I would buy green beer from the pub.

Seems like a dumb holiday to celebrate on iClassic. Would like to see holidays scaled back in general so staff have time to work on other meaningful things.

Wasn't this what they were already doing?

Dunno, but really the only holidays I think are worth investing effort in are New Year's, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. Shame that most of those are Christian-based holidays (I'm not religious at all), but those are probably the holidays with the most "flavor" or substance to do things with. The Talk Like a Pirate Day thing is unique so it's cool, but I really wouldn't mind seeing stuff like St. Patty's Day or Chinese New Year go if it means that work gets put into the game elsewhere.

Five holiday stores and a Revolution/Nexus once per season seems like plenty enough, just my opinion though. I guess there's really nothing else for the basic, non-developer GFX team to be working on though.

Taking all of that extra stuff away may not be such a great idea though. I hear you when you say you want the work to be put in elsewhere but they could take player submissions for the holiday shop (think of what they do for the Christmas gifts). A lot of times players look forward to these holidays and will get bored when something doesn't show up.  

-Green brew
-Ginger beard accessory
-hat that is like the default rose hat but it is like a shamrock
-Snake mount
-Re-coloured flowers that count as "Clover"

I absolutely agree. Additionally, knowing when the shops would open and how long they would be open for would allow us to save appropriately in advance!
