In my family's tradition we open gifts on the 24th

Yet when I try to follow this tradition in-game, I am cursed for it.

[Scatha]

We're sorry about that! You can think of it like the present from the relative you don't manage to see until later.

We did actually talk about this issue at some point. Including trying to consult your computer's time zone and language settings to work out if you're in a country where that tradition is usual. Ultimately it's hard to get right, and it seems there is enough of a preponderance of people who open presents on Christmas day that it's best to keep the current simple rule.

Enjoy the presents tomorrow.

Ah, but see, we're better off, since we have a whole day to play with presents.

I was carrying around my present to open at midnight today, but it was stolen by an orc thief. I like to think he opened it, it was an axe of gondolin, and it cursed him forever.

[BlueFish]

I've opened three presents so far just to see what they're like, and one of them was Ringil. Not sure how unlikely that was, but it's the first time I've ever seen Ringil.

So probably it's bad etiquette to upload Christmas characters to the ladder once Christmas has come, right?

[BlueFish]

Last I checked, the #1 character on the ladder started with Ringil as an xmas present.
