Lunar Fortunes name changed? - Guild Wars Forums

Roland of Gilead · Feb 02, 2008, 12:00 AM // 00:00

I still have 2 stacks of lunar fortunes in my inventory, and recently I noticed their full name reads "Lunar Fortune [Year of the Pig]". I think this has been a rather recent change, no? If so, then it's a pretty strong indication to me that Canthan New Year will make its return in 2008. Has that been confirmed by official sources?

BladeWind · Feb 02, 2008, 12:04 AM // 00:04

I'd say that probability of our celebrating the Canthan New Year is close to 100%. Ooooh, Dragon Nest, here I come!

This quote came from here by the way.

I hope that the new Fortunes will then have new effects or at least a working lucky aura, otherwise the only effect of individual names would be that the stacks are incompatible...

Awe, if it was year of the monkey then we could get a Miniature Monkey.

Um it's pretty much almost common sense that they will do another Canthan new year event.

slowerpoke · Feb 02, 2008, 12:26 AM // 00:26

So that means our old tokens are now unuseable?

Skyy High · Feb 02, 2008, 12:45 AM // 00:45

Lunar Tokens != Lunar Fortunes

They prolly changed the name of the fortunes so people wouldn't get scammed, thinking they're buying new fortunes...and then they get a mini pig out of it.
