Default No love for Cantha?
The following is concerned for those with Factions only.

I was startled when Anet didn't give Kaineng Center any design for Halloween, but now that they can't have a Christmas?! Sorry, but I think that's just unfair, seeing as Tyria gets 3 towns decorated, I can't see why Cantha gets 0 decorated. I'm not ranting because I have factions only (I have all three), it's just that it feels unfair to Canthans.

Thoughts on the matter?

P.S. Frozen Glob of Ectoplasm...I smell a scam...(change the name)

What?

Sure, the place is asian THEMED but most of the players there are american...

You guys don't care...just cause you've got prophecies and/or nightfall...

You wouldn't know what Kaineng would look like, it's up to Anet to decide that.

why two posts? one in Q&A and one here?

I love Cantha, it's my favorite continent. Just for fun, A-net should completely reverse Cantha, just as a special event. Instead of looking looking all run-down, they should make it look like a utopia from the future.

Also, I think they are going to do something for Chinese New Year, so keep your eyes peeled.

The one in Q&A was by mistake. And if you're right about Chinese New Year, that would be awesome.

But still, like I said before most people there are american and DO celebrate Christmas.

I like your concept of the known world.. does that mean if you're playing on the American server you should have Christmas in Keineng, but if you're on the Asian server (one of them) you shouldn't get Christmas in Tyria, because Asia doesn't have Christmas?

I thought it was specific to continents and what the continents are based on. Btw, its Wintersday, not Christmas which Tyria celebrates..

They can still do Christmas. I'm just saying that it would be really nice to see Chinese New Year played out by A-net. Something new for them, ya know?

What are you people talking about? Many Japanese people, for example (since Cantha is designed heavily after Japan) celebrate Christmas.

Not that any of that matters: it's not Christmas, it's Wintersday. Simply put, Cantha doesn't celebrate Wintersday. Keep in mind, they are South of even Elona, which means they are in the Southern hemisphere of this planet, most likely. That means while it's all cold and winter-wonderland-ish in Tyria, it's summertime in Cantha (while Elona experiences year-round hot equator action).

Besides, Cantha gets the Dragon Festival and Day of the Tengu.

Yeah it's not Christamas.. it's Wintersday. I think Cantha should have Wintersday but I really don't care since I have Prophices and Nightfall.

If I thought that Factions was more than a ghost town for those finishing missions I would really go to bat on this. As it stands though it seems like a waste of time and resources to decorate a place that has no one in it -_- (However I don't think that is the point really.)

I'm willing to be wrong on this, but I wonder if its not very much like Halloween was, where Asian countries don't celebrate it and therefor it's not included in Cantha. I think Anet will have its own special things for Cantha just as it does for Elona and Tyria, so lets just wait and see eh? Besides we don't know what "special" events of Elona will spread over into Cantha or vice versa - food for thought folks.
ALSO it's not about how "american" the country is now, but by and large if you check wikipedia you will note that most Asian countries as a whole don't celebrate Halloween and likely not "Christmas-ISH" things either and so it makes perfect sense not to include them in the events as the events are very much LORE based.

Wintersday decorations in House zu Heltzer? It would look really funny in my opinion.

canthans dont celebrate Wintersday.
they do have the dragon festival, which tyrians do not celebrate.

its not a matter of american, asian, or european or even whether you bought prophesies, factions, or nightfall; its the lore of the world GW exists in.
