You know, we get so few Thanksgiving events in MMORPGs that we could count them on one hand, but for Christmas we get so many that we can barely cover them all. One we won’t be missing this year is Fractured Online, as the newly officially launched and now newly free-to-play MMORPG sandbox has opened its own winter holiday, and it’s just calling it Christmas. Usually there’s some sort of lore-ish euphemism. Not here.
“The nine reindeers of Santa Claus have landed on Elysium – and they’re available for all players to catch!” Dynamight Studios says. “From now until January 6, each horse that spawns in the world has a small chance to feature a limited edition Reindeer skin. Catch it with your animal net, and the skin will be permanently unlocked for your account! As the true celebrity of the bunch, the Rudolph skin is 3 times rarer than the others. Who will find it first?”
Probably not us.
The team also says it’s put founder/support packs on sale for 20% off, plus there are tons of boosts on offer through this weekend: 100% to divine reward drops and divine favor gains, plus 50% buffs to gold drops from mobs and faster knowledge gains from mobs. Additionally, the studio has buffed all glory gains – permanently – by a third. Not too shabby.
