For some time now, two major LAN party organizers have been competing, to hold the title for the largest attended event in the world. “The Gathering”, which resides in the small town of Hamar, two hours from Oslo, Norway have been competing with the Sweden based DreamHack LAN who came out on top through last years events. During this Easter holiday, over 5,200 computer lovers packed themselves into their Olympic ice skating arena which was home for the 1994 winter Olympics.

Allowing all ages, sizes, groups, just about anyone who wishes to spend $100 for a 2.5 feet square table, power outlet and switch port for the entire 5 day computer frenzy. The organizers also stated they will not compete with DreamHack in the future as they believe 5,200 attendees are “enough”. Check out what the Norwegians get up to in their spare time!
