For instance, one can create a dance routine that lasts minutes long by stringing together various emotes and dances.
I re-enacted the entire scene from the Zero Wing "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" with my three Meta-Physicist pets.

Funcom's marketing department is absolutely their weakest link.
Which is a damned shame, because Funcom has always had developers with tremendous creativity and imagination--especially their world builders (and also their music composers). What Funcom does well, they do very very well--and those qualities should be allowed to speak for themselves.
But the marketing department comes along and perverts and distorts so much of what's really going on with their products--and always to great detriment.
There are SO many cool and neat touches to the Carnival. Its definitely worth delving into the festivities and enjoying everything being offered. The carnival atmosphere Trion created is really well done.
The first phase raid rift is melded together really nicely with storytelling.
There is so much to experience throughout this World Event, as it lasts for SEVEN weeks--there's a ton of content and each week a whole new phase kicks in with new and different things to do. :-)
