Blizzard go over all the holidays (both micro and macro), bonus events, and more. This month we have the ending of the Lunar Festival, more Darkmoon Faire as usual, Love is in the Air and the Hatching of the Hippogriffs micro holiday. Let's hope that one doesn't get cancelled like the Tavern Crawl!

Love Is in the Air this month and there’s much to see and do. In this February edition of This Month in WoW, we look forward to some of the great in-game events and the ongoing development of Patch 7.2: The Tomb of Sargeras.

Holidays and Events

  • Lunar Festival [January 21- February 4]
    Every year the druids of Moonglade hold a celebration of their city’s great triumph over an ancient evil. During the Lunar Festival, citizens of Azeroth have the opportunity to honor their elders by celebrating their sage wisdom, sharing in magnificent feasts–and of course– launching fireworks!
  • Darkmoon Faire [February 5- February 11]
    The Darkmoon Faire is open for business once more! Meet Silas Darkmoon and his troupe, play games that test mind and the nerve, and behold exotic sights from the four corners of Azeroth… and beyond!
  • Love Is in the Air [February 7 – February 21]
    Something is in the air in the major cities of Azeroth. Many guards and townsfolk spend their days exchanging gifts to other amorous citizens. But something's suspecious about this sudden outpouring of affection...

Micro-Holidays

  • Hatching of the Hippogryphs [February 23]
    This is the day that the Frayfeather Hippogryphs hatch. Head to Frayfeather Highlands in Feralas to witness the spectacle firsthand!

Bonus Events

The Bonus Events system consists of a rotating schedule of different activities that each grant a passive bonus to players and offer a once-per-event quest with a noteworthy reward for accomplishing a related goal. Check out the Adventure Guide in-game for a direct link to active Bonus Events, allowing you to easily accept any associated quests.

  • Pet Battle Bonus Event [February 7 – February 13]
    While this event is active, your pets will earn experience at triple the usual rate! Get out there and battle!
  • Timewalking Dungeon Event: Cataclysm [ February 14 – February 21]
    While this event is active, players level 86 or higher may access a special Timewalking Dungeon Finder queue, which scales players and their items down to revisit past dungeons from the Cataclysm expansion. While Timewalking, bosses with yield loot appropriate for a player’s regular level.
  • Arena Skirmish Bonus Event [February 21 – February 27]
    While this event is active, Arena Skirmishes will award Honor at an increased rate. Will you answer the call to battle?
  • World Quest Bonus Event [February 28 – March 6]
    While this event is active, completing Broken Isles World Quests awards bonus reputation with the appropriate faction.

      The new War Within Allied Races was added to the Alpha today and we already have a full look at not only all their customization options, but their dances as well, courtesy of MrGM! You can check out the Earthen's racial abilities here if you missed them earlier. 
      Let's start with the more dynamic feature, with both male and female dances:
      And then there's big amount of customization options, as well as a size comparison with regular dwarves:

      So, are we liking the new Allied Race overall? More than actual dwarves?

      Here's a really cool possibility for the War Within, as a very subtle and mildly mysterious comment from Executive Producer and Vice President for WoW, Holly Longdale, may be hinting at our Warband characters getting a lot more involved in our travels! 
      First spotted by UlthansWrath, Longdale came up to Taliesin & Evitel at the recent London War Within Alpha press event and had a short chat about the Warband screen, when she casually said "wouldn't it be cool if those were the characters you took as your followers in your Follower Dungeons?" After the obvious confirmation from Taliesin and Evitel that, yes, yes it would be cool, she just said "hm" and that was the end of the conversation.
      Obviously this isn't any sort of official confirmation, but considering this is a really awesome idea, it seems likely Blizzard are at the very least discussing it, if not already working on it.

      The Warband system is already great, and this would add a lot to it for players that choose to go solo into dungeons, as it would give them even more motivation to get some great characters in their Warband - even if it was just a cosmetic option.
      So, what do you think, will we be seeing this feature when the War Within launches?
