Advent Calendar
Advent Calendar

The Advent Calendar was placed in the campground of all players on December 1, 2005. The Advent Calendar has a total 25 sections, one for every day in December until Crimbo. Every day, players are able to open one section, and receive an item.



There are X sections left on your advent calendar. Today's section hasn't been punched out yet.

  • Punch It:

An Adventer is You!

You acquire an item: eggnog

or

You acquire an item: candy cane

or

You acquire an item: gingerbread bugbear

or

You acquire an item: fruitcake


There are X sections left on your advent calendar. Today's section has already been punched out.

Notes

  • The days do not stack. In other words, if you don't open it the day it becomes available there won't be 2 next rollover. It is still impossible to tell if the calendar disappears on December 25th, or if it disappears when all 25 sections are punched.

References

  • The word "advent" is a reference to the period of the year known as Advent which includes the four Sundays before Christmas. An advent calendar is a traditional gift, often including small gifts or sayings behind each day's box.
  • The word "advent" is particularly apt here, as it is also the name of the executable file for a 1976 computer adventure game with a wry wit similar to that of KoL. "Advent" is the first 6 letters of "adventure," and the computer system for which the game was written only allowed 6-character filenames.
