Excelsior

Hello excelsior! love the shard and all that, wonderful to find a shard with nice veterans and an awesome playerbase and playstyle, loving the small time i've spent here already but i do have a few question if anyone can spare the time to answer them..

First question is, do you guys celebrate holidays in anyway? I love christmas time coming round and having christmassy quests to do and having a visit from santa and i was wondering if you did anything for it, same with valentines day and july 4th (even though i'm not from America its always fun to learn while you kill specially named NPC's) or any other special occasions such as excelsiors anniversary every year

Second question, i was looking around for a bit but i couldn't find a guide to meleeing on the shard and wondered if anyone knew of such a thing or if it had even been done! There are certain tricks to it on every shard such as maxxing your dex to bandage insanely fast or using a certain set of spells (i.e. Enemy of One, Consecrate Weapon, Blood Oath etc.)
Thanks for reading guys and thanks in advance for anyone who answers

Well as for Events yes the admin and gm's do lots not just on holidays. Its kinda cool when they do them stay tuned for the different ones.
As for Melee stuff. I just started ive been the tamer/caster for a long time. But yes Maxing dex out is what im working on. That and healing wow im behind on that skill....lol
I use Enemy of one and Consecrate Weapon Constantly. That and Devine Fury (spelling wrong i bet) As for a weapon i currentlly use a bow. But that will change someday I can imagine.

Sounds absolutely awesome Angel form is a good bonus too i'm guessing, glad to hear about the spontaneous events too sounds like you're a dedicated bunch hehehe oh and can anyone point out a donation explanation post? i haven't managed to find one maybe i'm just really bad at this forum searching dealy...
