I thought it was really fun. My entire guild (who left guild wars because it no longer appealed) got back on! It was crazy almost everyone was back on in the same dist loving the whole Mad King thing. We all went back twice durring the day getting our helmets back for our other characters and collecting items. Needless to say it was really fun. (Thanks devs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
But now what? The game is back to normal and just well a bit boring. I'm not saying we should always have elaborate decorations for Lions Arch, but we really need more events more often. There were almost 200 districts! It wouldn't hurt to have them more often and more creative ideas instead of 1 for every major holiday which is stretched out within the year. And it'd be cool if these events had somehting to do with the story rather then holidays alltogehter.
Halloween Event was great...Now what?

i agree, lions arch looks much better now then it ever did before, the game was rely fun, but quite repetative some times, i also think it should be avaible all year round.. incase you get bored of fighting for a while.

It probably couldnt be too often. I'm sure it takes a long time to create something like that.
ExplosiveBadger
No, I don't mean the same event over and over. That'd get pretty lame fast.

What I want now, is for LA to go back to normal. The mobs and lag in all of the districs just waiting for the king is annoying.
HE IS NOT COMING BACK! :crash:

Ok lets say: on selling the 4 special halloween items to a trader the Mad King spawns somewhere on the map outside the town... for your party only! He is surrounded by his elite guards and on slaying him he drops a super rare item! What about that? 
(does that sound familliar to anybody?)

Have special merchants drop into LA on occasions...like every weekend. He would sell fireworks, treats like the halloween items and items of clothing (but please let them have AL anet!).
I'd like to go hunting with a funny costume on and not take the extra damage. Please...

I think the halloween LA was great. Now that it is going, the best way to compensate for restoration of boring districs always looking the same, well dynamic weather.
Night and day would be awesome, and rain or high waters in LA would be cool.
Sandstorms in the desert, blizzards in the shiverpeaks, and even volcanic eruptions in the ring of fire, forcing everyone into reinforced towers or to die by lava.
Even with dynamic weather, they can do holiday stuff, and add more to it. For example, on christmas: Only at night do reindeer appear in the sky.
Anyway, I am rushed, i may have to edit this post to make more sense later.
I cant wait till christmas!

I personally would love to see some "limted time only" type quests, maybe only available over a weekend or something. The rewards dont have to be huge, make it something limted, something to remember the fact that the player/team participated in the event.
I envison a really challenging mission that is only open for 48 hours, and those guilds/teams/players (unsure which would be better) who complete it have thier names added to a landmark or monument or something...
either way, halloween was great and I hope the devs continue to bring fresh ideas into the game on a regular basis.

....or we could all say 'Thanks' and be glad that we play a game were the "dev team" is creative and kind enough to go to all that trouble and time to give us an extra little treat <--
once and awhile. They could just soak us for our 50+ dollars and leave us till the second chapter comes out.
I say, "Thanks ANet for the fun evening and a great game!." and leave it at that, knowing that they are always trying to create new ways to keep the game fresh and fun.
Has your Guild tried GvG?!

if they can overhaul lions arch with just a 2.5mb update, imagine what little changes could be made around the entire map...
What is more un-beleivable is that all this was FREEEE... I feel like there is a mistake somewhere, like I've just walked out of a shop without paying for something. I would have happily paid a few quid to help fund such an event.
Everyone seems to think there will be a christmas event, can A-NET pull something else off equally entertaining, free and at the same time develop Chapter 1?

I frickin' missed it. Damn you, ANet!

But, I wont be feeling TOO sorry for these people, as ANY loyal Guildwars fan would have known SOMETHING was going to happen this weekend.
and particularly to those who went off to play other games and didnt get a Haloween Event... (Like CoH).. I say..
HA HA!!! sux to be you!!
Now, How much are you willing to pay for my Items? xD

Just wait for Christmas 
Nealocus123
I don't think it fair that it only lasted one night. Holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Easter, (if you celebrate those) are meant to spend time with your family. I personally did not go on the computer at all during Halloween because I went to a party, and took my brother trick-or-treating, so of course I missed everything. I wish we could at least buy a pumpkin head...
widowdaballa
I don't wanna sound like an a-hole or anything, but it DID go on for 12 hours (every 3 hours). I think they coulda made it like every 2 hours or so. But yeah, people should be able to buy the pumpkin heads or whatever. I know the other items such as the brew, absynthe, ghost in box, and serum are still available for purchase even today by the horsemen in major cities.
I personally like that since that means that those items can't become super rare items like on other games that end up selling for 100k's or even millions for something that doesn't do much. Man, i love GW and it's money cap!!

i missed it too an did know it was happening and it was like 12:30 and he was doing the stuff then mom came in and shutdown my comp i was so pissed

I think the entire game should have the creative spooky appeal that lions arch does.

I can't believe how much better Tombs looked with the evil moon and the ghosts flying around.....it's sorta depressing, I went to Tombs this morning, it was same old Tombs, yellow sand, huge yellow sun, no ghosts.....
cup-o-noodles
I think it'd be cool if a giant monster raided a town or somthing. Just killing of millions of people with one touch. Sorta like gwen at the end of beta except defeatable. Somthing that with enough teamwork would finaly go down, and drop stuff for everybody. Or scavenger hunts, that be cool. Make the items not see-able with the alt button. I personally missed the entire event, because I've been away from home for like 2 weeks.

In the Manuscripts it talks about the seasons of the Zephyr, Phoenix, Scion, and Colossus, but in Guild Wars it really doesn't have anything relating to those, maybe a future update will get those in the game.

maybe they should do events like Envasion events live into the outpost Where the players are actually there an all of a hord of Undead or Charr or dragons or what ever Comes in an goes on a slaughtering spree.. and who ever kills most or Survies longest Get's prizes ..
heist23
that'd be fun. stick in a couple "battle districts" in each city for people to slaughter endless streams of charr/undead/dwarves in each of the major cities.
