And the events were something that didn't require level cap, at least.

Well, not normally anyway." I know, but i can dream. ;) It's also my biggest gripe about games that rely on servers to be playable. At least in Diablo 2 you had the option to play offline. /shrug “Its not like you can run a MMO server on some desktop. Well, not normally anyway.”

Some even run Oracle for the DB. Its not like you can run a MMO server on some desktop. Well, not normally anyway. Because a MMO “server” is usually a server cluster of a whole bunch of servers.

It also makes me think of what is going to happen to games i play now that might end up with servers going away. Why at closure don't they make it so you can at least mess around with it on your own computer or your own servers? Grr.. I like how City of Heroes does special events, it doesn't matter what level you are as things happen in each zone pretty much, while in WoW you need to be at cap to get the real fun.

The headless horseman quests are new this year. Incidentally, there's a recurring event/quest at the starter cities involving him (or his shade) also, suitable for low level players.

I know I haven't been doing much besides Horseman myself. My priest ran that event non stop for hours yesterday, trying to get everyone their gear. Down to needing 2 healing rings and 1 helm for the guild, plus the pumpkin pet for me (yet to see it drop at all). Really a fun event.
