I pretty much enjoy every World event that comes along. there is something so accomplishing about getting each achievement, getting the title, and parading around with it proudly. However, I have enjoyed Hallow's End the best.The first year I ever played i, I got my Headless Horseman, master almost all the achievement, and I enjoyed helping out all the guildies with their wands.
Brewfest. Unlimited beer, who wouldn't love it?
I like Pirates Day, it's one day and no one is annoying the hell out of you over it.
Lunar Festival, definitely. I like how it actually takes you to Moonglade and makes you do things instead of either having a massive queue button for the entire event. I also really like Moonglade as a zone in general I guess, which helps. :p
It's honestly hard to choose. I've been participating in the holidays long before achievements existed, way back in Vanilla when the rewards were just bag space clutter, but the enjoyment of the event was all the reason to stay.I remember doing Brewfest on what would have been considered an alt. Way long back when the stein was yellow. I had no competitive drive back then, so I didn't try to get my hands on a bunch of tickets, or even get the hands tamp. In the end, the toon I did Brewfest on was eventually deleted (along with the only yellow stein I ever had), so it brings up fond memories of the past and characters gone and forgotten. Plus, beating up dwarves is always a wonderful past time. Farming the crap out of Coren, back before the once-a-day-loot system was put into place, was always a fun time with friends and fellow guildies.Winter's Veil was the first holiday I did alt-runs with. Doing all the little quests to save Metzen and the snowman, to beat up The Greench. It was also the first holiday that made me want to play my other toons. It's probably the holiday that turned me into an altoholic, because I made sure to complete everything on all of my alts at the time. I even did them on servers I rarely ever played on, so it was quite an extensive use of my free time. XDLunar Festival is a favorite. It forces you to explore zones you'd never normally venture in to, especially back before flying was allowed. Traveling through the underbrush and wood of Feralas, scouring the deserts of Silithus, running in terror from Devilsaurs in Un'goro, to beating up pirates in Stranglethorn, just to find Elders to honor.Though I think the one holiday I get truly excited for the most is gonna have to be Hallow's End. Always a fan of Halloween in real life, the idea of the majority of the population dressing up in scary, to beautiful, to crazy, to gorey costumes just brings the fantasy I play video games for to life for one day. I hate the in-game event because of the RNG being frustratingly cruel about the masks (before this year, of course), and the idea that the mount would only ever drop on toons I didn't play enough to bother using it on (aka my dk). The helmet and the sword are my favorite part of the holiday, well.. And the feline familiar addition to this year. A cat in a witch hat? What could be better?Here's hoping that any and all future additions to Hallow's End, and all the other holidays, just keep making them better and better. The day the holidays aren't fun anymore, is the day that logging on just isn't worth it.
Wow, that's a hard one for me. I would say it's a tie between four really; each for different reasons of course.The first would have to Midsummer Fire Festival largely because it was my first WoW holiday. When I first participated in it I was a level 15 Belf Paladin, so I couldn't really do too much. It was then and now that I like to level characters because of the XP and damaged boost that is given out. Also, the subplot about Ragnaros and Ahune was interesting to a new WoW player.The second is Hallow's End. The reason being is similar to Midsummer in that it was my first WoW holiday that I was able to really participate in its entirety. The costumes the trick or treating also helps me recapture a time when I did that as a kid, so the form of nostalgia is also fun. Also the first time I actively went after a rare drop... damn mount and pet farming drove me insane.Third is Pilgrim's Bounty for more recent reasons. I had a bout of insomnia and I managed to complete the holiday in its entirety in a handful of hours. The cooking aspect is incredibly fun in my opinion because I'm a shameless altoholic and raising cooking all the way helps prevent me from rerolling constantly; not much, but enough... kind of. The turkey sensing its destiny is one of my favorite pets if only for the sheer audacity and plain hilarity. The first holiday where I really just messed around with my guild too.Last, but definitely not least is Winter Veil. Christmas is my favorite holiday, not just because of the gifts, but because my favorite foods are made then. Too bad Winter Veil doesn't show more cooking related things, but I guess that's more of a Bounty thing. I like the quests, the flying reindeer, the grinch whose name escapes me, and best of all is the different gifts received each year that gives the feel of realism... except for the damn re-gifters. You know who you are. And dancing snowmen never hurt anyone. And it was the first holiday where I actually enjoyed the quests.I love most of the holidays of WoW and could go on forever about them, but these four mark milestones in my WoW career. So in a way they occupy a special place in my heart.
I would have to go with the Midsummer Fire Festival! The Ribbon Dance experience buff is always nice when I'm leveling one of my many alts!
Noblegardens is my favorite holiday, hunting for eggs, being turned into a bunny and of course Chocolate!
Think mine would have to be Summerfest. It's the first one I've ever finished all achieves for and the only holiday i did with local friends before we all split for college. Good old days.
