It's that time of year again for the Canthan New Year's celebrations in ArenaNet's Guild Wars. This year's festivities begin at Noon Pacific on Friday, January 30, 2009 and run until Noon Pacific on Monday, February 2, 2009.

The in-game event will include special gifts to boost your sugar or booze titles, festival quests, fireworks displays, fortune telling, boardwalk games, Rollerbeetle Racing and much more! Plus, as a special gift, there will be a miniature Celestial Ox to replace the miniature Celestial Rat you may have received last year. The finale will include a visit from the great Celestial Ox himself every three hours. See ya there!

Those moogles are crazy, ya'know? First they almost cause a buffalo stampede for the opening of the Mog House Management Union Buffalo Bonanza Ranch (try saying that three times fast) and only now do they realize that buffalo eat a lot. Sadly, these poor moogles ended up working during all of the holiday festivities just to keep their buffalo happy. That's heartbreaking by anybody's standards.

Yet, while the moogles work, herdsmen have come from the ranch on behalf of the MHMU to bring us buffalo based treats and festivities to the streets of the four main cities of Vana'diel. Plus, if you journey outside of your city's walls, you're bound to run into a few loose buffalo being chased by the MHMU ranchers. Trade them some of your unwanted items, and perhaps they might be so kind to pay you back with free buffs, or new year's gifts!

To make sure we didn't miss anything with this story, I spoke with Masskupoively, our resident news moogle. He provided great insight into what the MHMU was considering with this festive event.

Masskupoively: Kupo! Kuuupo, kupo kupo! Kupoooooooo~!

Truly, words spoken by a news master. Final Fantasy XI adventurers, be sure to check out the New Year's Event in Vana'diel, it's only running until January 12th!
