First of all
Merry Christmas!
Second of all, I just happened to be on Amazon this Christmas Day morning, buying a gift card to send to someone by email because, when I tried to do it earlier in the week, it all went horribly wrong.
Amazon Customer Service was excellent but even they couldn't fix my mistake so I had to put an "I.O.U. 1 (One.) Amazon Gift Card to be delivered on Christmas Day" note inside the card and, rather than having it go horribly wrong a second time through me messing up the delivery timer, as would almost invitably have happened, I chose to do it in real time instead.
Which was when I happened to notice an entirely unexpected animated Gift Card option. It was this:
I don't know why you would want to but if you feel like sending someone an animated New World-themed Amazon gift card, now you can! I mean, it's not a very good one but at least it shows Amazon Corporate is really behind the game now, right? Or that's one interpretation.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the good news to all New World fans on this Christmas Day. I guess there must be some, still. Somewhere.
Also, there would have been a New World Winter Convergence screenshot at the top of the post but updating the game made my PC cry and I had to unplug the external drive New World is on before it would even boot up again, so Nightingale it is.

Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day. I don't really understand what Boxing Day is... is it a day when you the relatives you argued with put on gloves and climb into the ring to duke it out? Or is it the day when you box up the presents you didn't like to get ready to return them? Or.... it's just a mystery to me.
ReplyDeleteBut enjoy it just the same!
The actual explanation for the name is weird as any of those. It's the day the tradesmen you'd dealt with during the year turned up at your door expecting their annual tip, which was known as a Christmas "box", although why it was called that is another question.
DeleteAt least that's what I was told when I was growing up. At that time it still existed in a vestigial sense with the binmen (Or dustmen as they were called then.) who notoriously would expect something in their Christmas Box if they weren't going to drop your rubbish all over the path at the first New Year collection. Allegedly. Never saw it actually happen.
Thank you for the explanation!
DeleteHappy Holidays to you and Mrs. Bhagpuss (and Beryl)!
