<p>We've used Fuze for the Arizona DECA State Conference, they were awesome. They gave us some 2200 units of Fuze for free with the coolers as well. They are a tasty drink and aren't too bad for you.</p><p><a href="http://www.drinkfuze.com/" target="_blank">Fuze Website</a></p>

<p>How about a vendor that sells miniatures, plushies, posters ect of in game items? It may be too soon for this fan faire, but I bet these would sell like Denmums trailmix.. if she were to market it =P</p>

[Calthine]

<p>Oh!  There was a peripheral vendor there last year (can't for the life of me remember the name).  I darn near brought hubby home a keyboard.</p>

I mean we really, really do want to pay you to advertise your games. <img src="/station/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p><p>*from all titles that you own the IP rights too, or can get the IP rights approval on.</p>

I think SOE should work on getting booths for all there games before they start trying to find vendors.

[Venomu]

<p>a section of a kiosk lol.</p>

[Croesus]

<p>Perhaps a Vendor who sells game developers to games that have none?</p>

<p><cite>VenomusV wrote:</cite></p><blockquote>I think SOE should work on getting booths for all there games before they start trying to find vendors.</blockquote><p>SOE always has a large booth with everything sold in the Station Store.</p>

[Meric]

<p>I would love to see a vendor selling in-game items that are either unobtainable, hard to get, or just plain rare.  Heck I would sell out some cash for these items that no longer drop!  <img src="/station/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Matt_NZ]

<p>V energy drink!  It's going to be hard surviving 2 weeks without it, it's my daily fuel that keeps me going <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  A V vendor stand would be like a home away from home...</p>

<p>Would love to see some more Items with Everquest, not Everquest 2, but everquest. The brown hat and lighters I already have covered lol. some shirts, a black baseball cap would be cool. stuff along those lines. The everquest 2 hoody is awsome but throw in a EQ1 Hoody and Im all over it. That being said the sony people in the booth are awsome to deal with. thanks for all you do=) See you all in Vegas!</p>

<p>I would love to see a vendor for SWG items this year specifically. There hasn't been any  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Kilant]

<p>vendor ideas hmm....</p><p>in celebration of everquests 10th maybe ALL the vendors could dress up as frogloks for one day only, would be fun to see.</p><p>or what would really be cool being that EQ1 can run on a Mac, is if Apple could be there to celebrate with us<img src="/station/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" /> And in spirit of EQ's 10th anniversary celebration they could hand out FREE 16gig iphones to everyone who attends.</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN2HAroA12w" target="_blank">Twitter is evil </a><img src="/station/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" /> pure evil!

[Sassums]

<p>Everyone wants an Energy Drink Vendor - have any idea what an energy drink does to your heart? lol</p>

I doupt the energy drink does much more damage... besides if there are no energy drinks it would just make the Coffie vendor richer. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Saroc_Luclin]

There definitely needs to be some EQ 10th Anniversary swag available. Update the pins (GOOD Pins, not the little buttons you updated last year) with the classes (including Zerkers!), servers, etc... New 10th Anniversary stuff, t-shirts, hats, notepads, the Anniversary book, lighters, pens, pins, pennants, calenders, organizers, etc.... Oh and it's been 5 years. You can probably ditch/greatly discount any remaining 5th Anniversary stuff you have.

[HeiligHangranate]

<p>I don't know whether they'd be interested, but I'd like to see more stuff like this:</p><p><a href="http://guildcloaks.com/">http://guildcloaks.com/</a></p>

The SoE still has "Food" and "Shelter" available to MxO, it is just that it is getting very old and/or run down. Abandoned in the sence I mean is no SoE support at all...wich includes servers to play on, Short list of abandoned children in this sence Auto Assult, Asheron's Call 2, Earth and Beyond, etc.</p>

[Croesus]

<p>Rofl! Ok, neglected is much better! A neglected child should be thankful it's not been abandoned!</p><p>Oh and just for you, because you don't seem to realise, the 'food' ran out a long time ago, so we have to wonder how long before they decide to take the 'shelter' away from MxO?</p>
