Halloween 2009

Overview
The Halloween 2009 event runs from Friday, October 23th through Monday, November 2nd, 2009. It includes the return of Halloween collectors, the redecoration of Lion's Arch, Kamadan, Tomb of the Primeval Kings, and Droknar's Forge, and the return of Mad King Thorn who once again will terrorize the populace with 'hilarious' jokes while at the same time rewarding them with special holiday treats, this year with some brand-new quests. This event is similar to the past events of Halloween 2005, Halloween 2006, Halloween 2007 and Halloween 2008. He'll be making many appearances so be sure to get one of the special hats!

Mad King appearances
The Mad King will visit Kamadan and Lion's Arch on October 31, 2009. Participants in each city will be awarded a different mask, so visit both!
