Wintersday In July

And New Zealand, Pacific Islands, South America, Indonesia, other African countries. Crikey, there's a lot of countries below the equator - fancy that, all those natives in need of spiritualizing and colonizing.

Yay snowball arena, hehe those raptor activists must be pretty PO'ed right now.

Well if they are running out of ideas for events they could use these holidays,the site has one for every day of the year.

Events for the next seven days could be centered around

July 16 is . . . . International Juggling Day
July 17 is . . . . National Peach Ice Cream Day
July 18 is . . . . National Ice Cream Day and National Caviar Day
July 19 is . . . . Flitch Day
July 20 is . . . . Ugly Truck Contest Day
July 21 is . . . . National Tug-Of-War Tournament Day
July 22 is . . . . Ratcatcher's Day

I like this weekend

Beats the double exp or 3x something useless weekends by far.

Very nice Idea... Finally a weekend event that is NEW and not recycled. Good Job ANET!

Well new as in July Sort of a mini Wintersday I love Snowball fights... !!

<3 Snowball Arena!! :d

I've never met a player beneath the equater that wasn't from SA or Aus. I'm not geographically retarded, I just thought distribution was limited to select countries.

Absolultely hilarious. I wonder whether the gifts you get for the snowball arena will be altered so that they don't drop Candy Cane Shards...

I know I'm gonna get me my Snowball Arena on! Skillz here I come!

Yes, Snow Ball arena! Now I can get r2 gamer!

>.> I have bad luck.

My main computer has a few issues that need to get fixed, so I'll be spending Wintersday in July with a crappy desktop that gives 15 FPS...

And I already had to do that during the Dragon Festival...

Rejoice! For those that have waited can now QQ!

I believe this will be the coolest weekend ever. I hope this starts more of "thinking out of the box" type ideas for weekend events. I'm all for it, this is really great.

snowman summoners, eggnog and fruit cakes....would be nice drops (hope for the snowman as I have not quite finished my party animal title---and doing that wintersday dungeon....will take me past next wintersday to get enough!)

So we get eggnogs/fruitcakes drops and no CC+Collectors?

gz for this brand new event idea btw

Nice. I've always enjoyed the Snowball Arena.

are we able to get mini polar bear?

Why do you say this? I am assuming the usual wintersday drops will be included and the usual collectors also, based on the wording of the announcement and common sense. Why are some of you thinking not?

"Halloween In August" in a couple weeks !!

unless they also add the rift warders, nope

It doesn't say anything about collectors and quests. It mentions the arena and special drops. \O_o/
