Subject: How Blizzard Stole Christmas |
| |
To Blizzard with love,
All the players down in Azeroth liked Christmas a lot, But the Blizzard staff, who lived just north of Azeroth, did not.
The Blizzard hated Christmas the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason.
It could be, perhaps, that their shoes were too tight. Or maybe their heads weren't screwed on just right.
But I think that the best reason of all
May have been that their hearts were two sizes too small.
Blizzard staff: We must stop this whole thing!
Why, for one whole year, We've put up with it now. We must stop Christmas from coming, but how?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages boxes, or bags!
And they puzzled three hours, till their puzzlers were sore.
Then the Blizzard staff thought of something they hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas," they thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."
And then the true meaning of Christmas came through, And the Blizzard staff found the strength of ten Grinches, plus two.
Ok Blizz, it's December 12, where's Christmas? I've been waiting patiently, I've been good all year. I would like to get into my Christmasee cheer. Where are my snowballs, my enchantments, and rings? My gift boxes, eggnog, ribbons, and things?
Did you really steal Christmas? Please tell me it's a lie! If you really stole Christmas, surely I'll die.
Please Blizzard if you have a heart, please tell us all when Christmas will start!
Just when you thought my poem was done, the players would like you to give this a run!
The 1.9 patch, what's the hold up? It's taking so long, did you spill your coffee cup? We would like to see it live on our servers, filling us with a mighty fervor.
Oh please Blizzard, tell us where's our 1.9 patch! I'm baking some cookies, and I'll give you a batch!
Sincerly,
Pika[ post edited by Pika ]

My dearest of Pikas, sweet gnome clad in pink,
I'm saddened, appalled, nay, crushed that you'd think
We'd forget the best, merriest time of the year
And leave all of Azeroth bereft of cheer.
Rest assured, my dear Pika, the glorious Feast
Is coming for Humanoid, Undead and Beast
On the 15th of this month, just three short, scant days
So prepare to party in Winter Veil ways.
"But Cay," you might say, "The Feast is old hat!
"I saw it last year! Tell me, what good is that?"
Ahh, but Greatfather Winter is clever and kind;
There are all-new attractions and goodies to find!
So be not dismayed by the lack of Veil cheer...
It's around the corner, yes, coming this year!
Now regarding the patch we've been testing for you,
We still need some time, as there are tasks to do.
We encourage your feedback when testing the patch
So our own testing team can try your points, and match
The bug to reproducible known issue notes.
Your help is appreciated, and promotes
A better relationship from day to day;
But still, once again, I give no ETA.
;)
(EDIT: Minor meter correction.. still across the board and horrid, but eh. :P )[ post edited by Caydiem ]
Good daycycle, Citizen!

Q u o t e:
Not to be a poop, but, would be a nice gesture to put a Menorah in somewhere......!?!?!
My good Tauren Candya, I know that your heart
May sometimes in these times feel further apart
From those who celebrate now in other ways;
Remember, however, that December days
In Azeroth are spent in one giant Feast!
No menorah, no manger, and the only Priest
Is 60, Undead, lobbing snowballs at you;
It's a fantasy world, and within it are new
Adventures and holidays gone from real life.
To say otherwise brings upon all much strife.
It is Winter Veil, Candya, and so raise your glass!
A new year is coming, the old one will pass!
Kill Greenches, drink egg nog, get presents each night
For the Earthmother loves you, and so does the Light!
:)
Good daycycle, Citizen!

Q u o t e:
Will last year's quests still be completable this year? The patch notes seemed to imply that they would.
Yep.
Good daycycle, Citizen!

Q u o t e:
So you took the time to write a poem but you will not take the time to reduce the server lag huh?
I think it's a nice poem.
As it is not my job to work on the servers (and I don't think you want me doing so), no. :P
