There is already a thread with discussions, questions, thoughts, speculations, etc on the Winter Event.
Probably better than starting a new thread about the same thing.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

1) Just about every Winter Event of this game has started on or around December 15th.
2) There's going to be big competition from another new big MMO starting on December 20th.
You'd think that our Devs would have at least -announced- this year's event by now just to try to get everyone excited and prepared for it. *shrugs*

I was even courteous enough to give a link.
Why have the discussion spread over two different threads when you can consolidate the information into one thread? Seems to be more economical for those trying to find information or those answering questions.
But then, I guess I just prefer using a bit of common sense. From meeting DJ Shecky I'd say he's pretty much into using common sense as well. I'd also say he's aware of the fact that my post was done without malice, merely an informational post to point him to the existing discussion.
That link can also serve to point anyone else looking for information to the other thread as well.

And, I'm not sure that PQ gets less traffic than CL. Many people I know avoid CL like the plaque. I know I used to only venture here when following links from the Dev Digest or Community Digest. I do know that several people post things in PQ because they stop when scrolling through the list of the forum sections before they get past that point.

Sure it might make more sense if multiple threads like this never happened to keep all the related posts in one place. But it's hardly like the world is going to come to an end to see it happen again like this. *shrugs*

Thanks to everyone that helped make me a welcomed part of the community, and for giving me over 3 years of some of the best gaming I've been able to take part in. May the next game bring many friendships and maybe reconnect to some old CoH friends.

It's just a part of my personality to try to be helpful and point people to existing discussions to try to consolidate things.

The Winter Event will most assuredly begin on the date I mentioned in that other thread.

I would start putting your winter coats on soon.
Then my guess is this week. And also because next week would probably be too late.

As it is, we got a response here and the other thread hasn't Thanks Beastyle.
I"m hoping that it is tomorrow, I'm going to be out of the country without access to CoH while the majority of the event is going on, so to get a few days would be nice.
