QuakeCon is a bring-your-own-computer computer gaming (BYOC) event held every year in Dallas, Texas, USA. The event, which is named after id Software's game Quake, sees thousands of gamers from all over the world attend every year to celebrate the company's gaming dynasty.

However, the core element that separates QuakeCon from most other events of its kind is the volunteer aspect.

This is most often expressed by describing QuakeCon as the "Woodstock of gaming", a week of "peace, love, and rockets!"

Origin

QuakeCon originally grew out of a group of people on the EFnet IRC network, in channel #quake. As various regular visitors to the channel began expressing a desire to meet and game together in person, Jim Elson, a.k.a. "H2H", a gamer from the Dallas, Texas area with ties to the local Dallas-area gaming community, and Wikipedia editor Yossarian Holmberg, a.k.a "yossman", a computer consultant from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, came up with the idea of collecting at a hotel. The original event name was actually '#quakecon', named after the IRC channel, though this quickly evolved into just 'QuakeCon'. Mr. Elson organized the bulk of the event for the first two years, until the number of people attending each year demanded a more organized approach. Volunteers grouped into teams to assist in the setup, troubleshooting, and tear down of the event's equipment and network.      IRC Abjects • AbleNET • AfterNET • Aitvaras • AusIRC • AustIRC • AustNet • Blitzed • BRASnet • DALnet • Delinked • DeltaAnime • EFnet • EsperNet • freenode • Gamma Force • GamesNET • GameSurge • IRCHighway • IRCnet • LinkNet • NetGamers • Open and Free Technology Community • QuakeNet Rizon • SlashNET • UKChatterbox • UniBG • Undernet • ZiRC EFnet or Eris Free network is a major IRC network, with over 70,000...

Past events

1996

The first event, in August 1996, was held at the Best Western hotel in Garland, Texas, a mile or two away from the id Software company offices. Starting with just 30 people, by the end of the weekend the number of people had grown to 100, as news of the gathering began to spread on Internet chat networks. The Best Western has since been replaced by a La Quinta Inn. Best Western is the worlds largest hotel chain, with nearly 4,000 hotels in nearly 80 countries. ...

For other uses, see Texas (disambiguation). ... id Software (IPA: officially, though originally ) is an American computer game developer based in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. ... La Quinta Inns are a chain of limited service hotels in the United States and Canada. ...


Attendees who had brought their computers along to the event set up a small, impromptu network, in one of the hotel meeting rooms, playing mostly Quake I and Doom, testing deathmatching skills. A small tournament was held, with winners taking home T-Shirts as prizes. Doom (or DOOM)[1] is a 1993 computer game by id Software that is a landmark title in the first-person shooter genre. ...


The highlight of this first gathering came on the eve of the last day, when the entire id Software team showed up at the event in a surprise and most-welcome visit, stopping by to chat with the participants. John Carmack, lead programmer for Doom/Quake, participated in a 30–45 min. group chat with attendees on the porch of the hotel. Some ideas discussed during that chat eventually made it into Quake's future public releases. This "Carmack's Talk" has now grown into a yearly keynote speech. id Software (IPA: officially, though originally ) is an American computer game developer based in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. ...

1998

QuakeCon 1998 was held in conjunction with the Cyberathlete Professional League. Due to poor planning and the lack of people who had helped make the first two events a success, QuakeCon 1998 is regarded by many as being only partially a QuakeCon event. However, it was instrumental in motivating a group of people to start planning QuakeCon 1999 early.

1999

QuakeCon 1999 was the first event in which id Software played a major role in the organization. Recognizing that major sponsors were needed, David Miller a.k.a. "Wino" & Paul Horoky a.k.a "devilseye", both original QuakeCon 1996 people, contacted id Software and convinced them to become the main sponsor, and to help out with finding more sponsors. Together with Anna Kang (then id Software employee, now John Carmack's wife) and a team of volunteers, Mr. Miller & Mr. Horoky set out to build QuakeCon 1999, which became the template for later years. id Software (IPA: officially, though originally ) is an American computer game developer based in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. ... id Software (IPA: officially, though originally ) is an American computer game developer based in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. ... id Software (IPA: officially, though originally ) is an American computer game developer based in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. ...

  • Total Attendance: 1,100
  • BYOC Size: 500
  • Location: Mesquite Convention Center, Mesquite, Texas, USA
  • Highlights: A change of venue allowed the convention to grow larger than it had ever been before, and, this time, just down the street from id Software headquarters in Mesquite. id Software employees, including John Carmack, participated in various tournaments with attendees on-site as well. A large number of companies sponsored the event for the first time, including Activision, AMD, Apple Computer, ATI Technologies, Logitech, Linksys, and Lucent Technologies.
  • 1999 marked the year that the event was designed in a way clearly recognizable to any later QuakeCon attendee. In fact, this design, largely attributable to David Miller's leadership, would be widely copied by other LAN parties in later years, and would be significantly expanded on and perfected in later events. But this event, with its distinct layout, could readily be considered the foundation of the modern LAN party, and continues to be used to great effect even today.

2001

QuakeCon 2001

  • Total Attendance: 3,000+
  • BYOC Size: 1,250
  • Location: Mesquite Convention Center
  • Highlights: 2001 saw QuakeCon continue to flower and grow, as the event began to strain the confines of the Hampton inn, and the event began to attract national acclaim and attention. 2001 also saw a significant change in leadership of the event, as the retirement of David Miller and Paul Horoky caused the event to be passed to John "Eviljohn" Carney as Executive Director, and Brian "Tapper" Davis as the Director of Operations. Reservations for placement in the BYOC were nearly quadruple the available capacity.

  • Date was announced February 19, 2002. (unconfirmed)
  • 2002 is often considered the last year of the truly "grassroots" QuakeCon, since id Software assumed a much more dominant role in planning and booking the event in later years. 99-02 are often called the "Golden years" of the event by old timers, and marked the days when the event had a distinct flavor to it all its own, and most of the event venue booking and sponsor contacts were done by volunteers. 2002 also marked the year when the Internet "bubble" fully burst, and caused the decline of a great many gaming websites as viable businesses. Future events saw much less interest and emphasis on websites and web companies, and more focus on established hardware vendors.
