MMO Holiday Event Round-Up - 2023 Edition

mmorpg.com:

While everyone else is sipping eggnog and watching old Christmas movies for the millionth time (and no, Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie!), gamers around the world will be logging into their favorite MMO to slay all sorts of beasts and collect fantastic rewards. While some developers remain on the naughty list for another year, some of our favorite MMOs made the nice list by adding tons of new quests, challenges, and presents. 

Although our list isn’t quite as long as Santa’s, we’re sure you’ll find plenty of cheer in your holiday gaming. And just in case your favorite MMO isn’t on our list, we’ll be checking throughout the next few weeks to make sure we add in any late announcements.

Get a 100% drop chance for Irkala’s Illusion Weapons when winning the Empyrean Lord’s Agent Battle and a Winter Instance 100% drop boost through December 19th.

The Winter Holiday Festival Part 1 runs through December 19th. Any character level 80+ can complete in-game surveys to earn rewards, like a Daevanien Skill Selection Box, Warm Cookie Doll Mask, and the Warm Snowman Doll Mask (once per account). Also running through December 19th is Shugo Emperor’s Vault. Once per day, characters level 80+ can help defend Shugo Emperor’s Vault once per day to earn Rusted Vault Keys.

For the entire month of December, earn challenge points by completing open-world activities for daily bonuses, a weekly unlockable chest, and the Snow Husky mount and Avatar Ring.
