I don't know if you could recall, but you guys had a rule last year stating that you can only LAN if you had a certain plug? Does that same rule still apply for this year? because I can't find those damn plugs!

[Chuluka]

When do the LAN tickets go on sale?

[Drewskie]

You will need the plug, go to any hardware store and ask for a red ups plug or you can try your local PC shop. There is now time for them to source it :D

[Retic]

The LAN tickets will go on sale 1st August. Yes the red plugs will be needed once again and they are very easy to find. We bought from Incredible in Northgate last year. If you are concerned about it go get yours now.

There are a few Facebook groups relating to rAge here is the event link from one of the groups

Most stores at rAge were selling the red plugs last year.

My friend went 2 years back, with a normal plug and he had no problems?

[Uranium238]

But where does these plugs come from? And what makes them beter than normal plugs?

[Drewskie]

It just helps to try prevent non pc items from being plugged into the power grid. The organizers have to budget on how much power is needed for the event and by using the red plugs they try control what gets plugged in.

I can assure you we will all really be impressed if some smuck plugs in his hot blanket and brings down the power at the event. So get over the complaints (they are old) and just get a red plug.

Last year every plug needed a red plug (I was there)

P.S. this post is my option and is in no way reflects the options of the organizers

/me runs and hides to avoid the fallout of this post.

@ Puttsmeister
You friend lied to you!

@ Drewskie
Agreed, can you imagine the riots if the power went out?

I am happy that talk about rAge 2009 is well on its way :D, can't wait!!

But I must say I am annoyed at how the new rAge website (rageexpo.co.za) has been edited.

There are some stupid "date" mistakes! They should have taken down the site and made a full sweep of correct updates before putting it up again.

But besides that I am already a little excited about rAge 2009, and look forward to it.

I heard a rumor that rAge is possibly coming to CT. Any truth behind this?

UPS plugs are differentiated from normal plugs by the earth pin having a flat side compared to a round one of a normal plug. This means that you can only insert the UPS plug into the socket as a round pin wont fit. There is otherwise no difference. You can have your normal plug with round earth pin shaved with a grinder to look like a UPS plug and and it will work.

@ D@rk Sid3
The errors on the rAge website are being addressed

[Gen_ Wolf]

Nice, the day after my birthday :)

A question from my side is when will we know what tournaments are happening at rage? etc...

How big is rage this year? has it increased at all?

For the whole red plug issue, they look better! So buy one :P

[Xm@niac!]

Cant wait for RAge..going to be big!

I think that is just wishful thinking on someone's part. I have no inside info but just looking at how rAge has got bigger and better each year, why would they move it to CT and have to start all over again.

Maybe they could hold a second event in CT like in the begining of the year or something but I personally don't see why they would move it
