Might I ask where you stood?

Mad King appears in the green circle next to the cauldron.

Why do people play the game if they already have a pumpkin helm? Do they get a second one? Is the second one un-customized?

Nope it's customised.. I sat through 3 rounds coz I found it so funny to see players die en masse..

I managed to get 2 Pumpkin Crowns in 1 go so to say. First in an Italian (was a random join) dis and when it ended there I went to an English dis and to my surprise King was still there.

i need a /laugh bot so i can get free items by laughing at his jokes. =/

RobotMULE · Nov 01, 2005, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Does the pumpkin head have any armor bonus or abilities? Or its just for looks?

Edit: nvm found the answer.. At least you can put a rune on it though.

One and Two · Nov 01, 2005, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Looks. You can add runes and infuse it though.

I got two now.

They are both identical if you have more than one. No difference between them at all.

You might be able to sell your multiple ones to some freak who wants it (even though he can't wear it) but other than that there's no point in having more than one on the same character.

First time I was AFK, second time I was not. But I almost did just as good getting prizes while I was AFK because when I was not AFK, lag was causing me to not be able to do the emotes on time. Very annoying that I had the emotes all ready to go but I got killed and missed prizes due to lag.

Then next time Mad King comes, Prison Break is gonna be on so I'm just gonna go AFK again to collect more prizes as I watch that. Might as well, it's not like there is any downside to just AFKing there.

Well the Euro servers just had its Midnight Mad King showing, so was that his last?

Are we getting anything else tonight? Fireworks or anything?

Thanks for it all!!!!

How about they give us a million other items to fill our limited storage places with :P

LifeInfusion · Nov 01, 2005, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Treats and pumpkin crowns mmmm
That's all
Anyway I hope you guys had a Happy Halloween. I know I did (on Guild Wars, while doing homework lol)

Valerius · Nov 01, 2005, 03:34 AM // 03:34

I had to go to work and I left my character AFK and had made room for the pumpkin helmet, and decided to sell two crap items I had so I had 3 spaces.

I come back to 3 of the regular items

I ran out of room for the helmet!

When the king showed back up, I was the first one he picked (in my district) for rock, paper, scissors!

If that was it I'll be a little annoyed, as living in Sydney the mad king's antics occurred between 7am and 7pm on 1st November - all through my working day! I know I could have changed servers but I dont really want to use up all my switches on special events. Not to take anything at all from the devs on this one, I think the whole halloween special was a fantastic achievement and I was pretty amazed at the lengths they went to on aesthetics, especially as GW is a subscription free game.

However, maybe next time they can go for more than 12 hours so us antipodeans can have a crack too.

If this was addressed elsewhere I apologize. However, my search turned up a misinforming remark. Someone made a comment to the effect of "too bad you can't use the Mad guards in party." You can. I took them out for a bit of fun. Turns out they are minion masters.

Nice screeny for kicks.

Mad King rules, I have numerous halloween treats, and 4 pumpkin crowns, that is 1 on 1 char and 3 on the other char... hmm... maybe that was caused by GW running overnight? :P
