 * Announcements: Greetings! We have a few pre-holiday announcements.
 * Holiday gifts: Holiday presents are a reward for veteran players. Holiday rewards will be given out to players at least 3 weeks old and not for newly created characters.
 * Exploration badges: There is no intent to give an Exploration Badge for every POI location. Many people seem to think each POI location should give out an Exploration Badge. This is not the case.
