Look on the top, next to Wintersday you can see ‘January 2013’, with a lock, just like the December update was a few minutes ago

They just added the banner, probably still working on finishing it.

A whole month of it too! Wintersday in GW1 was always my favorite event from any MMO, really looking forwards to this.

I wonder if Grentches will be making a return appearance?

It goes to the December update page, it’s just that they made the December update page redirect to the GW2 homepage at the moment.

Can’t wait. Want more info…

Hopefully there won’t be skins locked in chests this time… Just make them individual BLTC items (as well as in the chests if they really have to have those kitten things, for those few gamblers).

Good its a long event.. Hurrah

Definitely. Hopefully no one-time events (other than cut-scenes) and we get enough time to do whatever the achievements are gonna be (You know there are gonna be some).

Anyone else hoping to get to explore inside that airship/thing? (second pic. I’m assuming its Tixx’s airship)

I would love to see something like this for the ladies. Less skimpy though, but at least the Hood style and Boots.

I think you forgot to say the minis will also be in the chest with a really low drop rate…

I’m not sure how they could make a Grentch costume though. If anything a Grentch tonic. (I can’t be the only one hoping for a sexy elf (preferably red and white default colored) costume (at least for female characters)

Thats what I’m talking about. Agree it could be a bit less skimpy, but there are already actual armors that are that skimpy.

Anyways,
How, if even included, will the traditional Grenth VS. Dwayna be included? Since that’s only for humans.

I can easily see humans trying to imitate the game of their old gods, fighting each other disguised in Dwayna or Grenth partisans.

Also, I really hope that Wintersday will happen in every city so that we have the chance to see how each race considers this event. War toys (mom, I want a wood sword!) for Charrs, technologic things for Asuras (wooah, I can command this mini-golem X-452MAS), curiosity for Sylvari (trying to imitate the others, but no children, just plants growing for winter), and beer & fights for Norns, obviously.

Hopefully that’s sarcasm, cause there’s already coal as a crafting material.

Especially toys that of course WILL go horribly wrong/awry (either intentionally, accidentally, or due to inquest tampering). Or toys that will/can go on a npc murdering/crime/theft spree

Love the sound of this. Wintersday was always my favourite event in GW1 as well. Good to hear all the cities will be involved, too.

Hope there are some proper costumes and nice things in the gem store though, not just RNG chests.
