The holiday season is among us. At least, that’s what I have to conclude when I go out shopping. It seems that in a few years we’re due for a new holiday called “HannuHalloThanksKwanzMas” when the vendors don’t know anymore which merchandise to put up for sale first!
Here at SOE’s Customer Service we just celebrated Halloween. We’re holding contests for the best decorated cubicle/office area, best costume, funniest costume etc. every year and it is always a good reason to dress up. What can I say, we work hard and we play hard and what better way then to combine play with work?
Below are a few pictures that I took during the day.
Here are most of the CS and QA folks that dressed up that day. From Flavor Flav to the Phantom of the Opera, from Pirates to a bumble bee.
Of course, the party wouldn’t be complete without:
The Zodiac killer and Captain Kirk
The Vanguard QA group made a complete dungeon of their area with fake stone walls, torture tools and awesome looking weapons.
My team created an EQII quest with a level 1.0 Epic spider (don’t ask why the spider was called PM Spider, I really have NO clue!) guarded by 0.5’s lil spiders. The goal of the quest was to distract all the spiders long enough so you could steal the eggs.
As for me; I decided “what better way then to distract an epic with the “big hug tactic!” Trust me when I say that my guild is always appears extremely happy when I deploy this tactic (NOT!). I still feel it is a valid way to pull a mob, my guild and raid members are less convinced and will mumble a bit about “silly Dutch women” when I rez them.
Ahhh, it was all good fun. The winners for the cubicle decorating contest and the costume contest have just been announced and I think everyone is happy with the outcome and had a good time.
And now we move on to the next holiday; Thanksgiving is already around the corner and we’re seeing candy corn and cranberry sauce and turkey pictures everywhere. Sugar rush anyone???
