Ahh, unfortunately it seems quite a few others have had the same problem regarding getting into the map. I am really sorry to hear you weren't able to come but you are right there is always the next!
As for the AMV activity, I totally can get behind this. I think an official FeralHeart AMV can go a long way with advertising, etc. As there is no updated one as of recent yes? I would love to see the community AMV makers getting involved with this and working together. I would be happy to get involved in the video myself. Nice idea!
