    Also i never said it was a holiday. Of course its not a holiday its an entire month. I never said celebrate the holiday. I never said put items on server for black history month. I want era to at least just recognize it and say something over broadcast message so people know era is in touch with black culture.
    cinco de mayo is suppose to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Puebla
    Not the army...

    Theres also a lot cultural holidays
    It would take to much time
    To add all of them


    Unless you want to make moon cakes and a shop with different items every full moon

    I wish we wouldn't celebrate Cinco De Mayo to be honest, or any other national holiday

    There are a lot of important holidays that are important to different people- I know we look bias towards certain holidays and this is mostly because staff who live in certain countries in positions to determine what holidays we choose, celebrate these holidays. I know we'll never wholly solve this problem though due to the way graal works. Staff from a certain country will be promoted and they'll work independently on their national holiday, there's never really a way around this because people will work on what they want to if they have nothing else to do

    We're trying to standardise the holidays we celebrate and most likely we'll only celebrate the holidays that most of the western/english speaking world celebrates like christmas, easter, halloween (not everywhere celebrates this i know), valentines day ect. But we're trying to keep it in line with not really celebrating* 'national' holidays or events.

    Don't take it as a feeling that we don't care about your holiday or we think that say, CDM or australia day is more important than black history month because that's not true- they get celebrated in game mostly due to the fact that they are not "official" holidays the whole team works on, only 1 or 2 staff might work on them.

    That would be a lot better take away the other holidays that are race, religion, or cultural based. Since you cant celebrate all of them dont do any. But its not the celebrating part just the mentioning not asking for a big parade on era like cny but something as small as broadcast message. I understand why they cant do it though i was just throwing out the suggestion mainly.

    I'm sure we can do broadcasts and like a free EC or something- but like not having the shops and quests and all of the big development
