It's time for the fourth-annual Winter Holiday Celebration in The Matrix Online! During this period, snow will be falling in the Mega City with Snowmen and Holiday Helper Vendors to help you get into the holiday spirit. The Winter Holiday Celebration will start on December 18th and continue till January 15th.

So, err... Same routine, new items, then, eh?

#36300528114 12/11/2008 10:40:22 Re:Winter Holiday Celebration

Well, it doesn't mention the method used to get the items.. based on a few Dev Screens it looks like there might be some sort of new enemy to deal with, so perhaps two different mission tickets instead of one as well as a new type (or more) of drop to be traded for items.

Wish this had started today though. SMILEY

Rarebit said that that wasn't part of the Winter event later on in that thread, I believe.  I'll find the quote.

A surprise or they have nothing to do with the winter event and are part of the 12.1 story arc. I supposed that they may be a new box for Sati's but I think Rare poopoo'd that theory.

For sparring/flirting with a crewmate in a dojo construct just before realising that there are hundreds of thousands of sentinels burrowing down to New Zion. What else?

Because you've just taken a warm bath and are too lazy to dress properly?

Between this and the next issue of the Dresden Files graphic novel coming out next Thursday, it's going to be a busy fandom day for me...

I fully expect there to be a pantless male Gi model for the male version of the bathrobe.

And please.. remove /bow ... It'll be scary to see people do that.

#36300529009 12/13/2008 18:50:44 Re:Winter Holiday Celebration

Put the bathrobe on the towel warmer while you are in the nice hot tub. Even more luxerious.

Couldn't resist getting in on the lucrative holiday card biz. One static and one animated:

#36300529672 12/16/2008 05:35:53 Re:Winter Holiday Celebration

New items and maybe a new enemy eh? It wouldnt happen to be some sort of heart Boxers for males?? (This one is for you Mave)

#36300529722 12/16/2008 10:06:05 Re:Winter Holiday Celebration

WOW rarbit! *right clicks both images and saves* that's pretty tight!

#36300530651 12/18/2008 20:56:08 Re:Winter Holiday Celebration

Hai !! thanks for the new clothing.. but umm... while I do love them, why are necks of the guys clothing the same color as the ties? on the same style of clothing that isn't the holiday stuff, they are the same color as the shirt..... 

Was this an oops? or is this how they are suppose to be, cause,... umm.. when I wear a tie, its on the outside of the collar.

MUCH LOVE !!! THANKS FOR THE HOLIDAY TREATS !!!!

Pictures or it didn't happen. =p

#36300530656 12/18/2008 21:33:28 Re:Winter Holiday Celebration

Love ya Rare , TBH closest I get to wearing a tie is around mah head, so ... I dunno ! I just game here.

Normal outfit, inside the collar is grey

Sexy tie, but inside collar is red

#36300530671 12/18/2008 22:04:25 Re:Winter Holiday Celebration

Oh, that. I thought you were pulling some kind of Animal House look on me or something. Yeah, for whatever reason the tie area also maps to the inside of the collar on those vest models, so whatever color the tie is, that'll appear inside the collar, too. The old items use a different coloring method, and not as much contrast, so the model quirk just wasn't as noticeable with those items I guess.

Heh, I guess the male bathrobe was a joke. There goes a prank present I was sending one guy, ah well. I'll think of something else.

Happy Holidays everyone. The new cloths rock but where is the red gloves. We gotta wait another year to complete that or what?

I saw elsewhere (here) that the Winter festivities were going on until January 22nd, but here it says that it all ends on the 15th.  Which one's correct?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

TSR Eryk N.: The game is done. The service and support stopped.

The event will turn off with the server restart tonight, but we are going to try and restart the event manually once it is back online so it can run till the 22nd.

Whew, that's good news.  I was hoping I wouldn't have to farm the 50-some snowflakes I still need to complete all my sets.
