Back Then

More than four years ago, MassiveLan.com and a group of Western New York Gamers sat down and made plans to become the largest LAN (local area network) Party in the region. They succeeded.

Their persistence, dedication, and relentless nights of organizing such an event would be the foundation for what regional gamers call the "MLP", the Massive LAN Party.

Hundreds would come. Some with self made systems, others lugging their modified gaming rigs, naturally the uber elite, and never forgetting the stingy PC builder's dream. All to play games for three days and nights without end. Prizes, tournaments, and many sleepless hours would await the individual who would participate in the mini-events. The saddest PC in the room would receive free upgrades and manufacturers would dedicate product specifically for those who would win such bizarre events as "the infamous 3am chair race".

Each year the "party" grew, the switches faster, the gaming more intense, and the overall experience more refined. Each gamer pleased, each memory exciting.

To those who began this journey on our behalf, thank you...

Without your nights of hard work we would not have the foundation that many have yet to discover: Massive LAN!

Come Again

2008. Local System Builder and Gaming Rig Gig: TechnoPhobia sponsors Massive LAN 08'.

Bringing to the table radio advertising, organized manufacturer prizes, self-promoted products and services, TechnoPhobia delivers more than fifteen years of gaming and system builder experience. A partnership between the gamer and the businesses that drive the industry is formed.

Designed for the enthusiast, TechnoPhobia has held a reputation for 22.5k 3dMark06 scores and an astonishing 127.8 FPS when tested in the recently released MMO megahit: Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures.

Amounts donated by TechnoPhobia have exceeded more than four-thousand-dollars and believe this to be a record number from prior sponsors. Prizes range from gift certificates, Razer products, SteelSeries swag, and a Samsung 22" Wide 1000:1 Gaming Monitor!

Amongst this year's sponsors are companies TrendNet, Sapphire, and many valued others.
