Our guild has had a fantastic time helping each other complete the Keg End event. It is so funny seeing my friend lugging around his backpack of ale mugs and kegs on his Engineer.
While news has been sparse from around the community regarding the event due to the holidays, we want to hear from you on what you have been up to this weekend. Join us in our latest "The Weekend Update" post!
The Allakhazam team would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas today, as well as a safe and happy holiday season. We hope you're all able to spend some time with your family and friends. Also, if you get some time to log in to your game of choice today, we hope you get the chance to participate in its holiday festivities. After all, the grind never stops, but in-game events like these don't happen very often.
Holiday cheer is also being spread in most of our forums, so feel free to visit them and continue in the discussions. For Final Fantasy XI fans, members of the Allakhazam community have written "The 12 Days of Vana'diel." As I mentioned in a previous news post, the World of Warcraft community wrote "The 12 Days of Winter Veil." I'm sure somebody out there must have a decent singing voice and a microphone...
For you Star Wars Galaxies fans, Instigator has posted the official Allakhazam SWG holiday picture. If you have any festive in-game screenshots, we'd love to see them. Also, let us know if you got any good loot, both in-game and out.
Happy holidays everyone!
A lovely Christmas poem and holiday thanks from Mark Davis was posted on WAR Herald a few moments ago. Have a safe and happy holidays everyone!
'Twas the night before Keg End, and as the hour grew later
The devs all worked hard to make WAR even greater
The Ogres and Snotlings were spawned with great care,
In hopes that the players would find them all thereThe artists were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of fireworks danced in their heads;

Now you have a way to get all your friends to try Warhammer Online without them saying things like, "Well, Berek, I just don't have the money and I'm already playing WoW right now..." Here's the chance to give them a taste of WAR on their own time:
The Realm War continues to rage and the armies of Order and Destruction are always on the lookout for new recruits. Do you know a brave warrior that could bolster the ranks? You could earn 30 days of free game time when you recruit family and friends to join the battle in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning!
