The last time i left the country was to go to Sweden with Multiplay to attend DreamHack, and all in all it was pretty fantastic. The atmosphere is different to any other LAN I've been to of any size.
Theres a party atmosphere thats just... Different. Music plays through the whole venue 18 hours a day and the production team run the stage with artists and competitions much like the iSeries. The difference is that they have more cameramen than the iSeries has production staff and they still run 12 hour stage plans on some days (some days are less, but can you blame them?)
The fact its a dry event in Sweden really didn't matter, beer is plentiful if pricey in the hotel if you want some but its not like its essential. The huge halls are interesting to game in, and theres often choruses of HAAAAALLOOOOOO going about the rows and between halls.
The desks are a little... Ghetto. Pallets tied together, with chipboard tops arent the most comfy but for 11000 people, its still fairly impressive it all gets setup in such a short time.
Would i go back? Probably, but it is a long way and its not cheap, but its defiantly an experience.
