AgentEmu Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Back in 2005, the Holiday event had Christmas themed Longbow and Arachnos contacts giving out missions called Operation Holiday Cheer and Operation Scrooge. And your hero had to go to Mercy Island and save Christmas and take back Christmas presents. And your villain had to steal presents. It was just a short one-mission event with 4 glowies. Why has this never come back? I genuinely miss it, even if it was just a small little thing. Does it still exist in the old coding somewhere? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I think the last question is the big one for this - does it still exist *to* bring back. I wouldn't argue with seeing it. Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec. I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages.

The server code that was eventually released to the wild was an incomplete copy of the code as it existed at that time. (It didn't include the beta copy tool for example.) Even if the code still existed, there's no guarantee it was included in the stolen code. Unofficial Homecoming Wiki - Paragon Wiki updated for Homecoming! Your contributions are welcome!

Shadowsleuth Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Then the best we could hope for would be to try to recreate the missions and the maps based on info from the wiki & what we remember about the mission. https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Winter_Event_2005#Operation_Holiday_Cheer_and_Operation_Scrooge Hero Mission contacts: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Agent_Wallace https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Agent_Davis https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Agent_McClane The Hero mission used a custom version snow covered map of the helipad in mercy (Near where "The Next Big Thing Badge" is. (Small Map) Once you defeated the enemies outside, you then clicked on a door that took you into an Arachnos indoor map where you had to find & recover the presents. Villain Mission contacts: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Operative_Karl https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Operative_Franco https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Operative_Gruber The Villain mission used a custom version snow covered map of Atlas Park, I remember running around under the globe & by where Ms. Liberty stands, defeating enemies. You went inside City Hall afterwards to steal the presents.
