(PS: This would be the post I have been running off of so far thus the reason I believe it will be cheaper)

oh dang, where'd you get that post from?

Through Noon PST (20:00 GMT) on Thursday, January 11, 2007, players can continue to compete in the Snowball Arena, farm the hell out of the holiday quests trying to get a polar bear, and dodge Grentchies in Kamadan and Lion's Arch.

The extension of the Wintersday Festival will afford players everywhere the opportunity to join the event, for many of them had extreme lag and disconnects.

Enjoy the Winterday Festivities for a few days longer, and we wish you all the best in the New Year!"

January 11th is a Sunday... not a Thursday and 2007 is kinda a year behind

check the bolded/lined/whatever line, do you think Anet would have said that that way? it was a joke post, no updates in the GW main page, and remember, that last year the wintersday was extended BECAUSE AN EARTHQUAKE IN TAIWAN (or somewhere) MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO THEM TO PLAY THE GAME, THE GRENTH WINNING WAS JUST SOMETHING TO PUT IT AS LORE... or something like that. (and this was said on some earlier posts)

illb et a polar bear (which i dont have) that theyll prolly say dwayna wins this year.

Ya they did, I put an Edit on the my previous post that stated that. Also explained a little more. The offical announcment should be soon I would think.

Edit: It does say if Grenth wins Wintersday will be extended. I do believe the first year Dwayna technically won so it was not legnthed. So if Grenth does win technically Wintersday should be extended.

It's not from this year. Whoever pointed out that the 11th is on a Sunday instead of a Thursday is right.

Saelis Scarfang · Jan 03, 2008, 05:37 AM // 05:37

So perhaps we should have taken Grenth's side to extend Winters, eh?

From Wiki:
Wintersday Event ended on January 6 at 8pm GMT.

Also from Wiki:
The Wintersday 2005 Update added a lot of content celebrating the holidays in Tyrian style. The celebration is centered around Wintersday, the Tyrian equivalent of New Year's and groundhog day. On this day a struggle between Dwayna and Grenth takes place to determine whether the day will be filled with joy and gift-exchange, or gloom and somber remembrance. According to legend, if Dwayna won, spring would come early, and if Grenth won, winter would last longer than usual.

So ya if Grenth wins it should be extended. Though it looks like Dwayna won that year and not Grenth so idk.

lol. I like the whole "it'll be worthless because you can farm it".

No, it really won't. It's already the rarest minipet. IF and only IF they extend the event, it will still be one of the rarest 5, as the droprates are so low. If they don't, then it'll be worth thousands of ecto.

Witchblade · Jan 03, 2008, 05:42 AM // 05:42

i guess it'll be when Wintersday guy will randomly push his button

Worthless? It won't be worthless, I have seen people still overpaying for Bone Dragons and such. And yes it still be one of the rarer ones.

Ya looks like it's all up to what the Wintersday people decide... hopefully they extend it.

you cant rlly compare with a 100k item overpaid 120, it's a joke
