Guild Wars Canthan New Year 2008
Right after the Chinese New Year, Guild Wars players celebrate the Canthan New Year. My primary character hails from the Europe-inspired continent of Tyria, but he’s always ready to party on any continent. Here he is, wearing a lion mask and Asian-inspired Luxon armor, enjoying a fireworks-lit feast at Shing Jea.
To welcome the Year of the Rat, I got a miniature celestial rat. Here it is, third from left, displayed with some of my other miniatures.
From whimsical quests to rollerbeetle racing, check out some of the Canthan New Year 2008 festivities. Kung hei fat choi, everyone!

I spent part of my New Year’s Day at the Guild Wars Wintersday 2007 finale. I got both Dwayna’s and Grenth’s festival hats — but mostly supported Grenth, because I want winter to last longer. For the cold!
In 2007, two big online games hit the Philippines — EVE Online and Lineage II. In 2008, we might even see Ragnarok Online 2. Here’s to another great year for Filipino gamers!

I rarely see other Guild Wars Collector’s Edition owners. Fortunately, the Wintersday snowball fights attract players of all skill levels, including veteran connoisseurs. That’s where a female elementalist and my female warrior made sparks fly, using the hallmark of the Collector’s Edition: Divine Aura. Coincidentally, we even wore complementary Wintersday colors.
I probably won’t see another Collector’s Edition owner for months, much less dance with one in matching seasonal colors. May your Holiday season on Earth be as delightfully serendipitous as my Wintersday season on Tyria.
