In a nod to El Día de los Muertos ,a holiday of remembrance
that traces its routes to ancient Mexico, World
of Warcraft
unveils a new holiday, Day of the Dead. The holiday is observed
November 1st and 2nd, just as its real world counterpart that
celebrates those that we have lost, and will take place in the
graveyards near all major cities throughout the game world. New items,
buffs and an achievement are yours for the taking by participating in
the celebration.
better way to celebrate the memories of those we've lost than through
the ritualistic power of dance -- and all the better during the Day of
the Dead holiday, when we're most among their ghostly presence? Dance
and revel, and the inhabitants of the spirit world will dance and revel
with you, and they will receive your gifts of food and drink and take
with them on their eternal journeys the knowledge that they are loved.
And, if you approach Catrina in the midst of this merriment, select
her, and type /dance in honor of the fallen, you will be granted an
achievement and a 12-hour buff, Honor the Dead, which will change your
appearance to that of Catrina or Chapman, the graveyard vendor who also
appears during this holiday.
