Talk:Special event

From Guild Wars Wiki

Should the Second Birthday Celebration be moved down to the second level? It didn't have quests or a hat or most of what makes a big event an event, it only had drops and fireworks. Mini-pets don;t really count as many players didn't get their pets during the event, they get them throughout the year. Dancing Gnome 13:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Boardwalk games and things of that sort were still there, making it a much larger event than the "second level" ones. -- Txzeenath 13:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

• Does anyone know if theirs going to be a Halloween 2007 Event?

I would stake quite a lot on their being one. I would say we can be about 99% sure of it. --Lemming 01:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Gaile even confirmed it: User talk:Gaile Gray#Halloween - Tanetris 01:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanksgiving

Anyone know if there is going to be any thing planned for the Thanksgiving Holiday? I know there has'nt been in the past but I was hoping this year would be different. Could be a Fall Harvest Fest or something. Would be cool. Ghost

Thanksgiving is different for each country (for those that have it) I would put the odds of it at very small.--Ryudo 04:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

But Thanksgiving is HUGE in the United States. I think players from other countries would not mind another special event.

I believe there IS this year...the Scribe mentioned two items would be available during Thanksgiving weekend...

[edit] Wintersday 2007

When will there be information on the Wintersday 2007 event available for all to view; prizes, mini games, holiday goodies, etc? Mike

As soon as ANet announces it. - HeWhoIsPale 16:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there a time frame in which they announce this event.

[edit] Canthan New Year 2008

Just a small question, will there be an event ? Gib Resahp 13. Jan 2008

Not a big chance it is unsure @ the moment but do not count on it. Let me refer to the Gaile/Frog talk page. Cult Mephisto

I hope there is going to be one, I thought it was such a fun festival last year. I think I heard someone say it is going to be the year of the rat this year. ^^ But I haven't really checked it out personnaly. --Alien 15:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Valentine's Day?

Nothing special for Valentine's Day? --- Silverleaf 11:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Guess we have to wait for St. Patty's Day...Dbdghost 04:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Next Event?

Shouldn't we maybe include something on here about what is the next probable event. Like have it listed somewhere that the Luckey Weekend is likely the next Guild Wars Holiday Event?Lintor 03:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Farewell Gaile

If its not a community event, where's the prove that its an official event? Unless I c prove I'm gonna remove it from this article and tag the article for deletion. --MageMontu 18:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Guild Wars.com -- Brains12 \ Talk 18:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

How the Hell did I not c that. I'm getting blind ><. Sorry about that :P --MageMontu 18:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

No worries. -- Brains12 \ Talk 18:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wintersday in July 2008?

is that even real? If so, proof pls--Raph Talky 01:55, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Load the game, that's the sauce.--Fighterdoken 02:02, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Confirmed O.oDominator Matrix 02:11, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

For the Wintersday in July special weekend event, the only thing that will be turned on are the Snow Arenas. source is here if you wanna read it. Fall 02:14, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I know this is a stretch, but has anyone heard if there's going to be a 2x party points feature this weekend along with the event? in the future? -elviondale (tahlk) 15:32, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Pwned. — ク Eloc 貢 23:07, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

So no gifts or boardwalk or mask, right? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Alaris (talk).

Woops, sry. -- Alaris 15:47, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mini Pet Day 2008?

Source please. Fall 18:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I believe the editor (both IP and User:TheMiniPetMan) is the event's creator... poke | talk 19:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I noticed it finally ^^ moved it to player hosted events from official. Fall 19:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Time line?

Can someone make a list/time line of upcoming events as a pet project? like on a user page. I always miss stuff cause I have no idea when events are or that they even exist most of the time. I would do it but I'm so bad at it and I wont be able to maintain it or find all the events, cause some aren't listed on this page that I know of like Blade Radio's minipet giveaway. Please someone with some free time that's kind enough to do this help me out. --Amantis 20:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Am I missing anything?--Amantis 22:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

This is in responce to the question about Blade Radio. I will be building a full wiki page for it soon. Though its called "Nights Of The Mini Pets"...its a 3 day long event. From October 30th-November 1st...for those 3 days straight Blade Radio is giving away 400+ minis valued at over 5.6 million in gold's worth. If you have more questions, please feel free to hit me up on my wiki talk page. - Tesla 06:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Events in order

For the sake of making it easier to find a player run event, would it be possible for me to arrange the player run event listings into alphabetical order? Frozenwind 04:05, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

The only issue I see is that they are now in temporal order, which makes it easy to find the new events. If you want to have both listings, then go ahead. -- Alaris 13:42, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Make a sortable table with date and name entries. Rose Of Kali 19:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

There not in order when date is concerned, some at the top are before or after others. Simply put, its a mess =D Frozenwind 03:29, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't like them in Alphabetical order like TEF put them just now, even though it's the easiest way to give them any kind of order. They're more useful in chronological, maybe with dates next to the links as well, making them easier to organize in the future. Alpha order is completely useless if you don't know if the event is coming next week or ended 2 years ago. Rose Of Kali 18:14, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't have an order preference. However, previously, the section provided no information to someone like me who was unfamiliar with the events. A more useful list of events would be a sortable table (rather than an unsortable list); columns could include event name, last date, annual vs. one-off, highlight(s), and perhaps # of times held, sponsors, etc. Tennessee Ernie Ford 23:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] will they?

which events will repeat, which ones wont, and which ones are undecided? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.150.27.87 (talk).

Those that seem to occur every year, those that don't seem to occur every year, and those that ArenaNet hasn't decided yet. -- ab.er.rant 05:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
