Holidays give people something a little extra to look forward to periodically throughout the year. Even if you don't celebrate, it helps break you from the rut of their daily lives. In-game holiday events are no different and for some of us in Aion, we are VERY grateful that the holidays are getting a little attention this season.

I really don't care what they call it or what the lore is behind it, every MMOG should have holiday events that coincide with popular holidays in our real lives. Games like EverQuest II go all out for holidays and the fans absolutely appreciate the effort. Having that little extraordinary break from the daily game to get smashing drunk or craft special holiday treats to send off to your friends is so wonderful!
