This past weekend Tennocon, Warframe developer Digital Extremes' enormous annual event, moved online for the first time. It's normally a huge in-person jamboree, with over 2,000 of the game's fans - aka Framers or Tenno - attending last year's event in London, Ontario, where Digital Extremes is based.
It's the highlight of the Warframe calendar, packed with epic reveals about forthcoming game content, loads of fan service, and events throughout the day that make some of us a little over-giddy. Warframe's community consists of not only ardent gamers, but engaged cosplayers, fan fiction writers, poets, artists, and there's even a whole substrata of Hentai featuring the game's heroes getting it on. Suffice it to say, the community that Digital Extremes has served over the years is engaged and effusive.
That's quite tough to replicate online, especially when thousands look forward to the physical event as a way to share and commune with their fellow space ninjas. So I had no idea what was about to happen...
