Gong Online Holiday Patch

The holidays are coming to Gong!

It’s the time for changes and the time for giving. We here at Sleepy Giant are excited to announce our upcoming new holiday patch. We’ve been dropping some hints here and there, but we just can’t hold back the secret any longer.

On December 22, 2009 a big batch of new items will be added to the already vast amount of accessories, clothing, and more available in game. The coming star of this patch is a mystery full set of clothes. We know how anxious you are to see what Santa’s brought, so we’ll be giving a sneak peek before the day of the patch. Just check in on the forums this weekend and AmazingK will be posting a leaked image of the mysterious new set!

We know that Gong players come from all over the world, that’s why we’re proud to announce that BoaCompra is now officially open for business! Just check them out at http://www2.boacompra.com/gongonline/ for several VIP exclusives. “BoaCompra.com Your game starts here!” says Gong GM Helldeath.

But wait, that’s not all we’ve got for the holidays.
