I like most of these updates. Wintersday is always a good time. The hat NPC is a very nice touch. No longer do I have to get as many people to an event as possible.

About the only thing I don't like is the spam thats starting to fill up the party search. It was only a matter of minutes from the time I updated and the time I saw "will cyber for 500g/minute" in the list.

Other than that, tumbs up for this update.
