I have nothing against celebrating national holidays, just as long as everyone drops absolutely everything to work on one country's holiday, only to turn around and forget the next country's day.

Here is a simple solution. Don't celebrate REAL holidays on Graal. Instead, Graal should have holidays (of course it wouldn't be serverwide) But like, 2k1 could have "Bomy Day", an Anniversary, something like a christmas where people give eachother gifts (doesn't have to be anything like christmas otherwise), something like easter, and something like halloween.

I mean, last year Stefan celebrated Halloween on 2k1 with the whole haunted house thing that had a dancefloor and pk area with masks and candies and everything. He doesn't celebrate Halloween in his country though. I don't think it's a huge deal if a few people want to celebrate a special day.

But I feel that religion and ethnic cultures/backgrounds should not be on Graal. No actual Christmas with a baby jesus and whatnot, no 4th of July, no actual churces for religions, etc. I'm sure we are all very proud of our backgrounds or whatever, but it doesn't need to be in the game. I think people play Graal to get away from everyday life and the real world. Not to play the real world online. It's fantasy, that's the point.

I think that having various anniversaries and notable birthdays celebrated would be a good idea. The following should be celebrated:


Stefan's Birthday - Gift giving, like Christmas
Graal Anniversary - Parties like the Fourth of July or New Year's Day
Newmain Anniverary - Bomy- and hat-related gifts, like Easter

I wouldn't get offended if Graal celebrated Things like Chanukah and not Christmas. (Although Chanukah isn't really a major Jewish holiday). I know as a company, it needs to be "politically correct” but frankly, I couldn't really care any less.

And I'm totally aware. My super large ellipsis was merely driving home our collective awkward pause as we gaped at his appalling ignorance!
