Users of the official Diablo 3 forums have been asking if we would see a Christmas Event similar to how World of Warcraft has events for major holidays, Vaneras had this to say:

There are no plans to add holiday-themed events to the game, at least not at this point in time.Personally I feel holiday events don't belong in Diablo, but it would be cool to see something like a bonus exp weekend like other games do.... Now that I think about a a bonus MF/GF weekend could be very cool.

Every year the community devises some tantalizing and delectable delicacies to tempt the taste buds, or procures pen and paper to produce truly imaginative and inspiring holiday greetings. This year, we're asking for submissions for our 2012 Dessert and Holiday Art Program from anyone who's ever been infused with inspiration to create a culinary comestible or artistic abstraction based on the Diablo, StarCraft, or World of Warcraft franchises. We'll be collecting your submissions and showcasing some of your best work on a gallery that will be featured on the official Blizzard Facebook page until January 4, 2013.
Share your passion, talent, and holiday wishes by submitting here.
@Douvinsky, @berzerkerxx and @maleykith are this weeks winners.
Another week and another 3 prizes of 5 million gold each to be given away. Since it's a small prize again this week we will be doing questions instead of a large drawing.
Rules: You can only win one prize, so do not answer all 3 questions. The first three people to give correct answers (to my liking) will be the winners. After that I will update the post with the winners names.
Leave your answer in the comments of this post
- This weeks questions (you only need to answer one to win)
- Where is Xah'Rith the Keywarden found? (Not only which Act, but what zone in the act)
- What are the 5 items required to craft the Staff of Herding? (Not counting the plan)
- What bow shoots chickens out of it?

Thank you for your patience.

Your journey through Diablo III will lead you across a variety of environments. From corpse-laden fields, to festering underground passages, to windswept deserts and bustling metropolises, there are multiple different landscapes your hero must brave in order to thwart the advances of the Burning Hells. Each environment has its own charm, and (of course) tells its own story.
Here are just a few examples:
But what we want to know is, out of all these locations, which one is your favorite? Not taking gameplay into consideration and looking simply at the aethestics, what zone or area do you like the most? And more importantly...why?
Since there are so many environments to choose from across the entire game, we're going to break this question down into four polls: one for each Act. This week, we focus on Act II.
