Whatever you call him, he has finally come to town!<br \/>\nWith the arrival of Santa, he&#8217;s smoking a pipe where the smoke from that pipe can be seen from ANYWHERE on the Home server. It&#8217;s like a beacon of hope, of what has been a very stressful year for me.<br \/>\nThe closer you get to the smoke, you start seeing Christmas lights mixed in with it.<br \/>\nSoon, arriving in NT, you see the jolly guy.. wearing a brown suit? So you go up to him, ask him for a gift(however, this is bad if your a n00b. Prem players only get to ask Santa), and depending if you&#8217;ve been naughty or nice in Wurm(though a shock, I was nice) and get a gift. It&#8217;s up to you if you wanna open it now, or resist the temptation and open it on Christmas Day. Because it&#8217;s the only present you&#8217;ll get from him.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s contents could be anything. I wished Santa gave me a shiny new video card.<br \/>\nWhen I saw the gift showing about a &#8216;red snake&#8217;, I wondered&#8230; &#8220;Dragon? :D&#8221;. Alas, it&#8217;s not any of those things. In fact, it&#8217;s another one of those prem-only tools.<br \/>\nNow I don&#8217;t wanna say any spoilers.. right now anyway. You&#8217;ll find out when Christmas Day gets here. So keep watching this blog entry.<\/p>\n<p>This is much different compared to Christmas &#8217;07 in WoW. Though there was alot more things you can do. In Wurm, you see the following(what I&#8217;ve seen so far)<br \/>\nSanta in NT.<br \/>\nA free buffet infront of him  that shoots both your Food\/Water to 100%<br \/>\nGrass tiles blanketed with snow, including ones with flowers. So pretty.<br \/>\nPine trees as Christmas Trees, with little toy carts, and candles, and a star on the top.<br \/>\nHalf Wreaths on houses.<br \/>\nChanges to the texture of most trees, to Winterize them.<\/p>\n<p>I expected more than this to be honest. But I guess it&#8217;s better than nothing. At least in WoW, you don&#8217;t get a snow covering. It&#8217;s like TSO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;St Wurmnickolas&#8221;? &#8220;Santa Wurm&#8221;? Whatever you call him, he has finally come to town!
