Atysmas is a series of events spanning throughout the month of December. This large event can be broken up into several mini-events, some that lasted throughout the month and some held at scheduled times.

Scenery Changes
Some changes were made to the scenery to give the world a more fitting look for Atysmas:
- All stables got a new model with a giant Atysmas tree on top.
- Yubos as well as Mektoub mounts were given an Atysmas hat and antlers.
- These Atysmas Yubos were renamed Yubohohos.
- One of the moons of Atys was changed to show a sled pulled by reindeer in front of it.
- Atysmas trees and glowy pollen appeared all over every city.
- Lantern posts, torches and signposts were wrapped in Atysmas colours.
- Candy Canes were changed into shiny Atysmas stars on sticks.
Also, an Atysmas village was erected in Knot of Dementia, just outside Zora.
The Great Atysmas Swap
The events were kicked off with the announcement of the Great Atysmap Swap:
“Soon the spirit of Atysmas will fill the hearts of homins with warmth and love of the holiday season on Atys. Like last year, the event team of Arispotle would like to enjoy this contemplative time of Atysmas with you. What you can expect from this year's festival will not yet be revealed completely. However, we are now calling all players who like to give and receive joy to participate in the Great Atysmas Swap.
How does the swap work? Anyone who would like to participate should send an in-game mail to Jaliun by Saturday, 11 December 24:00 GMT with G.A.S. in the subject line. The event team will draw lots to determine to whom you will give a present. On Sunday, 12 December you will receive an in-game mail in which you will learn the name of the homin who will receive your gift. But ssshhh, don't tell anyone who it is!
An event will be held in which the gifts are presented. In order to make it a more enchanting evening, we invite all homins to tell a little Atysmas tale, a mysterious legend, a funny poem, a chilling fairy tale or a romantic story.
We are looking forward to your participation and to this exciting evening of mystery gifting with all of Atys.
Holiday greetings!

Annual Magic Pole Atysmas Party
The first actual mini-event to be held was an Atysmas party at the Magic Pole outpost in Fleeting Garden.
“Shine your shoes and get out your best holiday attire!
For the first time in Atysmas history, homins are invited to the Annual Magic Pole Atysmas party, hosted by none other than Father Atysmas himself! Due to a special arrangement made between Mother Nature and Father Atysmas, homins will be allowed to mingle with citizens of the Magic Pole for this special holiday event. Don't miss your once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the Annual Magic Pole Atysmas party!

Holiday Scenario Contest
Creators of Ring scenarios were challenged to create a Holiday-themed scenario for Atysmas 2010.
Scrooged Snowmen
“Dear Homins,
Atysmas Decorators Unltd has worked diligently in the past to ensure Atysmas Decorations reach you in the cities and towns all over Atys. Unfortunately this year it seems that those meddling marauders, the Scrooges Stooges, have ransacked our shipments of snowmen and scattered the crates all over Atys!
Time is running out to get all the crates together so we can decorate the land with these wonderful snowmen before Atysmas is upon us! We simply cannot find them all on our own and we need your help to locate and assemble the parts!
For every Homin that manages to collect all of the necessary parts for a single snowman, we will personally construct that snowman in any location of that Homin's choosing; we'll even engrave their names on the snowmen in thanks for their efforts!
To keep track of those who will help us, please come register with me at the Atysmas Village before you start your search. Only your vigilant eye can find the lost crates!
Yours Truly,
- Zelonix Titheus
- Atysmas Decorators Unltd
- Head of Atysmas Decorating Affairs
