I was just in the winter zone. You can get the ornaments this year by fighting the snowmen, finding them in piles of snowballs or buying packs using lobi crystals, which obviously forces us to open Lock Boxes 🙁

Here is a graphic of all the items available.

The race gives out 40 Autographed pictures of Q as a reward and 1000 pictures gets you a Breen Ship, which is not bad I suppose. The only thing is that you need to run this event 25 times or so to get enough pictures.

You can still buy the winter food items and create a winter tribble.

Also you can find winter Epohh tags and breed winter Epohh’s – i found one tag in a snowball pile – you need 6 to start the doff assignment. You can also get these by winning the Fast and Furious race.

There is also the accolade for finding all the snowmen like last year 🙂

I just realised you can sit on top of a snowball pile and mine it with the f key. took me about 20 mins to earn enough for a scarf. I’m going to set up a macro tonight and mine for 24 hours lol, I’ll see if it works 🙂

Dont forget to check the events schedules, we have alot of things setup for everyone. I have even made one special for this coming monday. Please join in with your fleet mates and take time to enjoy the game with everyone. I would really like to get a shot of all of us for a “Winter 2012” portrait.

Woo, I will try my best – I may be starting a new job in the next couple of days doing night shift so my hours will be totally reversed. I think that before work my normal play times should stay the same, but there may be some disruptions.
