Sony Online Entertainment is decking the halls this holiday season with in-game activities and festive-themed events in many of its live titles. EverQuest® and EverQuest® II players will enjoy yet another year of the Frostfell celebration while the popular EverQuest online trading card game, Legends of Norrath™, will be starting a new tradition. Not to be outshone by its Norrathian counterpart, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes™ is celebrating the holiday season in Telon, and in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars Galaxies™ players will enjoy the spectacular experience of Wookiee Life Day.

EQ
Winter brings many joyful celebrations to locations around the globe, and the world of Norrath is no exception. This year’s Frostfell promises festive décor and special events within EverQuest. Players will face new challenges as the holidays approach, along with a very special rescue. It appears that someone has been kidnapping the Snowdwarves of Norrath, Santug’s toy-making helpers. Without these toys, Santug cannot make his deliveries to all good Norrathian girls and boys, preventing the festival of Frostfell. Without Frostfell, winter will never end and Norrath will be trapped in an endless season of cold and darkness! Zoog in Great Divide is seeking help to discover where Santug’s helpers have been taken, free them, and ultimately face the one who is behind this sinister plot.

EQ2
Frostfell already started in EverQuest II and boasts new recipes, decorations and quests to be discovered by curious residents. Players will encounter gift-giving Gigglegibber within Freeport, Qeynos, Kelethin, Neriak and Gorowyn handing out daily gifts to all. Players will be able to enter the Frostfell zone via closets within Freeport, Qeynos, Kelethin, Neriak and Gorowyn. Within each zone, residents will find holiday themed fun for tradeskillers and quest goers alike. There will be something new for everyone, as well as the return of some previous favorites!

LON
This holiday season, Legends of Norrath players will be able to save the jolliest of Norrath denizens, Santug Claugg, from the clutches of the cold-hearted Grinnuch. Starting December 21, players will be overcome with the holiday spirit thanks to a special Legends of Norrath holiday story, featuring The Grinnuch and his army of miscreants as they try to ruin Frostfell for all the girls and boys of Norrath. Each time you defeat The Grinnuch in the “Saving Santug” scenario with a new deck archetype, you will free Santug and earn a special Santug Claugg promotional card!

SWG
Citizens of Star Wars Galaxies will have even more to enjoy this year as they celebrate Wookiee Life Day across the galaxy in mid-December. Major cities in the galaxy will light up with the dazzling glow of the gigantic Wroshyr Tree, which offers gifts to all who visit it! This year's celebration will feature an incredible visual spectacle centered on the tree itself with its dazzling display of light effects and beautiful holiday melodies performed by the Figrin D’an band. Gifts galore will bring the festive air of this fantastic holiday to each and every citizen.

Venguard
This year, the holidays will bring great joy to the heroes of Telon, who will be richly rewarded for their brave deeds and loyal service throughout the year. The spectacular rewards, kicking off mid-month, include a variety of special items such as a new Reindeer mount which, for a limited time, gains the magical ability to fly. To brighten everyone’s day, or night rather, certain cities will be decorated with holiday lights bringing the joy of the holidays to every citizen. If players have been good the past year, they might even find themselves presented with gifts when near such decorations. Finally, just wandering around the countryside this holiday will be rewarding as heroic helpers, also known as Customer Service Reps, will be dropping holiday-themed items like cookies that will offer special buffs and bonuses.

Some pirate card game
This holiday season Pirates Constructible Strategy Game™ Online players will be able to deck their opponent’s halls with the mighty Zeus! A special digital promotional ship, the Zeus, and its captain, King Blackheart, will be gifted with each purchase of ten Pirates digital game packs from the Pirates CSG Online Store between December 21, 2007 and January 7, 2008. The Zeus is a 10-masted Chinese junk ship that has been captured by King Blackheart to use in his nefarious schemes. When the Zeus wins a boarding roll you can take as much treasure as you want from your opponent’s ship. King Blackheart gives gifts just like Santa Claus! Blackheart can give the Zeus or any ship in your fleet an extra action. That means you can fire all ten of the Zeus’ cannons twice! Not many fleets can withstand that that kind of a pounding.

Took the words out of my mouth, it honestly sucks that Sony picks this time of the year to tell us we were omitted.

Oh *CENSORED* you, SOE.  You've made it abundantly clear that this game does not fit into your marketing, or any future plans, but the least you could do is include us in your *CENSORED* lineup. 

Is MxO really that shameful?  Is it really the uncle who shows up drunk and horny at family gatherings?  Not even warranting a mere mention is just an insult to the players who allow MxO to "...hit financial targets everytime...".  Why not even mention the game in the list?  It's hardly going to bring down your 'sparkling' lineup.  I just don't understand the thinking behind that decision. 

Unknownshadow, your voice is required once again.

I say again, *CENSORED* you, SOE.

(Excuse the rare outburst, but that just leaves such a bitter taste.)

Somehow, the phrase "red-headed step-child" doesn't even come close. Sony's product for one of the biggest franchises in movie history is 'forgotten' and doesn't even get a mention in general marketing communications.

I'd say someone from SOE marketing needs a good *CENSORED*-chewing.

I think it'd be easier to talk to Virrago on this one, he's probably the one that would send information for this stuff.

I was actually impressed with the Podcast because they talked about MxO's Holidays longer than whatever was before it by a large amount, but...it seems like whatever person writes up the emails has no clue what SOE's game lineup is.

Wow, I think this is twice now that the newsletter forgot to mention us. Good thing they promoted that Card game in game a few months back, or a year ago or whenever they did that. Card games must be what SOE wants to advertise rather than MxO SMILEY
