Tinkerfest (EQ2 Live Event)
Tinkerfest is the great annual gnomish festival of tinkering and all things tinkered. It's that time in the year when gnomes spend time with family, friends and clockworks, exchange gifts and celebrate the gnomish life. Battleclock matches and fireworks displays are just the start of the exciting events going on in the Gnomeland Security Headquarters.
Speaking Gnomish is necessary for this holiday!
