Rift Warden?
Where the F is the Rift Warden? I don't see him in Kamadan.--99.225.28.182 22:46, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * They'll appear on Monday. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 22:57, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Geez, it's that time of year again? Time to buckle down for some more attempts at Polar bear farming.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  23:52, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * They are here now, happy farming everyone. Try to keep count of how many runs u did :P Lยкץ๒๏ץ talk  21:45, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Factions
Why doesn't factions have the event yet? what's wrong? Jedibob5 19:06, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, because it doesn't? Prophecies/Nightfall get Halloween and Wintersday, Factions gets Canthan New Year and Dragon Festival.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:18, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * The continent of Tyria is roughly equivalent to Europe and celebrates the more Western holidays. Cantha is effectively the Asia of Guild Wars and celebrates holidays that are more closely related to those of Eastern cultures. Don't ask how Elona has the same holidays as Tyria. Probably because it would have been too convoluted to have another set of holidays to keep up with throughout the year, so it was just easier to synchronize it with Tyria.

 * Not to mention Tyria and Elona are on the exact same continent, one just being south of the other. The two have always been much more closely linked.  It makes no less sense for Tyrians and Elonans to celebrate the same holidays as it does for Ascalons and Krytans to celebrate the same holidays. --76.113.200.14 01:23, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Costumes
With the recent introduction of costumes does anyone think is it possible that we could see full costumes replacing the festival hats in events? SlothIncarnate 14:57, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Possible, but I doubt it. If people can get full costumes for free, they'll be less likely to want the ones that aren't free, and that would reduce Anet's cash flow.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 16:35, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Unless the ones that ARE free, are bullshit ones like Santa Claus suits, Grentch suits etc. At least the Grenth's and Dwayna's costumes look good. -- N  aoroji   16:38, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * any predictions on costumes for the other gods? maybe Melandru in the spring time. Bottle130 11:21, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * That would have to be free, no one would pay to have wooden tits strapped to their body.--99.225.28.182 19:56, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well apparently we get hats again this year, but they don't look too bad. There's a picture up on the German wiki page here. --82.71.41.74 19:02, December 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * More female love. Hmm... And I think of all things, we will get new holiday hats and celestial minis until all GW1 servers are completely closed, which I don't see happening anytime soon. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:35, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

CC shards?
Will we be able to trade in CC shards for presents at some point? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.101.182.153 (contribs).


 * Wintersday Gift Givers are in LA and Kamadan, as well as the Dwayna Vs Grenth outpost. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:52, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * First I'm getting that übercool Candy Cane Longbow for pulling. But what to do with the rest? Save till you can bet on Grenth or Dwayna or just trade for gifts? Fleshcrawler   Soban  15:29, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * You only need a few CCS to play Nine Rings (Wintersday). Dwayna's/Grenth's points are based on how many CCS are "bet" in the game, which is 1 per character per round, not how many the characters have in their inventories.  And no matter which circle you stand in, you will at least break even, on average.  So yeah, keep a few for the finale, but go ahead and trade the rest for gifts.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:40, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Iirc, there are 15 game rounds. Considering you win some shards back during the game, you can probably get away with 6 or 7 at start and still get through all 15 rounds, unless you hit a really bad losing streak. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:39, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
