Some games see some major popularity and end up fading out, others get even bigger over time and keep snowballing, gathering even more fans as time goes by and improving their formula to perfection. There’s a little bit of luck involved in the difference between those two, but mostly it’s about proper engagement from the developers. If a company shows that it cares for its community and keeps bringing that community together, they usually see a lot of success in the long run.
“Clash of Clans” has been on the rise ever since it came out, and the game is currently one of the most popular titles on the mobile market. It combined elements from several popular genres very successfully and ended up a huge hit among players of all ages and genders. The developers have been pretty active in releasing updates and new content for the game too, which has defined part of its ability to succeed for so long.
And now, those who want to get together with some of their fellow players and discuss the game in real life can do so at the upcoming first ever convention for “Clash of Clans” – titled ClashCon, it will be held on October 24 in Helsinki, Finland, and will last for the whole day, giving fans various exciting opportunities to interact with their comrades as well as prominent figures in the game’s community.
It’s not a cheap event by any means – tickets are priced at around 100 Euro, and seem to be running out fast – but it should definitely offer fans a lot to see and do, especially those who enjoy the community feeling of the game and got attracted because of those fan interactions in the first place.
It’s also worth noting that tickets are aimed at legal adults, although we wouldn’t be surprised if there are plenty of younger fans attending the event as well. After all, the game is quite popular among people of all ages and it’s been very successful at bridging the gaps between certain groups of gamers, so it’s entirely possible that the convention will be a more diverse event.
Among the more interesting features of the upcoming ClashCon, fans are going to get some in-depth discussions about the game’s strategy as well as future plans for its development. Some prominent community figures will step forward to speak about different ways to play the game as well, and it sounds like there will be a lot of focus on discussing strategy and different gameplay tactics.
Which shouldn’t be surprising, as this is a strategy game in the first place and its popularity is based entirely on the concept of coming up with creative ways to defeat the opponent. The community loves to discuss that as well, and a convention like this should be the perfect opportunity to get some of the most creative minds together to brainstorm new tactics and develop new ideas for playing.
Of course, there will be plenty of free goodies as well, and those who want to get some game-themed gear will have plenty of opportunities for that at the convention, with various types of rewards that will be handed out to people attending. Among the things we’ve seen confirmed are t-shirts that will be handed out to everyone attending, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Attendants will get even more for their tickets, so it definitely sounds like something every “Clash of Clans” fan will want to check out.
