Irony... Cantha is left out for once
CyberMesh0
If you haven't noticed, the News screen at the GW login splash has announced Halloween festivites... in Tyria and Elona. That's got to be Anet's first departure from Canthan exclusivity in I don't remember how long.
It's time for MAD KING SAYS!

Exoudeous
I dont think they are leaving cantha out on purpose. Im pretty sure tyria is only getting it because they already have halloween skins for it.
Oh a GW forum
Factions is dead to us all now. Screw cantha, I'm all about Tyria/elona.
hidden_agenda
well the Day of the Tengu festival anda couple of other things were Cantha only, so this only seems fair... 
Eviance
They are just trying to even out the odds OR they are just keeping with the theme of Cantha which likely doesn't do/participate in the Halloween type things.
kyro27
hell yes, tyria was the shit man in halloween
Sanji
Cantha is made of beggar shacks, plagues, and suck anyhow.
some guy
Wow, I'm glad I bought prophecies.
Two April Mornings
Yeah, cantha has their own rituals/events.
Wonder what will happen with wintersday--I'm thinking it'lll be just prophecies again, if anything.

I can't imagine some snow falling in Kaineng or Shing Jea, really.
But I have to agree that Tyria gets Halloween this year because they have the skins from last year so it's not to hard to tweak stuff here and there.

Further encouragement to purchase all campaigns... 
Former Ruling
Nightfall is coming out...Factions is no longer their little pet...no more events
The only reason Tyria gets any love is, like already said, it already has skins for Halloween so they don't have to make any.

Factions will continue to get the Dragon Festival, and likely will get Wintersday. Tyria is getting Halloween because it's a Tyrian event, the Mad King is Tyrian. Likely Elona is getting it to give the release for those that only bought Nightfall a bit of extra oomf.

Not really "irony" but rather as others have said, they are just "throwing Chapter 1 a bone" since the work for it is already done.
Probably new Factions events are done for good now.

Cantha sucked, I won't be visiting it for anything but my titles..
Arkantos
I don't like the fact that halloween will be in both Tyria and Elona. Oh well, I'd rather have this then nothing
Maria The Princess
actually i think that they are making the event in tyria as well because not EVERYONE maight be able to get NF on the first day, and C'mon, they realise this is THE MAIN game
and yes...cantha was bad... very bad. i personally want to hunt down the person who invented onis and force him/her to play trough the campign 6 times (like i did)..then lets see how he likes it! mwhahahaha
btw, Gaile said that they wont be repeating the same skins from last year

i like the fact they are holding it in tryia as well as elona, because firstly it shows that there not just trying to boast there sales up high by focing everyone to but nightfall to take part on haollween and demonstrates that A-net aren't the B******s i think they can be, and secondly i might provoke growth on the servers in tryia.
Fred Kiwi
and the collector count is at: 85 gargoyle skulls, 233 charr carvings, 27 stormy eyes, 78 orr emblems, 134 ornate grawl necklaces, 28 summit badges and 46 mantle emblems. BRING IT!
Slainster
i think events like halloween\wintersdays day should be spread across all chapters, rather than having them exclusively in one or another...
9th Requiem
How exactly is this ironic? Clearly, they'll have Elona, fristly since it's the new chapter, and secondly since who's going to spend serious time anywhere if they've just bought NF?
Since they've pre-empted possible problems with distribution (akin to Factions), or that some people will plan to wait to see what others think before buying NF, or people who just plain don't want it, they've allowed it in one of the existing areas, and happened to choose Tyria over Cantha. As ironic as rain on your wedding day.
Or maybe Canthans just don't believe in Halloween. It could happen.

Amity and Truth
Well, i can imagine quite a few people dancing in happiness. Those that were whining about Cantha getting all the events and poor Tyria being left out. Anyways, it's good to know he is coming back. It was really the most fun event with all the lines i'll never forget.
Like, typing:
"Woooaaah, awesome. Did you look at /boo? That new animation is great!"
And baaam, you have a full district of people all trying out /boo at the same time
Or:
"Mad King George says... do nothing"
"WTFz0R i typed as fast as i could!!!!!!!!!!"
Oh well, and i'm soooo getting the pumpkin head for all my chars again. This time i'll keep them all. Perfect for 605ing hehe :P

Smile Like Umean It
Halloween is a Tyrian holiday, no irony about it. And of course they're going to add Nightfall to the mix. They are afterall trying to sell the latest chapter. You know, like, how they did for Factions?

dont forget the ppl making elona = ppl made tyria
since its their department working on the theme, not the factions group.
easter next year you might see factions + chap 4 have a co-alligned event, that elona and tyria miss out on

^^ True, but I also thought the people making tyria were broken into two groups, one for factions and one for nightfall...
But I think that's a good possibility.

Also dont forget that the people who made Cantha were also half of the Tyria creation team.

I liked Factions, I just don't like a lot of the places it takes you through.
The Pointless
Cantha's pretty much my home in GW
I don't want to have to leave because everyone hated it.
And if you guys hate it so much, why do you even bother with Cantha still?

I think it's nice that they are having Halloween in Tyria. Day of the Tengu and Dragon Festival were Cantha specific, so I think they are just evening it out a bit. Of course they are going to have the event in Elona, it will help push the sales of the game a bit. Also, I can also completely agree with having certain event that are chapter specific. After all, the whole world doesn't celebrate all the same holidays, so its not that far fetched to have the same thing in the game.
As for the topic that Factions sucks....no it doesn't, it's just different. If it doesn't suit your play tastes, move on. There are people that prefer Tyria, people that prefer Cantha, and people like me that like both. Cantha is a nice change of pace from the wide open, rolling space of Tyria. Just my thoughts.

I mostly make cracks about Cantha because I disliked Kaineng City. I don't hate it with a passion or anything, but I feel it deserves a ribbing whenever the chance presents itself.
This topic happens to fit the bill.

I would guess it is becuase of the relationship that Tyria and Elona have together by the Crystal Desert after beating Factions with my Tyrian char.s I now keep them closer to there mostly Droks.The reason is that Ascalon is still hasn't recovered.I keep a Rit is Cantha although I amy delete as I am just trying it out.

I was never bashing Cantha, I enjoyed it to an extent. But I was just glad to see some attention return to Tyria for once.

Another Halloween thread got closed because it was pre-empted by this one, but I was ignoring this one because it was so anti-factions. I just don't get it. Kaineng is way more interesting than post-searing. Dust and devourers - where's the fun there? I quit the original GW after 2 or 3 months - if a relative hadn't seen it on my shelf, assumed I was into it and bought me Factions for my birthday, I wouldn't be playing now. I love Factions - for all it's flaws, it's just not as much of a chore to play as Prophecies. Oh, and the idea that it's going to just die - I've been to outposts where there's just one other player in Tyria - I've yet to see that in Cantha.
But each to their own, I suppose.

Or... they will just make the real-world/(more or less)-universal celebrations alway in the last chapter and in the original campaign(wich i hope they will).
That would seem fitting since Proph is THE original Guild Wars.
(before any one say it, I dont think proph is better than faction/NF, i'm just saying it is the original game of GW)
