In celebration of Yule, Christmas, Hannuka, Kwaanza, and other holidays we're once again announcing the 25 days of fun and games! Each day will find some kind of addition to the game environment, whether temporary or permanent for the month. We reserve the right to tweak things as we see fit without any announcement or warning. Check daily to see what you may have otherwise missed!
Happy Holidays from Mrs Claus and her happy misfit toymakers!
- December 1 - Gingerbread men now in the game.
- December 2 - Sled rides introduced for all three races.
- December 3 - False start for imping Olive. (Do your own research!)

- December 5 - Double experience until 6pm EST.
- December 6 - Quick hide & seek game. Prize unclaimed.
- December 7 - Throwing knives retooled to snowballs.
- December 8 - Double experience until midnight EST.

- December 10 - Oops. We got behind on... something.
- December 11 - Double experience until midnight EST.
- December 12 - Went shopping. For presents.
- December 13 - Yule trees are in the game in most city areas, more to come!
- December 14 - More work on... something. You'll like it.
- December 15 - Double experience until midnight EST.

- December 23 - Crashed every time the MoM had time to log into the game! No enhancements today...
- December 24 - Good girls and boys (and bad Dark Lovelies) can SEARCH UNDER the TREE wherever a Yule tree is standing. There is a limit, and a farming block in place.
- December 25 - Triple experience for all!
On December 31 at midnight, the holiday enhancements should disappear from the game for another year. Retooled items will revert over time, so don't worry if you log in and you still have a holiday item. I hope you had a good time this year, and maybe next year I'll do it again. Peace, happy New Year, and have a great 2008!
