Actually, I did go to two larger parties, one small private party, and a mini "on the floor" party while I was at E3. But, honestly, I don't think I would have gone to parties on Thursday and Friday even if there were invites floating around out there for me.
As it was I decided not to pressure myself to get to the convention hall the second it opened anyway. There was plenty there to see, but frazzling myself to get there and then having to deal with the crowd wouldn't really have improved the experience for me.
And, despite the tone of the comic hints, SOE treated me quite well and even extended an invitation to attend the "Community Summit" (on my own dime of course) before the upcoming FanFaire, despite my not really participating in community activities of late.
Sure, I still have some grievances with the games. I firmly believe communication could still be better. And that SOE needs to refocus its efforts on strengthening bonds with their playerbase. But, it was nice to see that that hadn't completely dismissed GU as I thought they had.
But, I'll keep my skeptic shirt on... just in case.
