Guild Wars’ Wintersday Festival extended
Guild Wars fanatics annually look forward to holiday event, Wintersday Festival. Aside from the different in-game happenings, there are also a lot of fun activities which players could participate in even though they are offline. It seems that the event was so well received this year, developer NCsoft decided to keep it for a little while longer.
Yep, Wintersday is still on and there are still a lot of things to do in case you failed to join the festivities. According to NCSoft’s official message to its fans:
Through Noon PST (20:00 GMT) on Thursday, January 11, 2007:
Players can continue to compete in the Snowball Arena, join in the holiday quests and missions, and dodge Grentchies in Kamadan and Lion’s Arch. Through participation in various activities, players will accumulate Candy Cane Shards which they may exchange for Peppermint Shields, Gingerbread Foci, and Candy Cane weapons of all kinds.
And of course, players can also trade those shards with the Wintersday Gift Givers in Lion’s Arch and Kamadan for valuable Wintersday Gifts that contain a variety of exciting items.
Aside from the overwhelming success of the event, NCSoft mentioned that they decided to extend it for the benefit of their players in Asia, especially in Taiwan. Accordingly, a strong earthquake hit on the last week of December, knocking most of the region’s internet connection.
