Guild Wars Wintersday 2007 Finale
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!

Even though they’ve broken up, it’s good to see they can still work together for a common cause. The original Galacticast duo protests the looming Canadian DMCA with a nod to A Christmas Carol. Dig the Star Wars and Donnie Darko references.
The American DMCA is a terrible piece of legislation, horribly skewed towards the corporate interests of offline media. It’s so bad, it’s been steadily taken apart over time. May other countries never pass such a stupid law.

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.
