Mythic hinting at possible 'Death Night' live event in February?

Another round of mysterious packages have been sent to the Warhammer Online blogging community, but this time it's not about additional classes -- oh no, this time it's personal. As in it's something of a personal ad sent by those blood-obsessed individuals known as Witch Elves. Rainbow MMO was the lucky recipient of this not-so-subtle hint at something happening in the second week of February, and of course it didn't take long for others to get in on the action as well.

The prominent guess by the fellows over at Wizards & Wenches is all of this is related to an official Dark Elf holiday called Death Night. This would be an evening where Witch Elves go crazy, pulling anyone off the street and sacrificing them to their dark god. Some of these crazed death-worshipers even go so far as to raid people's homes, which is why many Dark Elves board up their doors and windows in fear of being witch-napped.

Assuming this is landing on Valentines day (second week in February) and that Mythic is all about embracing the horror and "awesomosity" of the Warhammer IP, we'd wager that the Death Night guess is a pretty good bet.

Hmm this mysterious packages all the time and blood-obsessed, war and killing hints. Maybe its time to let the cops in on it before this goes out of hand. And that freak making this mysterious packages get taken out. Before you find him in the bathroom ready to kill you....

Very neat. I look forward to it. I'm not a big "get the prizes" event guy, but the atmosphere of Witching Night, and Heavy Metal were fantastic. Keg's End was fun too, but not as much as the other two.

Mythic does a good job w/ the events. They're humorous, but still gritty and (mostly) take up the lore. Tyinig them to the RvR lakes is what makes it worth participating in for me.

They are creative, I'll give them that. Before WAR was released if I asked to take a guess at what night would be "Death Night" I would have assumed Halloween for sure but hey this could work too.....

If they only use they creative butts to think up a better way to download there game client! File Planets two weeks download was one of the worst! And all that to end up with a broken zip file with no support what so ever!!
