You could just skip the event?

I personally don't celebrate Halloween at all, but it is without a doubt the best holiday event in Guild Wars, you really don't want to miss it.

Hehe, well...I'm just gonna take it one weekend at a time and look forward to Halloween. It'll be my first one in GW.

And also, isn't Halloween an Anglo Saxon tradition? Therefore, it is in fact the Americans who are copying someone. And the Canadians are indeed copying it too...From the Anglo Saxons...Not America.

Australia doesn't really take part in the celebration, sure a few families might here and there but we're not all "WOOOOO! HALLOWEEN! Let's knock on random rapists doors and get mugged for doing so!!! WOOO!"

Back on topic....Yeah, it'll also be my first Wintersday too. Also looking forward to that, and heres to the Snowman's revenge! *Raises his spiked eggnog*

I just want the booze.

Seriously though: I'm hoping the holidays are in EotN, with decorations up there, especially Wintersday. It just fits, and much of the community is playing there now.

It's.......Raaaaaaandom Maaaaaan.

Thanksgiving is a North American holiday/tradition, not Anglo-Saxon. Historically, Canada had the first Thanksgiving, but the US declared it a national holiday first. But who really cares?

Many modern holidays are based on far older traditions. Thanksgiving, as noted above, is an exception.

Holidays arn't stolen, If there is a big enough comunity of other cultures in an area they may celebrate a certain holiday.

i.e. the irish holiday of St. Patricks day is now celebrated in America and where ever there is a large amount of irish, so kidna adopted into the culture of the country.

ON TOPIC: yeah, may aswell save em if you have the room can't hurt

I wasn't talking about the Guild wars Event... I mean the actual day, Australia doesn't have a huge Amerkan ethnic group so why are a minority few locals making a deal out of it....

As for the game, its awesome. Just ignore that there is any such thing as the real event.

I had the pleasure of growing up right next to Salem, MA. If you've never Halloweened there, you've never experienced Halloween. People would compete to create the best haunted houses, homes everywhere decorated with the sounds of Halloween playing... man, I miss that.

I've got 30 eggs for persistant Trick Or Treaters.

More Outrage · Oct 20, 2007, 01:40 AM // 01:40

I just got a few of everything but that`s because I wasn`t sure what the collectors would have, now you mention it I`ll keep hold of it all for now.

As for holidays I was thinking of joining every religion and non-religious sect that had holidays and seeing if I could maybe take a year or two of work due to holiday commitments, never know it might work for a while at least. *shrug*

GW should at least have a harvest festival considering the number of farmers and give them all a day off, they need it!
