Popular Post gogoblender 3,039 Posted December 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2017 It's that time of year again everyone. Snow is falling (at least here ). The nights are darker with the sun setting earlier. There are lots of parties out there, however, with gift wrapping and feasts to be found. We look forward to the company of our families and the draw of a beautiful day. For this year, we've dug up a terrific background from one of the most magical years in Sacred, our game's, life. The game had just released that year, and, like Christmas magic... the most beautiful and FREE add-on came to life. The venerable Christmas Island with all its exploration, great story telling , epic Dragon and the joy of shiny new Christmas Sets for all the classes wrapped up as beautiful gifts under the tree after the battle. We were looking for backgrounds last night, found an older version of this skin, but as we were experimenting a last minute surprise-message popped through from Flix wth a superior Sacred Christmas background that was sharper and more beautiful. All this of course with Flix being the first to put up his new Christmas Avatar, his new famous iconic pumpkin with a Christmas tree carved out of it We're hoping to see some bright new avatars this year, for over the last decade we've had contests, skins and wild Christmas animations. And while this years Christmas attire is a skin (for now) we're hoping that one day we find an artist who's who'll be able to add as much love and art to something we think is deemed worthy enough for our supportive, caring comunity here in Sacred's homeland. Our love and best wishes! Here's to a last few wonderful weeks before our favorite holiday of the year Happy Christmas! gogo 1 1 Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Festive looking skin indeed! We've just put up our Christmas tree so it's definitely starting to feel like that time of the year. Looks like I'll have to go hunting a more festive avatar... Link to comment
Popular Post Schot 406 Posted December 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2017 Best quest ever! I think the Christmas quest will always be my fave quest of any game. A fitting background. Thanks for the last minute help Flix. 2 Link to comment

Thanks for the feedback DB, it's a beautiful skin, unique, crafted by Ascaron, and perfectly suited for DarkMatters' Sacred Christmas. And bravo on your tree up!! Ornaments from your old family tree or new stuff? Gluck with your new Christmas Avatar! gogo Link to comment

Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted December 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2017 Loving the Christmas look guys. Our tree just went up at my grandfather's. We had white lights and frilly white and pink bows for years (a "Victorian" tree) but this year we went back to the classic colored lights and shiny balls. 2 Link to comment

podgie_bear 184 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) "Sorry for the missing theme this year. Our forum software, IPB, went through major code changes and the theme designers out on the net are having a hard time keeping up. The designer we always buy the halloween theme from is going through life troubles which means she's practically awol. Normally we would have bought the Halloween theme months in advance but sadly it just wasn't possible. We love it as much as you do podgie! One of her co-designers did make their own Halloween theme. Me and gogo were juuuust about to buy it. And then I discovered all kinds of unfinished areas of the theme in their sample shop. So we had to pass on it. As for anywhere else. No one is making seasonal theme's for ipb 4.2 yet. Hopefully next Halloween they'll have our fave theme ready. Until then, at least we know the xmas theme is ready. " So when do we get our Christmas Theme on the forum? Please tell me that the current background is not all we get! I am hoping for at least some of what we used to have, cheerful Candy canes, wrapped presents, frosting and other Christmas decorations and Yuletide celebrations . Not just a rather cold and boring postcard style picture in the background with "Merry Christmas" at the bottom! Compared to our previous themes we seem to have reverted to something hardly worth calling a 'theme' or is IPB 4.2 less capable of hosting themes than what we were using previously?

It seems like the first time you've let Schot out of the dungeon we've seen Schot in ages and you're already trying to turn him into a Christmas tree decoration!! Link to comment

I think you've quoted all the info you need to answer your question Podgie. This version of the software they use for the board is new and there isn't anything fancy for them to use. Give it some time and I'm sure we'll see more elaborate themes available, but for now we'll have to make up for it with lots of Christmas cheer! So to all reading this, dust off your seasonal avatars, polish up your good will, and here's to a wonderful festive season for all with their family and friends. And eggnog, here's to lots of eggnog... 1 Link to comment
