Nope. Only from the festival currently going on (and in most cases a few days after that from a collector)

Its not like kanaxei since you can dupe the hat as much you want for 10g per copy

I got the classic pumpkin crown, but miss a few others. They are not possible to get

Yup. Duping the Minipets back in the old days was apparently much cheaper .

Back OT:

As others haev said, it is not possible to get them for your account. The only way you can get teh old hats is to ask someone you know to make one for you. You will however not be able to show it to the hatmaker to unlock it or put it on yourself. The only thing it would be good for is as a Merchantstopper (Put it in your Inventory and place any valuable drops/Weapons behind it so you dont accidentally merch them).

well then, that's weaksauce

and it makes the game less enjoyable, in this respect, to the players who got guild wars later and missed out

personally i would love to have the witches/pumpkin hat again and if we could unlock the hats through the store(price of a costume?) i'd most certainly buy it.

I have every hat from every festival except those from the first Wintersday and those I do not want.

I suggest anet does a hat package of all the hats but made slightly different so they can be told apart from the ones given to player who were actually at the event.
Heck make them all bright yellow with Copy written across them for all I care as I wont be buying them.

But if its that important to some players and after a number of threads it seems it is then just do it.
If they threw in the glowing hands from the first Collectors edition even I might buy them as long as they were a different colour/effect from the original.

hi ur not a mod plzkthnx.

I have to say that I think if they did a festival hat unlock pack in the store, quite a few people would actually buy it. Sometimes it really is the little things in the game that people really cherish. I wouldn't care if they had a label saying they were a replica or whatever. Also, not much work would have to go into this as the designs are already there...
