Hey, at least Bob’s Burgers is trying to create Thanksgiving music — and a select few MMORPGs are trying to fashion in-game events for this food-laden American holiday. That’s right, it’s time to escape from our families and recover from consuming 5,000 calories in one sitting by playing online games.
As per our tradition, one of the ways that we here at MOP thank you for being our readers is to give you a guide for MMO Thanksgiving events. Ready, set… consume!

Grand Fantasia is celebrating Thanksgiving with a huge feast: “A gobble-tastic costume and a new title await the players who succeed in returning the missing ingredients of Sous Chef Reyna in time for the big celebration.”

Dress up like historical Pilgrims in World of Warcraft, why not, and play pass-the-food in this year’s Pilgrim’s Bounty. Wowhead has a great guide to lead you through the event.
