Ghryphon · Nov 02, 2007, 09:45 PM // 21:45

Christmas

Thanksgiving gets ignored

**cosyfiep** · Nov 02, 2007, 09:55 PM // 21:55

there is no christmas for gw.....
its called wintersday..(http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Wintersday)...

christmas is RL.
sometime in december or january.

darkk wound · Nov 02, 2007, 09:59 PM // 21:59

meh who cares ! christmas is same as wintersday

RPGmaniac · Nov 02, 2007, 10:04 PM // 22:04

I don't think they redecorate Kaineng and Shing Jea for Christmas (Wintersday for you pc people).

It should be the dragon festival.

gremlin · Nov 02, 2007, 10:22 PM // 22:22

I would guess winterfest end of December then the Canthan New year in February.
I would have to look up the other festivals.

As for thanksgiving its always puzzled me that we don't celebrate it here in the UK.
It is the time when those boring people who wore black hated dancing singing and fun of any kind left the country.

We should celebrate it too.

Kamatsu · Nov 02, 2007, 10:28 PM // 22:28

Well, according to GW wiki, Kaining Center / Faction's did not have anything to do with Wintersday 2006.. So most likely wont have anything to do with it this year either

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Wintersday_2006

Next holiday for Faction's will most likely be Canthan New Year 2008, held around mid-late February. It comes before the Dragon Festival, which takes place around July.

Yeah... iirc the next Factions holiday is Chinese... errr... Canthan New Year. The Chinese year 4706 (Year of the Rat) begins on Feb 7 2008. That's a Thursday. So... we will probably celebrate the Canthan New Year the next day through that Sunday... Feb 8 - 11.

So... are we all eagerly looking forward to mini rat pets?

**cosyfiep** · Nov 02, 2007, 10:32 PM // 22:32

yeah factions got left out for that wintersday but next year is the year of the RAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (cant wait to have a little me running around with my pet!!)

Eww dude that is totally disgusting! I hope i can make it, im Chinese so i actually celebrate the new year :-)... Hopefully i will be like a mini dragon and tiger instead and then they would fight whenever seeing each other. Maybe Dragons for the luxons and tigers for the kurzicks :-).... That would be soo much better

Also yes the next holiday is Wintersday, probably the most fun event, since the mini games are VERY interesting.

RPGmaniac · Nov 02, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

Thanks for correcting me, it should be the Canthan New Year.

Wow... yeah you'd probably have to be Chinese to know that the dragon (rain) and tiger (wind) fight... and that's why we have storms. I'm not Chinese, but I'm interested in ancient Chinese history mostly around the Neolithic period and the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the Warring States period too since that's when Chinese philosophy really started to take hold and germinate.

The OP asked about Factions holidays. And Wintersday isn't celebrated in Factions. Maybe he doesn't have Prophecies or NF. And, if not, maybe you've just given him some encouragement to buy it.

Onarik Amrak · Nov 03, 2007, 04:16 AM // 04:16

I doubt they'll reopen the boardwalk between now and Wintersday.

Probably because of the BMP to keep us occupied.

gremlin · Nov 03, 2007, 09:42 AM // 09:42

Year of the Rat well I wouldnt mind a mini rat pet closely followed next year by

mini Ox in 2009 and Tiger in 2010
There may be an explosion of Rabbits to follow that

King Zeth · Nov 03, 2007, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Yea dude thats totally awesome! Props to you, I think Chinese history is pretty cool too, although it doesn't say much since im Chinese and its my own culture, but cool nonetheless..

Anyways, there are going to be a lot of holidays and maybe even new ones this year since we had things like dragon festival redux and stuff

King Zeth · Nov 08, 2007, 10:51 PM // 22:51
