Think you know all of World of Warcraft’s holidays backwards and forwards by now? The MMO says otherwise, as it’s preparing to unleash a year’s worth of “micro-holidays” with Patch 7.1.5. Micro-holidays are shorter duration events that aren’t tied to real-world festivities but instead are just fun little things to do.
Icy Veins has the schedule of the nine or so micro-holidays that will be rolled out over the course of 2017 and beyond. The first is a Call of the Scarabs competition between factions that harkens back to the old world event where the Horde and Alliance raced to open the gates of Ahn’Qiraj.
Other micro-holidays include a tavern crawl, the march of the murloc tadpoles, a spring balloon festival, a sailboat bash, and even a day where players will take the place of the hard-working NPC guards. So standing still in one place is an event now? If you say so, Blizzard!
