Halloween in the MMO’s

NCSoft’s MMO games will have their annual Halloween Events again this year which are sure to be loads of fun as usual. I picked up some cool Halloween Trick or Treat Bags in Guild Wars all ready today. Find out what’s happening in CoH/V, Tabula Rasa, Lineage 2 and Guild Wars here…

• City of Heroes/Villains: Halloween 2007: Trick or Treat! This event started on Oct. 22 where the big feature this year is Classical Costumes, which allows heroes/villains to “Trick” up as all sorts of civilians/enemies/villain groups in the game. For example, one may be able to dress up as a Coralax Minion, a Paragon Protector or even a Vahzilok Eidolon.. They’ll also get special new badges if they collect the most Costumes. Like There will also be numerous Halloween-related evil monsters and some bosses lurking about.

• Tabula Rasa: During the Head Start, players can do special missions and collect one of nine Halloween masks to keep. Starts on October 31. To get into the head start players need to purchase a pre-order box. (see attached screen shot).

• Lineage II: Starting on Friday, October 26 is the “Trick or Transmutation” event, where players must find keys to unlock mysterious Alchemist’s Chests. There’ll be all sorts of cool, valuable and rare items, some of which have never appeared in L2 before. (see attached screen shot). For more information go to www.lineage2.com.

• Guild Wars: The Halloween event is the return of the Mad King.Joined by his entourage of ghoulish cohorts, Mad King Thorn will entertain visitors with his cornucopia of mini-games and new jokes, and will reward participants with a variety of special Halloween items, starting Friday, October 26th until 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on October 31st. During the event, adventurers will notice that the Tyrian port of Lion’s Arch and the Elonian port of Kamadan shine with an otherworldly glory befitting a king. Once again, the maniacal monarch has decided to grace both cities with his ghastly presence and will reward his loyal subjects (and party participants) with prizes and a special Halloween gift.
