The Midsummer Fire Festival Begins
by Nethaera | 19/06/2008 21:07:26 Each summer, the arrival of the Midsummer Fire Festival ( http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/events/midsummer/) signals a time of merriment and a chance to revel in the hottest season of the year by lighting celebratory bonfires across the land and sharing in what the elemental spirits have to offer. This year (beginning Saturday, June 21st and continuing until July 5), the festival features some brand-new events, quests, and prizes, including a special summoned boss for groups of high-level players. Learn more about the new Midsummer Fire Festival content in our updated page, (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/events/midsummer/) which also includes a new screenshot gallery.

It should technically be midnight the night of the 20th and the 4th. This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine And where shadows fall, let darkness feast. The dichotomy of truth, found in the cobwebbed corners flickering in the luminescence of flame. |

It was all updated to indicate it starts the 21st to match our calendar date. :) This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine And where shadows fall, let darkness feast. The dichotomy of truth, found in the cobwebbed corners flickering in the luminescence of flame. |
by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 10:38:43 To clarify, it's 4AM server time. I checked and rechecked the data, and made a post about it earlier. All is working properly at this stage. ;) Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
| by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 10:41:52 Yep, he drops a badge. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 10:46:51
No, I'm fairly certain that isn't how it works. ;) Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 11:33:09
65+ for the quest. You can level once, or if you have some pals who can support you, you can likely kill non-heroic Ahune. ;) Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
| by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 11:42:31 No, the Wild Fires and Light in Dark Places quests are no longer active. If you have them completed but not turned in, you can turn them in, but there are a bunch of new quests and mechanics in their stead this year. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
| by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 12:19:13 Heh, I was one of the developers behind the holiday -- I'm just making sure everything's in working order. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
| by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 18:53:34 After the crab, a daily should open up for you; what you're probably seeing is the quest that leads you to Ahune, which is 65 and would therefore show as silver to you.

Were you aware there are four racial capital cities now? >_> Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 19:19:43
Hm, all right, good to know -- just head back to your capital, the elder should have a quest for you. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 19:25:45
All right, I'll look into it; thanks for the report. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
| by Kisirani | 21/06/2008 14:43:50 For those who haven't seen it -- there is an issue with the sub-65 Inform the Elder portion, and we're working on fixing it. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 22/06/2008 17:42:05
As I purposely removed the quests myself, with my own two hands and my devious mind, I'm fairly certain I'm in the right. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 22/06/2008 18:30:52
That's unfortunately something I can't help you with. I didn't communicate at any point that the lack of those quests was unintentional. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
| by Kisirani | 22/06/2008 19:24:32 If you'd like to give feedback on a GM experience, you're welcome to email wowgmfeedback-us@blizzard.com. That's all I'm able to do for you. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
| by Kisirani | 23/06/2008 19:03:47 The Honor/Desecrate quests, as well as the Zoram Strand questline, are once per year. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 23/06/2008 21:55:36
The Zoram Strand chain gives some, but moreover it unlocks another daily. Doing the torch tossing, torch catching, and Striking Back quests should give you a decent intake per day. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |

I've mentioned this a few times, but to reiterate, there was an issue this weekend with lower levels being unable to accept the Inform the Elder quest. It should be resolved now, so please try again. If you're still seeing the problem, let me know what level you are and what realm you're on. All characters over level 16 should be able to accept it. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
by Kisirani | 30/06/2008 19:44:31
Everyone 50 and up can do it. Your friendly neighborhood World Designer. "The basic molecular structure of your little friend is still vastly compromised. Hand me that staple gun." |
