.... wtf?

Wintersday in July? I'd rather have "beach day" in GW.... All armor on females changed to bikinis...

At least that goes in with the time of year...

Looks like it's going to be very small scale.

Still, snowball fights.

Might not be as good as dragon arena, but it's still good.

I think this proves they really, really, really ran out of ideas for weekends.

Meh, I plan on finishing my vanquishin friday (completely, last continent) so this will probably mean little to me.

Not bad though, but still it'd have been nice to see something they haven't done before, such as something actually summer themed.

Wintersday drops... candy canes? egg nog? fruitcake?

(aka: stuff I can sell to nubs going for sweet/drunk)

Yeah, not complaining one bit. The cities mentioned make thing they'll also decorate. It'll be a nice break from the Double XP/Double Fame crap..

You guys never heard of Christmas in July?

Although, this may not necessarily mean they are out of ideas, they could have lots of new ones in store for us!

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

This is the most randumb thing ever.

Maybe it is to accomodate for the South African and Australian players who are in the midst of winter.
