The Daily Grind: Oh there's no place like MMOs for the holidays
With the holidays coming up, everyone's waiting for their favorite events to start up. In WoW, it signals the return of the Winter Veil event, wherein people can run out and do some Greench whomping among many other things. In virtual worlds such as Second Life, the holidays are in full swing, with many of the private areas/sims covered in snow, and many people are dressed to kill in their holiday best. No matter what world you call home, there's almost certainly something fun and interesting going on there with events ranging from small to epic.
For today's topic, we thought we'd ask you what your favorite in-game holiday is. Now, this doesn't have to be a game that you currently play -- or even an MMO that is still running if the best ever was in an old, defunct game. It also doesn't have to be about the Winter holidays, although we'd understand if they are foremost in your mind right now. Personally, mine actually isn't a winter holiday. Mine is Blizzard's Brewfest this year before the Dark Iron Dwarves and their giant drills went away. I have to admit, it was a lot of fun just drinking and winging beer mugs at Dark Iron Dwarves as they emerged to wreak havoc on the Brewfest revelers. Of course, once your character was properly faced, you could then do a quest to get yourself a Wolpertinger (essentially, WoW's version of a Jackalope) non-combat pet. Sure there weren't uber loots, but it was fun and that's what I look for in holidays. How about you? Are there any games you love to spend the holidays in? What's your personal favorite holiday across the board?
