Wintersday Twitter Giveaway
To celebrate the new year and make the Wintersday magic last a little bit longer, we will be organizing a Guild Wars 2 giveaway on Twitter from January 5 through January 9, 2015. We will be giving away one Griffon Mail Carrier every day to one of you. Remember the #GW2 and #Wintersday hashtags, you will need them!
What-is-a-hash-tag?
GW2. Wintersday.
Error: Incorrect-format. I-will-try-again.
To get a chance to be one of our lucky winners, you will need to: print, cut, and use Zav’s Wintersday stencils or create your own Guild Wars 2 stencils to decorate your windows. Tweet a picture of your window decoration to @GuildWars2 between January 5 and January 9 using the two hashtags mentioned before. We will randomly select one winner per day during that period.
