I know this isn't the news hub of the CO world but it does seem worth at least mentioning the anniversary before it ends.
The costume pieces are decent, I can see myself on a bike finally without having to pay for it (vehicles aren't my thing yet) which is better than what I could do last week. Can't remember what the other freebies are.
Triple XP boosts and Triple Resource boosts and PRESENTS make this about the best time of year to do Lairs.
Ohhhh and one of the best things? They didn't do a major nerf right before the celebration like they did on the 4th anniversary, which was my first, even though they had a bone crunching one lined up. Progress!
