Quake on the Lake 2019 Announcement

Here at Quake on the Lake, we know you love gaming. That’s why we are committed to bringing you the best video game experience on the planet. Take a week off work to reconnect with friends, see some amazing sights, eat some delicious meals and frag out all night playing your favorite video games.

We also know that games (and indeed all software) are not worth paying for anymore and should be FREE 2 PLAY*. So we are happy to announce that this year’s QotL can join the ranks of Forknife and Chicken Pox Legends by offering our event at no cost**! Players can enjoy sleeping in a tent, foraging in the woods for berries, running gasoline generators to power their PCs, and tethering to their phones for internet.

Don’t want to grind all week long? We’ve got you covered.

Presenting the 2019 Quake on the Lake BATTLE PASS!

For only $400 the QotL BATTLE PASS provides players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different achievements such as electricity, meals, indoor housing, and high speed internet! BATTLE PASS members receive a custom player shirt which honestly is worth it all by itself. Enjoy EARLY ACCESS as the LAN house is being setup! But don’t worry, these are all strictly cosmetic*** upgrades. Rest assured that this BATTLE PASS is a one time special event with lots of care and effort put into it and definitely not just a cash grab we’ll do every few months. We will never insult you, our fans, with micro-transactions****. BATTLE PASS purchasers will receive 1 free LOOT BOX containing a chance to win a great prize*****!

This year’s location is Dayton, OH from July 28-Aug 3rd. A shorter drive from the Akron area, this house features 7 bedrooms, 4 baths, community pools, golf course, tennis court, home theater, air conditioning and 100 Mbps high speed internet. Nearby is King’s Island amusement park and the Wright Patterson Air Force base museum. Downtown Dayton hosts a strip of bars and attractions sure to make for an entertaining Friday night dinner. We hope you’ll join us for a great summer vacation.

Pre-Order your BATTLE PASS today!

New LAN location in progress!

If you didn’t attend the last LAN (and even if you did), you may have missed the announcement that I have moved to a new house. This move means a new location in Medina, OH and some time to prepare the basement area for LANs. No house is perfect, and while we love our new place, it needs some work in the basement area before we can have a good LAN down there. At the very least, we need to run both power and networking down there and it will probably be sometime in Spring 2019 before it’s ready for a LAN.

On top of this, I have recently started a new flying job. Since everything in the aviation world is done by seniority, it means it will take me some time to work my way up the list and get weekends off again. Hopefully this will all come together with the completion of the basement and we can have LANs here shortly.

In the meantime, keep an eye out here, on Discord, or on our Facebook group for announcements from Alkali regarding LANs at his house in Silver Lake OH.

Hope to see you guys soon!
