I am a bit upset that there is no fanfare or weekend bonus for MLK. It is a recognized national holiday. Everquest celebrates the 4th of July but not Juneteenth and has never celebrated MLK Weekend. Seems a bit ignorant to me. Get with the times.
Everyday is a holiday somewhere. National idiot day actually has at least 3 different days throughout the year.
Kinda weird that the races of Norrath doesn't have their own holidays, rooted in in-game lore. One would think they would celebrate historical victories, by making it a holiday for that race. Trolls would have "Bloody Froglok Day" to celebrate retaking their homecity, f.eks... Just importing American holidays is unimaginative, imho.
Comparing MLK day to random holidays is not valid. Plus EQ has had exp weekends in the past for MLK day. Not sure why they stopped.
True about Norrathian lore, but clearly unrelated to actual game Dev. EQ has imported Xmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Valentines days. I don't recall if there's a bonus for Presidents Day.
