Banished- A huge thank you for sharing pictures and stuff with the rest of us. Very kind!

I am rather dissapointed. Winters Day started off with a big bang. Then just fizzled. I know people say this is Tyria, not earth. No Christmas. But c'mon! A santa hat is a santa hat. You don't call a duck a feathered web footed a bird. A santa hat is a santa hat. We get it a week after the holiday the thing symbolizes! Pathetic in my mind. I used to want a hat so bad, now it's too late. Guess I'll just have to look at it as we got it a year early? Too bad it'll collect dust in my storage until then.

Wintersday event might start at 3pm EST/12pm PST like the Halloween events with the Mad King. It will occur every three hours.

Lucky you were the only one on that server...
Now its just filled with people again, and nobody who really want a hat, won't get one.
I'm not waiting for 3 hours at one place to get a hat lol..

So this will start at 12pm and end at 12am? or does it go for 24 hours? I wouldn't know I missed the halloween event. What is the window of opportunity for getting a hat like the pumpkins? all the time or only a specific moment during the 3 hour event? I wanna get a hat for all 4 of my chars

Straight from Gaile Gray: It started at 6pm Korean's Time, and will most likely start at that time for the other countries as well. Europe is on GMT, America is on PST.

So theres likely a good 15 hours before it comes to America. Gaile told us we could go to bed and not worry about missing even the first occurance of the event.

BAH! I got out my cell phone to check what time it was in Korea to see the time difference, and you've already done it. I still feel proud of myself for looking up the 15 hour difference and seeing it was 6 pm.

Off topic: It's currently 12:40 pm Dec 31 in Cairo.

I'm aussie here. For the Halloween event, I hopped ship to the Euro servers to get the pumpkin hat, otherwise I would have had to wait till 4am to get it. I was out the whole day (bloody exams and all). This timeframe is more aussie friendly. It should occur for us at about 1pm, January 1st.

It just ended in Europe.

Yes, the hats are customised. Dwayna wins. She gives you presents for half an hour. And there are lots of shiny shiny fireworks

I'm not sure about the whole Dwayana winning thing. A lot of people think that if there are more people at Grenth, he will win, and there will be something other than fireworks.

I missed the start of it by minutes and ergo missed getting my hat, hopefully they'll be back at 3pm though like most people seem to think. The place was crowded though and I got a few good pictures for my album....whenever I bother making one.
