With all of those micro-holidays World of Warcraft is sporting these days, you’d be forgiven if you forgot that the MMO still runs full-fledged holiday events as well. The Midsummer Fire Festival has arrived to remind us all of enduring events and the cleansing power of the flame.
In addition to all of the content from previous years, the dev team has tossed a few new features for this year’s Fire Festival. Frost Lord Ahune has increased in difficulty and additional bonfires have been lit across Draenor and the Broken Isles. There’s even an achievement to finding all of the fires.
There are also two new rewards: a set of matches (burn baby burn!) and an Igneous Flameling elemental battle pet. Perhaps it’s better to encourage players to focus their pyromaniac tendencies in video games than real life?
