MMOs like to bring a bit of the real world into their on-screen one, so it's not unusual to see real-life celebrations, or a parody of them, imported into the games.
Christmas is one of those periods that often make the cross-over, along with Halloween and Easter, so IncGamers has put together a run-down of festive events that are taking place in some of the most popular MMOs right now.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Speaking from experience, players on WoW's RP servers really get in to the spirit of things. It's a lovely environment, I always like to log on just to say happy Christmas to all my friends.
My favourite place is the desert, blowing sh1t up
Nice to have this list of MMO events. There are so many these days, its nice to see some side by side :D
Aion will have lots more next year. The western market is so different to the eastern one.
