Pokemon Go Fest 2018

[Guest Glimm]

I thought the game's popularity died down rather fast, but I guess it was not as bad as I thought. Niantic announced an event similar to last year's festival, titled “A Walk in the Park in Chicago,” which will take place on July 14 and 15 at Lincoln Park. One player can only attend one of the two days to give everyone a fair chance to participate in the event. The last festival was a disaster, so I am curious to see how they handle it this time.

 

Are you coming?

No, I'm not going to the Pokemon Go Fest. I've read about and watched via various YouTube videos conflicting accounts about the quality of last year's experience. The general consensus online seems to be that it was a debacle. That being said, I'm sure there were people who really enjoyed themselves. I personally think that Niantic should pull out all the stops this year in order to give this year's attendees a good time.

I have never been to a game festival mostly because of the crowd. I imagine such event will involve a massive multiplayer session which may not end up well due to the server's load. Fun but not worth the trouble. I have not even touched the game for a while.

 

Niantics said they would pull out all the stops. The question is whether they can do it without creating a new problem. If they fail again this year, then I bet all future festivals for the game will be cancelled.
