    Brandon, I know this is probably out of your hands but that site to get the tickets was the worst experience I've ever seen. The ticket was in my cart and I was then stuck in an endless loop of being told to log in despite being logged in. Knowing I had the vip and seeing it disappear because of a bad site is the worst feeling.

    Stinks how bad Tabletop dropped the ball on the Dragonsteel Nexus ticket event. Site crashed horribly over and over. Wasn’t able to checkout with VIP tickets. Thankfully was finally able to get a regular ticket, although that didn’t go through till there were 700 left. And I was at my computer ready 10 minutes before the sale started.

    Just hopping in here to throw my comment that tabletop was BRUTAL. Getting kicked, "you have to be logged in to do that" after logging in like 30 times. It was a stressful loop especially seeing the number of the badges dropped. Started the process with 1500 regular badges left and finished it with just under 300 left. Got my regular badges and super happy about it, but man I hope the site is better next year.

    Awesome update, but I am just going to vent here for bit.
    I am disappointed with Tabletop Events, I have a VIP ticket in my cart ( was right there and logged in at 10am ), but it force logs me out and doesn't allow me to check out. Very disappointed at not being able to attend this year. I know it's not Brandon's/Dragonsteel's fault, but on the software end at Tabletop Events, they should have planned and prepared better.
    Edit and Update: I was able to get my VIP ticket and some general admission tickets for my friend and his fiancé as their wedding gift. We are excited to attend and can’t wait until December.
    I’m going to leave the original comment, because I believe that it should serve as a reminder to those hosting websites need to rent out more server space when Brandon Sanderson decides to use your website. We all want a fair shot, and if this keeps happening ( server and website issues ), we will not be happy.

    Really frustrating experience with table top games web site. As soon as 10 AM hit, I was refreshing, trying to buy 2 VIP badges. The site totally fell down and kept prompting me to log in (even though I was logged in!). All I could do was watch helplessly as the VIP badge count dwindled. I managed to score 1 of them but had to get just a normal badge for my son (who dearly wanted a VIP badge also). Didn't they know that there would be a surge in site traffic at 10 AM?

    Gotta say, trying to buy a badge was a horrific experience. Two friends and I were planning on getting VIP badges, and we couldn't even get access to the site before they sold out. Then we couldn't log in, then we very nearly missed out on just a General Admission badge. We have hotels and flights already purchased. To have the actual badges be so difficult to actually obtain was... stressful.

    I have not felt as disappointed at the letdown regarding buying event tickets as I do today. As I’m sure many of you also did, I clicked buy VIP badge at the exact same time as my friends did exactly when the buy badges buttons appeared. Only 3/5 VIP badges secured for our friend group purely out of luck battling that broken website and terrible fan experience. We barely got the other 2 of us general admission badges and swag/book bundles. I battled SDCC tickets for 5 years, and somehow this felt 10x more disappointing and unfair. Please fix this next time! Also, if there’s some way to prioritize any refunded VIP tickets first to GA ticket holders as an upgrade option before releasing to general public, that’d mean the world. 😢❤

      I know others weren’t able to get tickets at all, so I don’t mean to come off ungrateful. I am lucky my partner was able to get us one VIP and one GA ticket as I wasn’t able to get it to work on my end at all in the end to even get myself a ticket.

And I saved up so much just for site to die constantly and deny tickets for over half a hour until eventually both general and VIP were gone.

    Ok, I'm glad that I wasn't the only person who had a terrible experience trying to get badges today, but I'm sorry to those of you who weren't able to get anything. This was by far my most stressful experience trying to get high demand tickets of any kind, and I survived the Ticketmaster catastrophe that was getting Taylor Swift Tickets in Nov 2022. I did end up being able to get two general admission tickets for me and my SO after about 35 minutes of being run around, redirected, and logged out over, and over, and over again. But early on I lost the ONE VIP ticket that I wanted when I was redirected to another login page (which btw, I was logged in and ready to go before it even opened). While I'm not specifically placing blame anywhere (I'm sure Dragonsteel wasn't to blame, and the host site probably didn't know the high volume of traffic they would encounter), I would love for there to not be a repeat of this for other Dragonsteel events. That majorly sucked.

    I think a storm light anime would be cooler than a movie or live action show. Different media lean to different strengths. Books are great for getting into character headspace, live action is great for verisimilitude, and animation is great for over the top visual fantasy. I feel the cosmere is strongest for the character arcs and how the characters process difficult emotional challenges, so books capture that best. Second, cosmere books have amazing over the top action in fantastical settings, great for animation. I really don't turn to them for verisimilitude echoing real life.
