Happy Wintersday 2007!

I might have to skip a few Christmas parties on Earth, but I’ll be sure to attend the Holiday celebrations on Tyria. Happy Wintersday to all Guild Wars players.

This is the first Wintersday with Eye of the North, so I can’t wait to run the new festival quests in the (previously) Secret Lair of the Snowmen. I like to hang out in that dungeon, so I’d love to see what’s in store there for the Holidays.

Guild Wars GameStop Holiday Ad

I like ads that demonstrate an understanding of what they’re selling. In Guild Wars Eye of the North, Ogden Stonehealer is grumpy, Pyre Fierceshot is angry, and Vekk is boastful. They’re all portrayed hilariously in this Holiday machinima ad for GameStop. Yes, we actually do celebrate Christmas in Guild Wars — where we more accurately call it Wintersday. Download the high-quality version of this ad here.

In related news, Eye of the North is now open to beginners. Join me up north and I’ll show you a big-ass frozen dragon.
