I was just wondering, will Spiral Knights ever have some special holiday events in the near future? I am not saying bring the easter holiday event now, but sometime later when the game is out for about a couple a months settled.
I don't know, I just this simple idea because every other MMO always have some kind of fun/funny stuff during their holiday events! :P
I like the ideas of regular holidays in games. There would need to be an in-game calendar if the devs didn't want to follow real-world dates. Kingdom of Loathing does this quite well--the in-game calendar only runs for a few real-world months, so regular holidays (versions of Halloween, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, along with some that have no Earthly analogs) come around a few times a year. The exceptions are for holidays that reflect actual holidays, their version of Christmas being a big example.
I can understand that something like this wouldn't be near the top of whatever the Three Rings equivalent of a whiteboard of doom may be, but it's nice consider when all the major bug fixes are out of the way. I find it gives the world its own unique flavor.
In the Preview Event there was a "Holiday Cheer" update that created Santa Hats (with snow effects) that dropped from chests. All the monsters were also given little hats.
