Christmas / Holiday Event?

[Lhancelot]

Just curious if Braknar and the team have anything planned for Christmas or New Years, regarding an event? I know it's mighty close since the last one, so I don't expect one but figured I would ask. Thanks!

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Definition of a gift horse;

"A gift horse is a horse that was a gift, quite simply. When given a horse, it would be bad manners to inspect the horse's mouth to see if it has bad teeth. This can be applied as an analogy to any gift: Don't inspect it to make sure it matches some standard you have, just be grateful!"

I am asking about a possible event for the next holiday, I am not complaining about something I have been given nor am I unappreciative of the past event(s) created.

What about a Greek Gift Horse?

A Christmas event would be nice but most likely won't happen. People have families. So hosting a Christmas event would be rather difficult.

Maybe not a GM event, but someone else might have something planned ...

Why don't you plan something with your family and friends for Christmas instead?

I need something to do in between the pseudo Santa Claus present opening stuff and X-mas dinner ya feelers? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Due to the flagrant perfidy of certain individuals, I vote to perma illusion them as grinches.

Why do they let accounts less than a year old post...?

Why not a player run event? We make our own fun.

I suggest an ogre named Kevin James for the role of Santa Claus

I rather see one of the guides script an event, and create the actual Grinch as part of the event. Of course due to copyright reasons, it would probably have to be The Greench, not "Grinch" but still!

They could just use a goblin as The Greench, maybe add a X-mas hat? For Santa Claus (we could call him Perma Claus) they could dress an ogre up in X-mas clothing, and give him a beard, or maybe just go with a barbarian they already sport the proper look!

Possible scenario could be to simply stop The Greench from killing Perma Claus while he is delivering his goods across Norrath. It could be one of those escort kind of deals, where Santa is moving from one part of Norrath to the other, and The Greench with minions is attacking him.

The players would have to kill the Greench and his minions, The Greench actually requiring a raid at the end of it. The minions could be much weaker mobs that have a chance to drop random rare items or just novelty items while The Greench in the end would require a raid. Of course The Greench would drop some nice stuff!

Depending how long Perma Claus lived, and if he made it to his final destination, those who took part in the event would get rewards based on Perma Claus's survival.

They could run the event a few times through the holiday, seeing it's not complicated and to try to accomodate people with families so everyone got a chance to take part in the event. It would be relaitvely short, and fun this way.

Anyway that's my idea for the event. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
