14 years later, NosTale is breaking its live event hiatus at Gamescom 2026

Did anyone else see the official announcement? If I remember correctly, this marks the first time the official NosTale team has made a dedicated public appearance at a convention in exactly 14 years.

The last time they did anything like this was early in 2012 at the DeDeCo convention and the Leipzig Book Fair. Back then, attendees were handed custom mouse pads, codes for exclusive redeemable items, and what looks like physical PC CD game boxes of NosTale. After that, the physical footprint completely vanished.

Why is Gameforge suddenly breaking the 14-year hiatus to return to Cologne this August?

I just put together a full historical breakdown on our independent, community-backed boards to connect the dots between the massive Act 10 content expansions, the sudden surge in concurrent players from the temporary NosFire servers, and how Gameforge is riding the success wave of this dimensional saga straight onto the floor of Gamescom 2026.

If you want to read the full analysis and check out the old 2012 archival footage, you can read the thread on NosClassic here: NosTale heads to Gamescom 2026 for its first in-person meetup in 14 years | NosClassic

Suche jemanden für die Gamescom!

Hi!

Ich bin 15 Jahre alt und gehe dieses Jahr leider alleine zur Gamescom, weil ich niemanden habe, mit dem ich hingehen kann.

Ich cosplaye sunna aus zzz und würde mich freuen jemanden kennen zu lernen, mit dem man zusammen über die Messe laufen,Fotos machen und einfach einen schönen Tag verbringen kann! Ich gehe Samstag und Sonntag

Ein bisschen zu mir: ich bin eine ruhige,offene und entspannte Person ich rede total gerne und kann mich gut anpassen Ich interessiere mich für Gaming und Cosplay, aber auch sonst eigentlich für ziemlich vieles, also kann man über fast alles mit mir reden.

Falls du auch alleine zur Gamescom gehst oder jemanden suchst, kannst du mir gerne schreiben. Ich würde mich wirklich freuen jemanden zu finden mit dem ich gehen kann!

Purchasing second hand ticket

So I bought two tickets for the ONL, got the epasses, the tickets with the qr code and the invoice too. The epasses got added to my Google wallet and I also successfully transferred the tickets to my account using the gamescom transfer ticket website.

I was unsure if it was correct like this, so I contacted the support and they said that we need to purchase new ones because these tickets are not on our names, despite me being able to transfer them to my account.

So what should I do now?

looking for cosplay friends

Hi ! As the title suggests, we're looking to meet some fellow cosplayers to hang around with, or something around Gamescom. By we I mean, my friend and I. We're adults (21) so it would be cool if we found some adult cosplayers to show us the German scene cs we're coming from afar. This post is so messy but I hope I got my point across 😔

Going solo to Gamescom 2026 – anyone else?

Hey everyone!

I'll probably be at Gamescom (Wed–Fri) on my own this year.

Normally I don't mind exploring by myself, but I thought it might be nice to meet a few people for a coffee, lunch, or to queue for a game together if our interests overlap.

I'm not looking for a huge group (social battery says no 😅), just some chill people who also enjoy wandering around Gamescom.

If that sounds like you, feel free to comment or send me a message!

Ermäßigungsticket und Tipps

Hallöchen

Wir sind eine Truppe aus 4 Leuten und gehen dieses Jahr das erste Mal zur Gamescom.

Meine erste frage wäre zu den Ermäßigungstickets.

Reicht z.b eine Schulbescheinigung? Meine Schule stellt leider keine Schülerausweis aus somit habe ich eben nur eine Schulbescheinigung.

Die zweite Frage wäre was sind die bestens Tipps für Leute die nicht nie da waren? Auf was sollte man achten usw?

Anyone going to Gamescom for the ALIEN STAGE event???

I see a lot of people begging for an EU pop up event for Alien stage but now that they announced one I haven't really seen anyone talking about it? I just wanna know if there is anyone else who's a fan going for this event. I personally am going just for this pop up event cuz it's been a dream of mine to go to an official alien stage event and buy a lot of merch to support my favorite series but since this con is much more about video games I'm also worried about seeming out of place? (don't know much about gamescom since it's my first time going and going to germany in general so any tips would be appreciated...)

Frage: Wird die Gamescom schlechter jedes Jahr?

Das ist keine Kritik, sondern eine echte Frage.

Ich bin damals manchmal zu Gamescoms bis 2015 gegangen und die waren lustig und hatten viele gute Spiele im Angebot zum testen.

Aber seitdem scheint es mir, dass immer und immer wieniger große Spieleentwickler dahin gehen oder Sachen nicht angekündigt werden. Und als ob es immer mehr zu einem Treffen von Influencern und "Tech" Besuchern ist.

Stimmt dies oder irre ich mich da?
Denn damals konnte ich jedes mal mindestens 10 spiele finden, die mich stark interessierten, wäre aber mittlerweile froh über 5 interessante Spiele. Nicht mal von dem starken Preisanstieg im Vergleich zu früher.

Wie finde ich GDQ auf der GC?

Hallo ihr Lieben,

in einer Ankündigung der vergangenen Wochen wurde geschrieben, dass Games done quick auf der GC26 sein wird. In der Mail steht in welcher Halle dies stattfindet. Ich finde GCD ziemlich cool und würde es mir gerne mal anschauen, aber weiß absolut nicht wo das stattfinden soll. Kann mir jemand helfen?
