The Hallow's End world event a few months ago was the first ever to world event to make use of the Achievements feature but is finally time to have another one. The Feast of the Winter Veil is here and it should be more fun than ever because of two things, Achievements and the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.
The snow balls, the goblin device that turns us into gnomish Great-Father Winter helpers, the presents, mistletoe - these are all the nice extras that makes this holiday an interesting one. Just these things make the holiday fun and if you include the achievemtns and the many quests one can do at this time, it's even more fun.
One of the things that gave me a laugh when the Achievements feature came out was Bros. Before Ho Ho Ho's since it's a nice pun on the famous saying. After looking at the difference between the Horde and Alliance version of that Achievement, I feel like the Horde sort of got the shaft here. The Alliance have to visit more people but it's all in Azeroth so a lot of people can do this easily at lower levels (as low as the 30's in fact). In fact, most are in Stormwind City. The Horde version only requires 3 people but that requirement to visit someone in Icecrown means that you need to be at least 77 to complete it. Other achievements are also fun like PvP as a Little Helper or throwing a snowball at Cairne Bloodhoof or Magni Bronzebeard.
Happy Feast of the Winter Veil and I hope you enjoy!
