does Jagex do anything special for thanksgiving, because I've only been playing since february and missed most of the drops....and i haven't heard anything about thanksgiving...If you know the post here...

No, because not many countries celebrate Thanksgiving, as far as I know. Well, we don't here anyway.

They have never had any thanksgiving celebrations on Runescape anyway, so I wouldn't count on anything new.

Well I believe Halloween is also American. And not official (yet) in many other countries.

But Thanksgiving will not be a holiday drop in my opinion.

Halloween is supposed to be American, but people in australia still celebrate it. Could only be because of the lollies...

Australias don't celebrate thanksgiving either...

i think they only celebrate, universally known holidays, halloween is not just american, britains celebrate it too, aswell as alot of other countries i would imagine.

Haloween was originally a Pagan festival, traditionally known as All Hallows Eve. Those pesky Americans took it and made it commercial, and that is what we all celebrate today.

On-topic - Thanksgiving is purely an American festival, and seen as Jagex are a British company, I doubt it would be implemented into the game.

thanksgiving is when the pilgrims (the people that came to america and colinated the eastern states, i.e. Virginia, Deleware, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, etc) and they invited the indians (native americans) to dinner with them almost everyday in november and i think the last day was the thursday in November, that's why thanksgiving is the 4th thursday in every month, but different dates......and that's what thanksgiving is.

And what's so great about it is the family getogether and the big feasts!

please correct me if i said anything wrong :oops:

plain and simple..no. thanksgiving is only really celebrated in the states and well canada too but at a different time. its not a massive holiday either so my opinion is no they wont do anything for it

There is thanksgiving in Canada, but it's in October instead of November. I think it's because of the 'harvest' which is just before winter. Canada is colder (waaaaaaay colder) so winter starts earlier. Therefore thanksgiving is earlier.

I get to miss school for it

yeah, we dont celebrate thanksgiving here but we celebrate "Guido(guy) Fawkes Night"(if you want to the whole story pm me) at around the same time

Don't think they will drop anything since like others have said its only celebrated in the States and not around the world like Halloween or Chirstmas holidays depends on your religion.
