Fixed a bug that prevented holiday keys from working.
Fixed a bug that prevented players from changing weapon art with Tolkano.
Fixed the Journey to the North buff that caused Warrior attributes to be incorrectly assigned when a player wielded several weapon types.
Fixed a bug that caused candy canes to spawn in Kamadan.
Fixed a bug that caused only one Xunlai chest to spawn in Kamadan, Jewel of Istan.

Simple bug fixes.

There are supposed to be more secrets? I thought the Zaishin Chest was the secret, i dunno though.

Wouldn't it have been revealed since friday is almost over?

The Zaishin Chest, the Blow-out Event (10 days), the free trial (bring a few friends!), and the other bonuses and double-ups and so forth. I think it's all covered in the pages I linked to above.

Blow-Out Event sounds cool, does that mean it'll lead straight into Wintersday event start... ?

Edit: Ummm Gaile, you say Blow-out Weekend, the sites says ten days???

It was going to be a weekend, then someone said "run it until next Friday" and I said "Eh, just run it through next Sunday, so we have more time to farm Honeycom..." *ahem* I mean I said, "Run it through next Sunday so there will be less confusion with trying to bump it into another type or kind of special weekend" (which was the original plan.)

So yes, definitely not a "weekend" but a "weekendS."

Nice stuff in that event. Maybe when I come home from work, my elementalist will have a quick killing spree. Lockpicks, better chest drops, more money, doesn't interest me. Honeycombs and sparklers? SHOW ME THE SHINIES!

I finished "The Dawn of Rebellion" this morning, and I didn´t get the triple experience points! Shouldn´t that work for everyone and not only the ones with the trial??

Trial page: "Plus, in the latest update we permanently lowered the level requirement for Eye of the North from 20 to 10 to make it easier than ever to enjoy the first true Guild Wars expansion."

The way this is phrased ("first") you'd think they intended another expansion... don't really know what the point is considering that's all but guaranteed not to happen.

Keep in mind of Guildwars 2. Guildwars is a franchise, so the "first" could mean the first of the franchise.
