Halloween in Azeroth
I was quite a bit surprised to find pumpkins everywhere in the main cities of World of Warcraft today.
This was already funny it itself, but the Warcraft developers didn't stop there: if you talk to an inn keeper, you can "trick or treat" and you will then receive either a candy or a wand.
The wand will randomly turn one of your party member into a pirate, a ninja, a skeleton, a worm, a miniature cat, and many more possibilities that I haven't discovered yet (click on the picture above for a larger image). At any rate, this little patch is causing hilarity throughout the various realms.
The Blizzard developers are having way too much fun.
Last Christmas I helped Father Wintertime by making him some cookies. He gave me a sausage sampler gift. Screenshot at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nelsonminar/2691059/
