Am I the only one who believes that if in Canada, it should be in Vancouver? I feel it would provide a larger PC game fan base with Valve being located in Seattle just south of the border and Vancouver is frankly just full of gamers..
To be honest, I would love Minecon to be held in Australia for once! It's always in America, I would love to go to America one day though! But like I said, maybe it should be in Australia.
I'm not just saying this because I live in Australia but I would think it would be such a great experience. In my opinion... Minecon should be held in Brisbane.
These are my thoughts.
Sorry if I sound rude, but how many Minecons do you think there have been? There have only been 2. ONE in the United States, and ONE in France, meaning that Minecon is not "always" in the USA.
I suggest that you make in canada MINECON because it is a beautiful site.I would not like to be made in Australia because it is not very convenient. For my opinion the MINECON must be made in Japan or Canada .

It is very inconvinient for the majority of the world to get to Australia.
Canada might be a good place, but we need to think about another place where at least everyone has a chance to go. Well, that is probably impossible, but still. I'd like to go to Canada but I, and others, will have some trouble getting $5,000.00 tickets to Toronto or Vancouver. I, and maybe others, may have a chance to go around the summer. Around early August where everyone is going on vacation. I'm going to England for the summer and I heard they sell plane tickets to Toronto, how much do they cost actually?

In my opinion. Minecon 2013 should be in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. First of all if it is in Canada which makes it easy for me and many others to get to. Second, I agree that canada is a great place because most minecraft players know english and Canada is English and french. then, Many minectcraft play in the USA so toronto would be a very close place for them to drive to (from Niagra Falls to Toronto-2 hours). I agree to all of the factors that you have stated. I really hope Minecon 203 will be in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!
Nice geography explaination...I agree with this geography explaination.For me,by car:2-4 days (I will be taking the plane)plane:6-8 hours (wish I had one)jet:4 hours,this is actually the same for all my friends...XD thank you MegaCraft22
In Toronto they have a giant convention centre right next to the CN tower (where they held fan expo) and like everyone up there said its the perfect place for Minecon 2013!!!!!!!
Canada would be so nice. I wasnt able to go to the 2011 con, (I was a n00b), and college kinda makes it hard to get to France for two days, but if it was in Canada, I could make it across the border from Washington, (not DC) and get back without spending too much. But, if we compromise a little, and have it in canada, but closer to the west coast, more people from Japan might be able to make it. (Japanese fans are really extreme)

Your brain is so powerful, it would take a state of the art computer the size of a factory to come even close to matching the processing power.

The Rogers Center! That would be a great place! And as stated before, the CN tower would get a lot of attention!
I would choose The Rogers Center over Canada's Wonderland becuause 1, Canada's Wonderland is only a good place to go in the summer, and 2, it's more of an attraction itself rather than a location to host an attraction.
So, where exactly is Minecon 2013 going to be held? That's a question that I hear floating around the forums a lot, and I hear a lot of arguments over where it should be... Well, where is an ideal location? Here are some factors that we must take into play.
1.) We had Minecraft 2011 in the United States, and we're having Minecraft 2012 in France, so we should let others have a chance to get a Minecon.
Since everything's fairly close together in Europe, and since Minecraft originated from Sweeden, I think it's likely we'll have another one there soon, so I think other places should get the opportunity to experience it.
2.) The highest density of Minecraft users are in (Not including United States or Europe)
Canada
Eastern Asia
Australia
3.) How difficult it is to travel around the places
Canada - Good
Eastern Asia - Mediocre
Australia - Mediocre (Only because it's good transportation covers such a small land mass.)
4.) Concentrations. Let's say Mojang chose Canada. They should know where in Canada they should go. I think they should choose a very populated area without being too crowded.
Canada - Toronto, Ontario
Eastern Asia - Tokyo, Japan
Australia - Sydney, New South Wales
5.) Accessibility to other high density Minecraft user areas.
Canada - Toronto is very close to the border of the United States meaning that a lot of people from both Canada and the United States can have a chance to go, and it's still not very far away for people from Japan.
Eastern Asia - Japan is fairly far away from North America and Australia, but it's on the other side of the planet from Europe, making it the opposite of ideal since the Minecraft population density isn't very .
Australia - Australia is very isolated, making it fairly hard for anyone to go to a Minecon there from North America, but somewhat okay for Japan or Eastern Asia..
6.) Language. More than 60% of Minecraft users can speak English, making Japan a very unreasonable place to hold a Minecon, for less than 8% of the people who play Minecraft speak Japanese.
In conclusion, Toronto, Ontario, Canada would be a very ideal location for Minecon 2013 because it is near the United states, allowing at least 2 countries to experience a Minecon, Toronto, Ontario is very dense with the Minecraft population, and Canada has a very organized transportation.
These seem like the most logical factors and places we should have Minecon 2013 at. If you have any other factors or places that you would wish for me to take into account, please state your location/factor and give a good reason why that location/factor should be taken into account.
Don't forget to vote for where you think Minecon 2013 should be held above, or give another location/factor to take into account. Thanks!
I vote for us or canada cus i want to go to minecon So bad and nerver get to go i wish it would be here in the us or canada but i know other users are everywere i just want to GO!
If Minecon 2013 is in Toronto I would be sooooo happy. I want to meet the MindCrackers and I live a 20 minute drive away from Toronto! Contrary to popular belief, it isn't that cold here in November XD
Australia: Defiantly plus most of the other replys aggree
Yes it is because there communists it would be way to hard
You aren't taking into account how difficult it is to get to Australia, plus the cost just to stay somewhere for a short time. I think Toronto would be best because it is close to MANY minecrafters, and it wont be that much of an inconvenience for people to get there
:]
I personally think the 2013 one should be in New York City. MUCH of Minecraft's fans are located there. There are TONS of people in my school (and neighboring ones) that play Minecraft.

You (and many others, not trying to single you out) aren't taking into account how difficult it would be to get to Canada for some people. Not everyone lives in North America and since Minecon only accepts around 5000 people anyway so geographical location isn't that bigger an issue.

No, there has never, ever been a sandbox game with a story or ending... except Grand Theft Auto... and Saints Row... and Red Dead Redemption... and Crack Down... and Assassins Creed...
I think Minecon 2013 should be held in Sydney, Australia because;
1. Sydney has other great things to do such as the opera house and the harbour bridge, so if people from around the world come they have more to do than just mincon so they don't only spend money on minecon and they can have a holiday.
2. I live around Sydney and have been there heaps and absolutely love everything. and anyone else that thinks minecon should be in australia post and shout out for AUSTRALIA!!!!!!

Adding New Stuff to Minecraft since 2012!
Not very exact at all actually

It is very inconvinient for the majority of the world to get to Australia.
According to a random ticket website I found in the past 5 minutes specificly for this question (http://www.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/Toronto/London/?source=intl-CFCA-search), it staggers around 470 pounds, or 750 Dollars.
...You haven't been to Toronto, have you...
Hmm... I don't knkow if you're the banana I'm thinking of... You're probably near Toronto, and your username is banana...

Canada - Toronto, Ontario
or
Canada - Niagra Falls, Ontario
