And New Zealand, Pacific Islands, South America, Indonesia, other African countries. Crikey, there's a lot of countries below the equator - fancy that, all those natives in need of spiritualizing and colonizing.

July 17 is . . . . National Peach Ice Cream Day
July 18 is . . . . National Ice Cream Day and National Caviar Day
July 19 is . . . . Flitch Day

I've never met a player beneath the equater that wasn't from SA or Aus. I'm not geographically retarded, I just thought distribution was limited to select countries.

Absolultely hilarious. I wonder whether the gifts you get for the snowball arena will be altered so that they don't drop Candy Cane Shards...

I know I'm gonna get me my Snowball Arena on! Skillz here I come!

>.> I have bad luck.

My main computer has a few issues that need to get fixed, so I'll be spending Wintersday in July with a crappy desktop that gives 15 FPS...

And I already had to do that during the Dragon Festival...

I believe this will be the coolest weekend ever. I hope this starts more of "thinking out of the box" type ideas for weekend events. I'm all for it, this is really great.

Why do you say this? I am assuming the usual wintersday drops will be included and the usual collectors also, based on the wording of the announcement and common sense. Why are some of you thinking not?

It doesn't say anything about collectors and quests. It mentions the arena and special drops. \O_o/
