Well, after leaving the site dormant for quite some time, I guess it's time we re-open Catacombz.com to some regular updates. Things have been returning to normal at our events, so I figured it was time for the site to follow in the same footsteps.

First, some updates...

Our attendance has been climbing steadily at our Mini-Combz events. For a while, we were only seeing between 10-15 people show up, but have had in the mid-20's for the last few events. There have been many new faces show up recently, and of course several of the regulars from years' past are still with us. At the time of this writing, there is a total attendance of 22 at the January 23rd Mini-Combz. Because of the lack of decent new games out recently, the night has been mostly dominated by Warcraft 3 and CoD4. A few of us broke into a few matches of CoD5, but not many actually own it. Oh well, they say a true classic never dies. New patches/maps/addons add fresh sparks to our games at every event it seems, or sometimes someone just reinvents the way they play (6 on 1 War3 with MountainKing pulling the victory by himself? C'mon!!)

Catacombz, you say? When's the next big event? Well, as many of you know, we chose not to hold a Fall Catacombz event in 2008 due to low attendance. However, with the way things have been picking up, we have decided on a Spring event. Therefore, all of our eager fans can expect Catacombz 11 to emerge on May 30-31, 2009. Sign-ups will open approximately 2 months before the event, so watch the site to secure your seat. We are expecting to run several tournaments at this event including a 2 on 2 CoD 4 tourney, and perhaps a Warcraft 3 tourney of some sort. More to be decided later.

The main site isn't the only thing that's been dormant...our forums have been just the same. So I'd like to encourage each of you to chime in something, whether it's about current or upcoming events, or perhaps mindless banter in the General DIscussion area.

So, continue checking back on Catacombz.com on a regular basis, and we'll try to keep the site updated with new info on upcoming events and maybe even a fresh game or two for the arcade.
