Halloween 2007

The Halloween 2007 event will run from Thursday, October 25 until Wednesday, October 31, 2007. It will include the return of Halloween collectors, the redecoration of Lion's Arch and Kamadan, and perhaps more importantly, the return of Mad King Thorn who once again will terrorize the populace with 'terrible' jokes while at the same time reward them with special holiday treats. This event will be similar to the past events of Halloween 2005 and Halloween 2006. This year a new item, the Trick-or-Treat Bag, and a new mini-game, the Costume Brawl, have been added to the celebration.

This is from the Official Event Page:


 * When sunlight wanes to shadow
 * And mists fill nights once clear
 * 'Tis time to think of monarchs
 * Who visit once a year.


 * Hail, Thorn, the king demented,
 * Whose laughter fills the air
 * Where cunning gifts are given
 * With wit and deadly flair!


 * And as the season passes
 * Remember what you've seen
 * In Lion's Arch and Kamadan
 * On this good Halloween.
