Looking forward to seeing you there!
Iā€™ve updated the opening post with approximate times for the different activities. Since we have many of them on both days, the opening speech will be held at 19:45 on both days so that the activities can start promptly around 20:00.

Iā€™m fairly new to this neutral RP event thing, so my question is how does it work? Do we finally have cross-faction communication and emotes? Just wondering if I should join with my Alliance character or Horde one.

Other than that, this sounds very interesting and I will defo make a visit

Hi! There is an item called Elixir of Tongues that allows players to understand the Common and Orcish of the opposite faction in /s, /y and /e. https://www.wowhead.com/item=2460/elixir-of-tongues

Iā€™ll make a note of it at the bottom of the opening post as well so thank you for reminding that not everyone might be familiar with the item.

While the elixir does not allow you to see the TRP of players from the opposite faction, it goes a long way to help crossfaction interactions. For an activity like Moonball there will be a crossfaction raid for OOC communication.

For this, I recommend installing CrossRP, it allows you to see the TRP profiles of players from the alliance and vice versa. Doesnt require any setup beside installing it via your favourite mod manager.

This is true and a good reminder, thank you! Will add mention of it to the bottom of the opening post too alongside recommending the Listener AddOn.

Might peak on in for a few of these days. I was hoping for a story night, perhaps thatā€™s something Iā€™d be able to help you host if necessary.

Welcome to visit! Iā€™m afraid thereā€™s no time for a story gathering activity with the current scheduled festive activities already lasting late into the night. Perhaps youā€™d like to organize a story event of your own on Sunday or the following week?

Iā€™ll be hosting another of my own Story Night events on next weekā€™s Friday if youā€™re interested in such gatherings, and the next one after that might happen closer to the Lunar Festival dates anyway that would suit focusing stories on heroes of the past.

I think I just might do that. I enjoy a good story night, and with the influx of neutral rp this event will bring, itā€™d be a good idea to have a story night dedicated to stories from both factions. February is so far in the future that I donā€™t think thereā€™s any plans that will stop me.

Sounds good! If you make a forum thread or Argent Archives page for it, Iā€™ll be happy to link to it from this event to help raise awareness about it.

Wonderful work! Looks like itā€™s going to be a great time! :sparkling_heart:

Another year approaches and so does another Lunar Festival! Iā€™m very honoured to have been asked to join as an artist and canā€™t wait to draw for one of the Friday Raffle winners! :art:

The Lunar Festival holds a special place in my heart being the first community event that I ever went to back in 2022 and having been given the chance to host an event back in 2023. Iā€™m ever grateful that Acrona continues the great tradition this coming year :purple_heart: :crescent_moon:

Thank you for Elizaberta for joining in! Iā€™m thrilled to have so many skilled artists, like yourself, contributing to this event.


Iā€™ve updated the catering section of the event to welcome neutral pandaren characters who might be interested in taking on this role in the central building. Given that the Lunar Festival, and the many event rewards, draw so much inspiration from the Chinese New Year and the Chinese aesthetic, Iā€™d love to see pandaren included.

Menu example

Food
Festival Dumplings
Spicy Vegetable Chips
Rice Cakes
Red Bean Buns
Kabob
Kimchi
Wok

Drinks
Moonglow
Cenarion Spirits
Pandaren brews
Ginger wine
Moonberry juice
Starfire espresso
Teas

For those visually inclined, Iā€™ll also host a Lunar Festival themed art prompt on social media platforms. Itā€™s an opportunity to showcase outfits and scenes inspired by the festival! In the past years people have joined with so many inspiring designs and moments that I canā€™t wait to see what they might come up with this time. Will share more information on it closer to January.

If youā€™re a writing enthusiast, youā€™re welcome to link your related pieces to the event page on the Argent Archives.
