Stefan set forth upon these lands recoloured Magic Hats and Diamond Swords with new GFX and started a great Graal 2002 tradition of every Christmas releasing recoloured, recycled, rebranded and all around mediocre free items for all newbies, midbies and oldbies alike to enjoy. The great equalizer of Graal 2002.

BUT NOT THIS YEAR

Hey who stole Christmas?



Head Guard Zoogi Zerako of (Zormite) (Sun Dec 25 14:14:29 2005):
Yeah what I'm really asking is what happened to Christmas items?



Head Guard Zoogi Zerako of (Zormite) (Sun Dec 25 14:16:14 2005):
No I mean like the part where we burn down trees or go into an igloo and get
some free mediocre items / existing items with new GFX.


Head Guard Zoogi Zerako of (Zormite) (Sun Dec 25 14:18:22 2005):
Huh?

HUH?

Is this part of that "War on Christmas" I'm always hearing about?

Note that this is not a private history as I have given it to a lot of people. We all know that rule is only around because of that stuff with that guy who translated the Graal website anyways.

Stefan massed out last night that they are working on a quest that will take teams of multiple people to complete. Sounds like it could be fun..

I find these kinds of things tend to be highly overated.

I think think this is just crap. Why cant they have the tree burning AND this big quest :/ not all people will be able to participate in this event and get fun christmas items. The tree burning lasts for a couple of days, this quest will probably last for an hour max.

Even if they are working on a "big quest", it would have to be under intense construction (more than 80% completed) to be out any time that we would consider "festivish". Besides which, it isn't like Christmas changes dates. There are pretty good odds, granted that I'm not a gambling man, that this co-opting of a Pagan holiday will probably occur on the 25th for the forseeable future.

It is almost finished but also needs lots of testing so it's not too simple. So we do it a little bit later, Friday and Saturday.

So we will have to wait another full week? It's sunday, as far as I know.

So what? most people spend christmas day with thier families so holding it on the day isn't really a good idea..

I guess so, but Kingdoms stuff is usually never late.

...I'm sorry, you must have forgotton that you have to use /sarcasm to indicate that such statements are in jest on the internet.

I didnt get a chance to get online at all today and I'll be many others had the same issue, so I'm glad it wasnt today. Although a bit sooner then a week from now would be nice I suppose...

Why not just make a NPC quest? I mean GK really lacks quests, that actually give you something you can use, instead of hundreds of pointless items to make a gold key. Also it would add to teamplay.

Relax
 

Hey, why you are so impatient for christmas items / christmas event?
Just relax, play a little bit, or do some kingdom role play events!
Nobody really knows what the quest/event is. All these rumours are completely wrong. We did a lot of small events on christmas and now you can have a pleasant anticipation of the future event. ^^

Exactly :)

Yeah!~ I totally can't wait to hunt for christmas hats on Easter! Thanks Sam!
