What time is it tommorrow? Doesn't A-net realize it's Halloween in the real world too? I mean almost nobody stays home on Halloween, now one of the best events we've been asking for will probably happen when a lot of us can't even make it. Answeeerrrrrr this.

he'd have to be around for at least 24 hours... so that people in other parts of the world can see him too... also, people who work need to be considered. But.. I'm sure they thought of that

All Hallow's Eve = Halloween, not the eve of Halloween.

I have a fair amount of confidence that Anet will have this special event last at -least- 24 hours. Remember, they've got customers across the globe and thus, must provide the service equally to all.

I would imagine that it would start Midnight on Halloween on Anet's time, which if I remember is about 2 am my time (Central Standard US)

Lasareth is correct. All Hallow's Eve = Halloween = Oct 31 (Monday). All Saint's Day = Nov.1 (Tuesday). There is no eve of the Eve.

And thus far all of Anet's event have lasted for quite awhile; think the last one went on for a month or so.

Gaile was just in int d 4 & 2 saying that Halloween has already begun in Korea, and that the Mad King will appear and reappear throughout the whole day. This means all players will have a chance to meet him some time over the day/night.

Oh, bleh, that's sickening.

I don't stand around waiting for Gaile or the Frog for the same reason I doubt I'll be waiting for a Mad King. It's like the grind for this other MMORPG where you'd just right click and move once and a while to mine, and the entire experience was waiting for your inventory to fill with something worthwhile, which was rare.

Decided to check out LA before bed, an item for Halloween is a pumpkin head;

Apparently auto-customized, given by the Mad King.

Sigh, and I DO want one as a keepsake.

Bah! That armor sucks by itself, but it sure makes that pumpkin.
