media is falling over itself to cover events like FragFest. The reigning world champion Doom player, Thresh, has attended every FragFest event and captured the Quake championship at the last event. Can you dethrone him? Do you dare try? After sweeping the competition he was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and swamped with corporate sponsorship offers. Spacetec IMC launched their "gamemasters" team at our last event. We have a PR firm that is working to make sure the creators of some of the hottest new games will make appearances to speak to the attendees.

FragFest Today
Today with the internet being what it is, FragFest is a internet gaming group. Playing games such as World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942 just to name a few on the internet. The other big advancement over the last few years has been voice over ip, which now also gives us the ability to chat with our fellow members while playing. Something that in the past was only able to be done at a physical meeting. Gone are the days of having to type everything command and strat to your team, now it can all been done in realtime with voice communication. Something unthinkable back in the days of dial-up 28.8 modems when FragFest first started out.

FragFest continues to move foward and grow with the games that we are involved with as well as making many new friends along the way. FragFest has been around for over 10 years now and we see no reason why we wont be around for another 10 years and beyond!
