EVE Online | Fan Fest 2005

	Yes, it´s finally here, video coverage of some of the things that went on at the 2005 Fanfest. Unfortunatly the footage filmed by the professional cameracrew at our fanfest was unusable so we had to divert to a video shot by one of our staff members. Therefore you might experience problems with audio quality on some of the footage. But hey, you should have been there anyway! The videos are in cronological order (except Hilmar Keynote) and are from the first day of the Fanfest.
