WAR - Xmas event announced!

The christmas WAR event was annouced today

it looks mildly interesting (although i would personally have prefered the dev time was spent on balance, fixing the numerous bugs, and making some long term content)

anyway its called "Keg End" and is all about the Dwarf beer festival really.

one of the "goodies" available in the event, in the form of a rare world drop, is the "Battlebrew Backpack", which I personally think looks awesome - and i definately wanna get hold of for my engineer.

The event influence rewards are as follows

• Basic - Exclusive in-game title "The Drunkard"
• Advanced - Unique Stein Trophy
• Elite - The Last Call Keg (returns the player to the City Pub)

Personally i think the new title "Thhe Drunkard" is quite funny - and again i'd like on my chars, although its clearly going to barely exclusive - basically anyone who is subbed up for the 3 weeks of the event will be able to unlock it in like an hour tops!

Also the Elite reward seems pretty helpful, particularly if you dont have a guild with access to the the guild recall scrolls, or just as an alternative and quick way back to the city.

Oh and supposedly there are two new emotes (GREAT - who cares) /boast and /toast , that supposedly durign the event, if the emotes are used at certain times may unlock stuff in the tome. - meh seems pointless
