The CCP Office will be closed for general business on Thursday, 20 May for the celebration of Uppstigningardagur, or Ascension Day. However, there will be a crew of dedicated GMs and Devs working through the holiday in case there are any issues.

Uppstigningardagur means "Soon" in icelandic. An ancient god in the icelandic mithology....

Ascension Day? Wasn't that the point of the end of Season Three of Buffy? That the Mayor was going to 'Ascend'? Is someone in Iceland going to turn into a giant demon snake?

This is a holiday in several countries not just Iceland, my only complaint is that we do not get it in the UK so I could play more EVE

Oh good grief people, I can't believe an atheist has to tell you this 
 Uppstigningardagur, or Ascension Day, is the day Jesus Christ ascended back into heaven after being crucified and resurrected.
Anyway, we have this holiday in Denmark too, so have a good one CCP!

Yeah I like it even more because I get a holiday 
But yes it basicly means acension day, the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead...
But if you like that word here is another long one :
Valaheiarvegavinnusk·rsvaralyklakippa....try prouncing that!
Wich means....a spare key chain to a certain work shed, actually on a hill near my town...Akureyri in Eyjafj÷rur.
There ya go plenty of Icelandic names and words to play with
Man all that makes me think about a poor foreign exchange student that was tought what he thought was a polite icelandic greeting...it wasn't...Icelanders can be cruel sometimes
"No, I'm not alt.....even if I have been in Pator Tech School for 2 years..." |

So would a rough danish translation be "Opstigningsdag"?
Nevertheless happy holiday

Well here in Norway Ascension Day is called Kristi Himmelfarts dag but it is more commonly known as Himmelspretten which translates more or less as The Heavenly Bounce.
