Well Halloween is a week from tomorrow (Wednesday). Didn't the celebration last year last like 5 days? Maybe they plan on doing it Friday through Wednesday?

My gut instinct tells me it'll start this weekend and last thru Halloween. My gut's been wrong many, many times though.

They usually put the weekend event news up on a Tuesday don't they? If it starts this weekend we should see something soon.

Event Summary FOR 2006

October 23rd
Event begins: Towns are decorated, and collectors appear in towns of Tyria and Elona.


October 31st
Mad King Thorn's Arrival: Beginning at Noon (PST for American players, GMT for European) and every three hours afterwards, the Mad King appears in Lion's Arch and Kamadan for the finale of Halloween. After appearing in town, the Mad King delivers a introductory monologue which was then followed by several interactive games - Rock, Paper, Scissors and Simon Says- which if won or played correctly rewarded players with a randon Halloween item. Failure to play, or loosing at Rock, Paper, Scissors resulted in the temporary death of players who were eventually revived by the Mad King to continue playing. The Mad King then proceeds to tell jokes to the players who are expected to laugh at them. At the end of the Mad King's appearance players are given an event hat.


November 2nd
Event ends: Towns have their decorations removed, collectors leave towns.

Gaile Gray Talk Sunday October 21, 2007
Summary

* Results of Halloween contest before or on Halloween
* Maybe more prices because of a great many of good contributions
* She does not know if a change for weapons is coming for the Hall of Monuments
* They have got many good ideas for the Hall of Monuments, but unsure if this will be implemented
* Main focus is now the development of Guild Wars 2, and they don't want to delay this game because of feature development for Guild Wars 1.
* Mad King is coming soon!
* She hopes to get a Mad King minipet
* Halloween website on tuesday
* Many old things to come for this event, with some innovations
* A Big Thing™ is coming - and this won't be new hats nor minipets
So i guess we will hear something today, the day isnt over yet

We should be seeing something for the event relatively soon. I thought it had mentioned previously although I don't recall where or when. My memory kind of bites like that, but I'm sure they plan on doing <i>something</i>.

you have to remember that the US is what, 6/7 hours behind Europe so they'll all still be in bed at the moment. Give it a few more hours

I'm hoping the Halloween event is why we don't get a weekend event. I'm still waiting for double SS/LB points, and Halloween is the only good reason that they aren't giving it to us. I really hope its not going to be a clone of last year, though. On a side note, the 23rd just started only six and a half hours ago prior to my post.
