World of Warcraft: New Holiday Coming Soon

Posted October 31st, 2009 by Medawky

Day of the Dead comes to WoW

In a nod to El Día de los Muertos ,a holiday of remembrance that traces its routes to ancient Mexico, World of Warcraft unveils a new holiday, Day of the Dead. The holiday is observed November 1st and 2nd, just as its real world counterpart that celebrates those that we have lost, and will take place in the graveyards near all major cities throughout the game world. New items, buffs and an achievement are yours for the taking by participating in the celebration.

What better way to celebrate the memories of those we've lost than through the ritualistic power of dance -- and all the better during the Day of the Dead holiday, when we're most among their ghostly presence? Dance and revel, and the inhabitants of the spirit world will dance and revel with you, and they will receive your gifts of food and drink and take with them on their eternal journeys the knowledge that they are loved. And, if you approach Catrina in the midst of this merriment, select her, and type /dance in honor of the fallen, you will be granted an achievement and a 12-hour buff, Honor the Dead, which will change your appearance to that of Catrina or Chapman, the graveyard vendor who also appears during this holiday.
You can check out all the festivities on the official Day of the Dead page.

Awesome.
