I too am getting tired of the endless stream of emails and ads from MMO companies that are promoting their version of Halloween as a live event. Some of them don't even bother to disguise Halloween and proclaim it loudly. So much for immersion. And here I thought it was only me :) I agree with you Gordon.

Each holiday does have its own lore behind it. Rather than just being Xmas or Halloween, it's Frostfell and Nights of the Dead. In particular I like the lore behind Nights of the Dead. I like them because it brings something new to the game. The rewards are usually fluff but I have to admit that I like fluff. I'm a big fan of new appearance armor and house items. Also I stockpile snowballs : ) I like seasonal events in EQ2. Each holiday does have its own lore behind it. Rather than just being Xmas or Halloween, it’s Frostfell and Nights of the Dead.

It was fantastic and really rallied up the newbies! How come we never see that any more? :( I recall some great events in EQ where the GMs RP’d as some of the major characters for the story and lore.

I think the efforts of the developers could be better focused elsewhere. I agree, I think they’re becoming extreme now, especially in WoW.
