    It goes all way back to pre-PC launch. But they said they would love to do them.

    Yeah, I remember that one too, from way back when...

    It would be cool, true. But... there's so much other stuff they have to do, I am not expecting much this year. Maaaybe next though...

    They used to say no they don't think they fit in this game, interesting the change in tune, I've always said holidays would be perfect in this game due to the well established calendar.

    Yeah, holidays don't have to be the same as real world ones. Or they could have similarities, and differences.

    I remember frostfell in EQ2. It happens in December and has similarities to Christmas. Most cultures have holidays of some sort.

    I don't understand why people want holiday event's in my opinion its just a waste of coding time. I mean sure one or two days everyone is wearing something stupid and lore breaking then it goes away. Also I imagine all of the stuff would be sold in the crown store for 2k+ crowns.

    I personally feel that we could see Tamrielic holiday events in game multiple times per year and that we could have crown store events for real world holidays. Releasing skeletal mounts, scarecrow and jack-o-lantern polymorphs seems a bit much because that is adding "Halloween-type" items to the game... but that's for another thread. I think seeing a Halloween celebration that gives us a 25% off sale of all costumes in the crown store would be ideal.

    ANYWAY.... I agree, we should have holiday events. I outline some of my thoughts in the following link, please take a look and comment if you like or dislike what I suggest.

    If you are wanting Christmas and Easter type stuff, a Tamriel version doesn't really exist in lore (Some of them kinda do, but even then there are differences) and shouldn't be added for the sake of doing it to please people who don't care about the lore.

    If you want holidays added that are already established in the lore however I'm all for it.

    I don't know, something from the Worm cult taking over the world with their religion and replacing established celebrations with their own or a Zombie resurrection day might be worked in there.

    /sarcasm off


    Seriously tho I wouldn't mind seeing Tamrielic holidays without the taint of RL events in there.

    We don't know that. All we know is that the necromancer mounts and those stupid costumes are coming.

    What you like is irrelevant to me, just as I assume the lore is irrelevant to you to a degree.

    All I'm saying is that we don't know if an event is coming.

    I find it humorous how some plan to buy these mounts just because they know there will be those that are annoyed by them.

    It isn't humorous, it's childish.

    The mounts aren't the issue to me, the costumes are. They wouldn't even really be an issue if Zenimax would actually put the stuff in the freaking world and give more lore on them than a throwaway sentence.

    That's all I really want. Justification for their existence. If that's unreasonable, then I guess I'm being unreasonable.

    In fact, I made a thread about that very thing at the beginning of June:
