Wintersday
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.
Happy Wintersday!
I’m celebrating the sanitized Saturnalia you call Christmas in the game world of Guild Wars, where we call it something more straightforward: Wintersday.
This Christmas, forget the fairy tales about Santa Claus and Baby Jesus. Saint Nicholas of Myra is long dead, and the philosopher Jesus of Nazareth was born in September. Celebrate this Holiday Season for what it has always been since the days when winter gave people an excuse to break free from the daily grind of working in the fields, long before the Christian church and big business bastardized and exploited it: a time to cast off the yoke of social norms, a time to go wild.
In other words, it’s time to play.
