Canthan New Year 2012

I know before every event theres a post/reply somewhere of mine asking when an event is , especially if anets forgetting to announce them ( easter etc ).
Chances are the following
1. The chap who deals with website is on his/her annual vacation as usual.
2. Anet cant pay someone to add details
3. Anets lost their event calender
4. feel free to add your own.
seriously tho - its either this weekend or next weekend .
Can anyone recall the last time in last few yrs anets actually announced all events beforehand as easter last yr wasnt announced till the event had been on for a few hrs.

It varies. Last year started on the Thursday that the Chinese New Year began. Events in years prior seemed to be on the weekend as close to the actual date as possible.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how they plan it out. I would like to see the CaNY cover at least a week since the ChNY goes on for two weeks. It would allow more time to do the quests, play the other festival games, AND do some afking for the titles.

Would be great to get some sort of confirmation from Anet

Experience tells me that it will either be announced on Thursday, like always, or two days before the start of the event (if it starts earlier than Friday noon).
Barring system or personnel issues, standard weekend events are *always* announced on Tuesdays, and major events are *always* announced on Thursdays.
This patterns was established in the first year that they started offering weekend events, and has been very consistent since.

The event usually is in February either first or second week, although it has been known for 2 events to overlap such as AB weekend and Canthan New year. all events try to coincide with the previous years weekends. just keep an eye out for it

Year of the Dog! Woot!
BenjZee
Year of the Dragon you mean...and yeah if you follow the rotation of weekend events based on the past few years...actually it does fit in 2 or 3 weekends time
Tullzinski
I hope it is this weekend! Also do not forget to check this thread for hosted districts!

Maybe they thought this month's flux would mess up DA and racing, so they're pushing it to next month.

On Topic:I'm thinking Thursday announcement. So hoping for this weekend. Already planning my character/quest order! Can't wait for a climax of mass Fortune popping!

The way she phrased that could just as easily mean that the event won't take place until the January flux ends.
I'm betting they hold the event on the first weekend in February and delay the flux if necessary. We've already seen this month that they can delay a flux, and I figure that keeping the flux from affecting DA and RBR would require additional coding they'd prefer to avoid.

Anyway, i'd think they will make it on next week; not so bad to have alliance battles active for 3 days

Makes sense to me the in-game festival to happen during/after the actual festivity, and not to end before it even starts...
Odinius
39 chars ready for action!!!!!
Kordis Sol
>: ) a mere 24 here, but 5000+ ingredients ready to hand in. Euro Polish 9 is where its at people!
Good luck Polly on winning the beetle racing again (since you wont reply in game!)

Rollerbeetle racing is next weekend (starting on Thursday) and it won't be affected by the flux.

At the risk of taking this off-topic...I also take vacation days around some of the in-game festivals as RL permits. Not everyone has been playing for 5-6 years or had so many events/missions/etc under their belt that it's become boring. (on the other hand, only been playing for 2 years 
)
And I *love* opening the fortunes ^_^ Spiritual Possession is *awesome*!!!!! I STILL get a kick out of poor Hai Len's quest for True Love...and Hapless Chong :P. Plus the chance for a sparkly dragon!
On topic...I am rather bummed that CNY won't be starting up this weekend though, was all psyched up for it

I can't even play the game for longer than a couple hours every two weeks without experiencing catatonic boredom.

I'm not playing much anymore, but really there's nothing to do aside of farming in PvE and watching syncers in PvP..

Some of you guys need to try a different game.

I'm thinking that, even if CNY was going to be this weekend, the ArenaNet offices in Bellvue have probably been closed or at minimal staff for the week, given that Monday was a holiday, and Tuesday we got hit with a nasty snow & ice storm that's caused all sorts of havok.
cosyfiep
yeah...but the weekend stuff is supposed to be all automated! (which means that more people have to take of it now than when it wasnt 
).
will probably be the weekend after--I would guess something to do with that silly flux thing et.al....

If you look at it this way - the farmers have another week to get their items ready, and hopefully that means more districts hosted at the finales.
Polgara Val
Well looks like the Canthan New Year isint happening this weekend from the looks of it so far, pretty dissapointed. I hope its next weekend. Wish one of the arena net staff could give us a date of when it starts, wont happen though probably.

I hope Anet does not run the event on the same weekend as the Superbowl AGAIN!!!

The current plan for the Live Team is to run the Canthan New Year festival in early February. I can't confirm the exact dates at this point due to the weather disruptions, but we'll update you as soon as we can.
