Yep, it's a tad early, but January is shambling on, and we like to test at least a week or so before. Uwk who hopes to actually get the new recipe books for everyone this time (do NOT ask about Tinkerfest last year)... X-P
I posted before that was posted. It was just interesting to me because it was just there all of a sudden. Guess I have never been on when an event went live. It also seemed a lot earlier than I expected it to start.
Dates can vary, though usually we're given anywhere from a week to two weeks lead time to make sure everything does get checked, especially new instances. Uwk who was kind of surprised by Frostfell last November, and often by other holidays (take heart, Amer, you're not alone)... ;->
