Hi there,

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether there will be a Dragon Festival 2007 or not? Last years festival took place at the end of June and I personally loved it

So, any news, ideas, or comments?

I like the idea of another Dragon Festival for this year. I had a lot of fun last year when it took place. And I would happily take part in it again this year, should they decide to do it

Last I checked, Gaile said that the festival is possible.

If they do do throw it again, let's hope its new and different. I can't say I'd look forward to the whole Shing Jea Boardwalk junk again. Its been there sooo many times. Its quite boring now.

I was away last year. So it would be nice to be able to get that dragon hat this year.

I never doubted there would be any new dragon festival. Just wondering when. It should be soon (Beginning of July) if the keep the schedule.

By the way: It's the only festival I did not see yet, I started playing in Sep/Oct 2006.

That was my favorite festival as well.

I loved hanging on the boardwalk, doing the quests and overall logging on everyday since it was summer and everyone was on.

I hope they do have it so I can work on my lucky/unlucky some more and of course get some nice gifts.

I really like the event but would like another hat though, something like this would rock:


Fully dyeable, slot for rune and inscription and armor depends on lvl just like hero armor(should have that for all hats though)
Make it with the black hoodie underneath though, otherwise your char would look bald like my necro with the wicked hat.

This festivel should occur simply because it was stated at the tiem to be a yearly thing, we also need the opportunity to play the games if so desired,

There has been mention of the devs being too busy to implement it this year, but I feel that is not a good sign, it implys that the other holidays may not occur, Haloween, Christmas, New Year, if they are busy.

its been months since a big event we need another, and I dearly want to try my hand at present catching once again

I can't stand the thought of having to wait until Halloween for another ingame event! Well, yes i can, but if i had said i was marginally disappointed that there would be no holiday event until October, the point wouldn't have been taken as well. Especially since i missed the first incarnation of this holiday...

Bring back Dragon Fest!

Hopefully, if Anet does decide to have the Dragon Festival again, they don't change the design of the mask too much. The previous mask is one of the better festival designs, in my opinion. The newer Horns of Grenth, for instance, look too realistic and not really as cute as the originals.

I would love to be able to trade my Furious Pumpkin Helm from last Halloween in for one of the Wicked (it's not Witch's) Hats. Didn't have Nightfall at the time, so I couldn't get to Kamadan. I've missed out on every good festival hat so far, the original Horns of Grenth, Yule Cap, the Dragon Mask....

But, certain people don't like the idea of others who couldn't attend those events getting said items. It would ruin the speciality or whatever. *sigh* Such is the elitism of GW, I guess.
