City of Heroes | 12/2/2006 10:05am EST | By Darrk Waver

Winter is blowing in across the bay to Paragon City™, and settling on the Rogue Isles™ like an icy blanket. Snow seekers are making their way to the ski slopes to find fresh new powder! New presents and threats await both heroes and villains this holiday season!

Winter is blowing in across the bay to Paragon City™, and settling on the Rogue Isles™ like an icy blanket. Snow seekers are making their way to the ski slopes to find fresh new powder! New presents and threats await both heroes and villains this holiday season!

Visit the Training Room Test Server and see our latest version of the game, which includes the Winter Event. The event will be available for testing the first weekend in December, so be sure to log in and check it out!

Here are the things to look for in testing the event:

Log in:
When you first log in you will receive two temporary powers as well as have a holiday costume piece unlocked. The temporary powers are as follows:
• The Holiday Spirit Temporary Power: This power will grant you 24 hours of debt protection. It is a one use power that, once turned on, will keep you from getting debt for the next 24 hours of real time passed.
• The Holiday Cheer Power: This power has one use only, so choose your target wisely! Target another player who you want to give a Mystery Gift to! They can then use their Mystery Gift temporary power to get a bonus! They will likely receive 250 influence or infamy (or prestige if they are in Supergroup mode) or they might receive 1 of a variety of bonus gifts! You can obtain more Mystery Gifts through Phase 2 of the Winter Event (see below).

Ski Chalet:
The mountains have fresh snow and winter fun for all! Make your way to Pocket D and through the shadow shard to enjoy this piece of winter wonderland!

Father Time’s Mission:
You can find Father Time enjoying the snow and fresh mountain air in the Ski Chalet. However, issues weigh heavy on Father Time and he is looking for assistance from both Heroes and Villains. In fact, Heroes and Villains may band together to tackle this task

Phase 2:
Starting later in the December’s 1st weekend, we will turn on the second phase of the event. This will add presents that spawn randomly across areas of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. Click on the presents for fun!

We won't spoil all the things you can obtain or experience from the presents, but we do want to mention that one thing you can get is another of the 1 use Mystery Gift temporary powers you obtain when you first log in.
