2010-12-28: New Years Eve mystery. (Updates)

There are some strange events going on in the end of this year.
People are reporting that sometimes they are coming across a strange "Ball in box" while hunting, that is magically disappearing from your hands when you are trying to use it. As you all already noticed there is a suspicious Old Man Santa in the Arkijah Town that is giving you a neatly wrapped gift with a card attached to it saying "Santa Was Here". This Old man and disappearance of the Ball in box are linked together according to some eyewitnesses. Whenever you are talking to that strange Santa he whispers something and your ball in box transforms in to Santa Was Here gift and you become enchanted with magic powers that raises your HP and MP.
Hm.. what is this mysterious gift that can't be opened? Guess we will find this out on 1st of January.
