We should have a St Patricks day in GW. Green rivers, guinness to get them drunk. St Patrick himself going about the place and leprechauns who craft things and have a pot of gold to get, and then get chased by the leprechaun for stealing the gold. Lots of green leprechaun hats of course and Guinness.
what you think will it ever happen?
New Holiday - St Patricks Day

Not likely, though I like the idea...
Too much preparations for upcoming Factions weekend.

Anybody who enjoys a good drink should enjoy St Pattie's Day (responsibly, of course). You don't have to be Irish...
As for a GW event, that would be cool, but don't count on it. I have a date that night, so I won't be able to participate. Which is a shame, because I've been saving a lot of in game booze for an event like this!
Oh, and a quick Google search found this:

| Tokyo, Japan. About 2,000 participants march down fashionable Omotesando Avenue, lined for the occasion by Irish and Japanese flags, cheered on by as many as 7,000 spectators. The Irish Ambassador to Japan leads the kilt-wearing, bag-pipe playing participants and it doesn't seem to matter that very few of them are from the ould sod. The Japanese love a good party and they are particularly fond of all things Irish - including Guinness at about $7.00 a pint! However, there are a growing number of Irish pubs that send attractive young ladies to the parade for the sole purpose of handing out free beer vouchers. Not surprisingly, the 'voucher girls' are a parade highlight! |

Chinese New Year would be great too, hell more holidays in general would be good, even if they were regional only.
St. Patricks is generally celebrated wherever there are Irish - there is a hell of a lot of us about

Kaly, we do call our flag 'Green, white and gold'..though for the life of me, I don't know why.
*Note-There's no such things as leprechauns; or at least I've never seen one.I think it's a ploy to catch out Yanks with more money than sense; you know, like the ones who think it's an American holiday

Well I would have spelled out ASIAN but what's the fun being asian and not being able to use AZN. Besides my BBoy squad called AZN.

Actually, St. Paties day is a major religious festive in Ireland. They generally don't drink on St. Paties day. Only Americans have turned it into a day to wear green and get drunk.

Well, given that Saint Patrick was more famous for bashing some Druids more than drinking green beer, I think that holiday would be pretty wretched for for Elementalists and Necros. A bunch of wily saints chasing them around with Green shileles would be sure to keep them on their toes.

Yea but it's not your choice to design it, so your thread is pointless, it's just a dream. I just agree there should be a St. Patricks event itself. Anet can do the rest. And hopefully make it better than this last one, not that it was bad, but it could have been better, especially with Gamer Points >_<
Mr. G
did you really dig this topic up to quote the new year?....wow
dunno just make monsters drop green beer is fine by me...who needs more hats

Well I would have made my own topic about it, but I'm sure a mod would have came around saying "It's been suggested before, use search" as usual.
