"This is an excellent opportunity for players to

As a special holiday treat, Darkeden is hosting
an in-game Christmas event, starting December 18th, 2007, and ending on January
8th, 2008. During this event, players will have the opportunity to gather puzzle
pieces by hunting monsters, which, when assembled, will reward players with a
Christmas tree or a Snowman. These festive items can be inscribed with
customized messages and placed in the game world. Monsters will also deliver
firecrackers as in-game items, which can be set off in the game world to produce
colorful holiday cheer.

About Darkeden

role-playing game, inviting players into a bleak near-future environment and a
brutal conflict between two distinct races-vampires and slayers. Featuring
hand-rendered graphics and an isometric 2D view, Darkeden is easy for novices to
learn, yet features a broad depth of features and character-building options for
hardcore players. Darkeden contains hundreds of potential skills and two
distinct systems of character advancement, and is available to download and play
free of charge.
