Wintersday 2006

I have heard from a few people that there wont be any candy canes this year during wintersday..... does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

Not true. Nobody knows yet. Probablly somebody just said that to try to bring up prices of the CCs he was selling. Don't believe everything you hear.

I agree, nobody knows anything (except Anet) Probably someone who wants to dump a load of Candy Canes at an inflated price.

No one knows until the actual event comes, so just wait.

If its anything like halloween they'll have the same stuff plus some new ones lol.

But since they have alittle more time to be creative you might see total new stuff. Probably will still have CC's though. People will be ripe to farm them, like they did the re-released halloween items lol.

I wonder if they will be more difficult to farm this time around? There are still so many being sold from last year as it is!

*Gets farming hat on in anticipation*

I still have heaps from last year Winterdays, never even thought about selling them I just use them when I am on long runs with groups that don't want to suffer DP penalty. No point selling them you get more use out of them if your the one to use them. I hope they make it like last year so I can farm more so then my stash won't run out.

I, on the other hand had to buy all mine. I was not far enough into the game to take full advantage of Wintersday, and as I hate rushing through games it was all over before I had reached LA.

I am more prepared this year, roll on Wintersday.

When does it start?, few people say week before X-mas, any1 know?

Dont know, i seem to remember Gaile saying something about an announcement this wednesday about it and some new updates, so i guess wait until then.

Well if its the same as last year..

^^ would seem to be right, after all Dec 21st is the Winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere). But once again it is just a guess.

errrr Wednesday is the 20th and Thursday is the 21st.... I am not on the game atm (I am at work) but I think it has already started

Nope hasnt started yet!
