Those areas aren't the easiest place to travel to from around the world. There are not any large airports in that area. In Las Vegas, LAX was not very far away. In Paris, The Paris airport is large as well. Orlando has the Miami Airport and Atlanta Airport. Place such as London and NYC are easy because they are right by the airports.
hmmm let me think of a few in Virginia DC and Maryland, Dullus airport, Baltimore airport, Annapolis airport Ronald Reagan international airport and Richmond airport(that's all I can think of at the moment. Want me to ad more? Dc only has 1 airport because its like 20 miles long and wide. Virginia has tons of airports and so does Maryland. As mappy said, they are trying to get more people, not the same all the time
Although Mojang will try to reach out to americans, they should start with Australia, then asia, move onto africa then finish in uk, then go to america and europe again. That is my own opinion.
It's obvious that it won't be in Asia or Australia, because they are too hard to travel to. They would never host it in Virginia and Maryland for reasons I have stated before. Compared to London, NYC , Orlando and Paris, it's just not a very popular tourist place. Europe is most likely to host it. London and NYC were my two top choices. It's been tough deciding which one would be better, but I have my bid. London seems like the most logical place. Not only for pattern's sake, but it's just easy for Mojang to travel to European countries.
one place i'd like: BOSTOOOOOOOOOOOOON! not likely, but possible. the conv. center is pretty big. but NYC would be fine for me. i wouldn't mind the drive at all.
Too hard to travel? Aeroplane. There are a lot of gamers in australia, plus new zealand, so it would be awesome to have it in Australia. Just because we are not a big country doesn't mean only 50 minecrafters are going to minecon in Australia. There will be similar amount to paris minecon.
Not a big tourist place heh? Ok maybe not Maryland but Virginia and dc are DEFINITLY tourists places and how? 1.Where the US first president was born. 2Where 7 other of our presidents were born 3.In Alexandria there are a lot of monuments 4.Dc is our nation capital 5.Whitehouse 6.museums 7.capital 8.Verizon center
No offence, but America? Really? There were already TWO Minecons held there, so why a third one? Anyway, Canada deserves Minecon! :)
im going with europe because of the fanbase that they have (may not be as big as america) but somwhere in europe would be nice (maybe the uk?)
Australia has the deadliest animals, like snakes and spiders, waiting to kill you It also has endermen, be scared
