Christmas has come to Kalimdor!

The resent patch did not only bring nerfs, it brought Christmas to the world of Warcraft! (may be a spoiler if you want to find it out for yourself)

Here is a few pictures from Orgrimmar.



A special christmas shop with the snowballs everyone is throwing at each other. The egg nog is rumoured to have some odd kick.



Santa Clause himself! He even has a quest, unfortunately the alt in town is too low level to find out what it is!



It's snowing, and players are turning into snowmen :xsnow:

[Mastgrr]

Haha! Cool stuff!

I wonder what happen when Blizzard remove this from the game? What will happen to the recepies, etc?

3 More festive piccies for you :)

Oh and the winter father quest is to make him 5 christmas cookies and an ice cold glass of milk :) The recipes all use components that can only be purchased from the festive goblin vendors... so I guess when the vendors go the supply of components disappears. I doubt they will remove the recipes from people who have learnt them, they will just have to wait until next christmas when the vendors will come back again!

What was the quest reward?

For the cookies and milk quest? A wrapped parcel which had 10 mageroyal in it when I opened it :)

And yes these pics are from the European Beta.

Any word on when the US retail version will be getting the patch? I sorely want to experiance the holiday cheer for myself :)


EDIT: To the original poster, why did you bother to blur your name and experience?

[Squarebob Spongepants]

The patch will be released in the US 2-3 days after it has been verified that it's working properly on the EU/Korean servers.

So where in the world is there going to be snow? All over? Or just the Valley of Strength?

Wonko the Sane, I just didn't want my name to be stolen when retail comes :)
