Very impressive grasshopper Daniel. ^_^ This looks to really be quite the event! Very well done, organized to the last detail and looks quite fun to boot!!

Best of luck during the event, and I will try my best to pop in for a visit.

The schedule doesn't appear to have been updated yet - will it be similar to last year? In particular, I need to know when the Queen's joke contest is on so I can crush the future minions^W^W^W^W defend my title!

Would have liked to be more involved in this year's Horrorween, but project deadlines + moving house means I've barely even logged into GW in the last month. Still, it'll be good to see everyone again.

Was great to host a district! Had a fun Candy Corn circle (perfect circle and sync on the third - or was it fourth - try!) on the ship around the mast, had 7 winners to costume contest (third place for female gave up the prize, so a fourth place was made), pumpkin bobbing along the coast, dual circles of ghosts at the circle near the crafters, ghosts' ahoy on the ship, and Ghostbusting (aka Phantom Tag).

It was fun hosting - sad that this is the last horrorween.

Too bad i loose the raffle ;(
62 - 20 were picked, congrats to them
I only deplore that the timing of the raffle has been hold secret it was really frustrating so "forced" to follow the event 7 hour long ! waiting for the raffle
Some game were fun (the emote game when it say stop really stupid but fun), catch a rabbit (3 time he ask me to not catch him again), and the final event with an RP story cool (execpt i get a error 7 at the end when running for spiritwood).
So i will not cry here cause you made a lot of job here and thank you, but i honnestly think taht keeping secret about raffle, the big show that bring more people on this, was just abusive from you.

Found it very fun, specially the costume contests and the candy corn syncs
Finally managed to partecipate to a wicked ritual, can't wait to see the video konig is going to do about this one XD
Pity both Daniel and malafide don't plan to host anymore events
Thank you very much to everybody: Malafide, Daniel, Konig, Ash, all-the-others-who-hosted-but-I-forgot-names, donators and guests!

Fun night. I was Ash, the catering mini glo monk running around in district 1. Thanks to everyone for making this an awesome night. I only told Dan I'd help him hand out a few drinks and things and I ended up being chased THREE TIMES, bopped on the head repeatedly and I helped judge a contest! (It REALLY was hard picking costume winners!)

Three cheers for Dan, Malafide, all the hosts, all the helpers, all the people who kindly donated their own little things to random people and to the event. Congrats to the winners, commiserations to those who weren't so lucky and to everyone else I missed off this list! /cheer /cheer /cheer.

I fall over go boom now. I look forward to videos and pics that appear over the next few days!

I must say I really enjoyed this! I was floored when I won Dist 3's costume contest.

Thanks to Malafide and Daniel and all their staff/helpers/etc for making this as fun as it was.

Great Party. Lots of funny games, and priceless moments (Mad Queen Malafide being picked for the Rock-Paper-Scissor game by the Mad King Thorn). I couldn't stay for the last part of the party, but I guess was as fun as the rest.

I was surprised to win 1st Place in Costume Contest, since I still believe I can bring more improvements to my costume.

I was expected more trolls to the party, but luckly we only got very few. Great Party! Congrats to our hosts for a great party! Grats to the winners!

Gah, I only got to participate a little bit (I am REALLY glad I turned down hosting a district!). It was a lot of fun though what little bit I was there for.

It was nice to be there again this year-but this time with much less lag! Thanls very much Daniel-im sure your getting some well earned sleep right now, along with your faithful companion Mad Queen Malafide. Both of you did a great job with the event, and you definietely enhanced the atmosphere of the event greatly. It was also nice to see King Frozenwind come from the Ice Planes after his recent victory over Dhuum in the Underworld. Thank you again.

Thank you Daniel and Malafide for another wonderful event, and for all you've done for the community all these years. In addition, thank you Daniel for the honor of being a part of your staff once again. [TEN] and I had a great time hosting D2 yesterday, even if there were some minor confusions here and there, it was an overall great time and I do hope the people that found themselves in D2 enjoyed the activities and the prizes and such.

Also wanted to thank Dj Kelli for the support, it was very very helpful. <3

I'm gonna miss your events guys, but you've earned some good rest.

Thank you both for letting me take part in your last event, I had fun with Konig, The Swyft Clan and Fumie. Too bad I have found my talent in catering a little too late, but the event was excellent.

I shall miss you both!

Excellent event guys - hope you're getting some well-earned rest. Can't believe I got 2nd-place in the district 1 costume event - I almost didn't bother entering.

Sad to see you go, hope to see you attending the festivals in the future.

This was my first horrorween and i found it a great event.
Tanx to everybody who hosted and helped at the event and especially to Mad Queen Malafide and Daniel Frozenwind.

Sad to hear that this would be the final horrorween you both have hosted.

But it was a great party :-)

I'm glad everyone had such a great time, and I want to give a very special thanks to Gaile Gray, who attended our event in her own time. Thank you Gaile, we are so happy you could make it.

Also thanks to the huge amount of people that joined our party. Without you, the community, these events would not have been possible.

Thanks to the great entries in the art contest. I will cherish each and every art piece you all made of us.

Yes, it is true that this was our last event. Daniel Frozenwind and I have been hosting events for many years now, and it is a lot of work. So it seemed like a good idea to stop right after a really succesful event (always stop at the peak of success right?). Besides, I think Daniel would also like to play the game every now and then. This doesn't mean you've seen the last of us though. We'll still be dropping in every now and then to attend the events of others, and yours cruely will certainly be back for Guild Wars 2.

I do not know what will become of our Halloween and Wintersday events. Maybe someone else will step in and continue them, or maybe someone will host a whole new event during these holidays. We'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks to Linsey I think Daniel will not soon be forgotten, now that he got an npc of his own in the Underworld. But I ask you to remember both of us when Guild Wars 2 is released. Because we'll be back.

For now the Queen returns to the Underworld. But should Tyria need me I shall be there to fight alongside you against Dhuum and his minions. After all, I owe that to my God and to Tyria itself. Maybe we'll run into each other in Lion's Arch some time.

Unfortunately, events are very hard to organize these days, and in addition, if you aren't that into the game anymore, it becomes very, VERY difficult to sustain ambitious thoughts for a large community driven event. After creating and hosting 3 years of events, I burned out too. The fact is, while the events are fun, they are still tedious and horrible to organize.


On that note though, I am glad to see that almost everyone seemed to have a great time. Sorry I didn't make it, but I took my 4 and 8 year old cousins out to Trick or Treat. Still, I am thrilled that your last event was a success Daniel.

When GW2 launches, I am hoping to organize a very large event with Malafide and Daniel. One for the ages, so to speak. ^_^

I'm looking forward to organising it with you, even if it is still quite some time away.

Great event guys. Sadly I had problems with my pc, so I didn't see much of it, but I did win a 3rd prize in one of the costume contests though (I have too much stuff already however, so I turned down the prize - hope it made someone else happy though)

Heh, that's the second halloween in a row that I miss the masks due to pc trouble though. Ah, well - maybe next year.

Anyway, congrats to the raffle winners and thanks for arranging all the little contests and for giving me an excuse to spend a few hours in Lion's Arch. Again
