Hardly any online game would miss the Christmas event. The following 9 MMOs have particularly beautiful and original ideas for the festival of love and gifts.
Every year, Christmas also comes to various online worlds. Usually, Christmas has a fixed place in the respective game lore. For example, in Guild Wars 2, an Asura gnome arrives with an airship and drops gifts. In WoW, the Winter Veil festival is celebrated, and in Secret World Legends, the creepy Krampus makes an appearance.
In the following 9 MMOs, you can experience particularly beautiful Christmas events this year.
Final Fantasy 14 – The Christmas Bear is Coming!
Square Enix’s online RPG Final Fantasy 14 celebrates Christmas in the form of the “Starlight Celebration“. Every year, something different takes place. This year, you need to complete a quest for the catgirl Amh Garanjy.
As a reward for your efforts, there is something very special: a Christmas bear! This is a bear mount with a red pom-pom hat. Additionally, the bear can fly and throws gifts. The presents then explode in a rain of glitter and snowflakes.
You can enjoy the Starlight Celebration in Final Fantasy 14 until December 31, 2017.
Guild Wars 2 – The Annual Toy Massacre!
In Guild Wars 2, Santa Claus is not a fat guy with a beard. Instead, the gift-bringer in Tyria is a cute Asura gnome named Tixx. He comes every year with a flying, golem-shaped toy factory and gifts the residents of the city of Divinity’s Reach.
However, Tixx seems to make the same mistakes every year, and his toys run amok in the factory on the airship. Your brave heroes must therefore defeat the rampaging toys to save the Winter Festival.
There are numerous events, including the notorious, sadistic jumping puzzle “Winter Wonderland” and the lighthearted snowball fight PvP event. The fun in Guild Wars 2 continues until January 2, 2018.
World of Warcraft – Get a New Hearthstone Board
World of Warcraft must not be missing when it comes to Christmas in MMOs. In Blizzard’s online RPG, the so-called “Winter Veil” is celebrated during Christmas time. It concerns the “Father Winter”. His breath manifests itself during this time as snowflakes. In celebration of the festival, the cities of Ironforge and Orgrimmar are festively decorated, and gifts await you under a large tree on December 25.
In 2017, there are plenty of beautiful toys, including the cool items from last year and new goodies. One of the best items is likely the “Hearthbox”, which is a “goblin-improved” – and probably life-threatening – Hearthstone board. In the Garrison, you can complete daily missions and secure a Yeti mount called “Minion of the Gumpus” in the process.
The Winter Veil festival in World of Warcraft lasts until January 2, 2018.
On the next page, you will find multi-cultural Christmas, Yeti hunting, and violent contemplation.
