I'll agree, the decorations got old a day or two BEFORE halloween, I definately don't want to see them afterwards. The more I see them the more I'm reminded at how they had time for all THAT, and I'm still waiting to see my updated 15k tormentors set.

I quite agree, Halloween is over. About time things got back to normal - at least until Christmas.

You have to draw the line somewhere, and since the decorations have been up for a week, 27,28,29,30,31,1,2 (dates) it's been about the usual online event duration.

The decorations are just annoying now. Pretty please bring back the old LA and Droks. Also, Please limit the chiming background music to the Shiverpeak areas. It really seems out of place on the fire islands and Ascalon.

I agree. Change them back. But...........

Let’s not sound like we didn’t appreciate all the Halloween festivities. It made me farm char carvings just to get cool (but useless) items, just for fun! I’m sure it made a lot of people get back into the game again. The mad king was just awesome too. Yeah, it’s getting old seeing as its been a few days after Halloween, but I would definitely deal with the decorations up for a few days too long if it means the same treatment for Christmas.

I agree 100%. A huge amount of effort went into it and has raised the bar for future events.

It has got me thinking tho. If a one day event lasts 7 days. then the 12 days of christmas should last 84 days I.e the decorations will go on around the 19th of March...

Yeah, I'd like to hear the original music as well, though since they "expanded" the soundtrack all it has been is two shiverpeak tracks (for me, at least).

But anyway, it'd be nice to see some green again without having to step through the portal.

Christmas area in GW? the south shiverpeaks. more to the point, Marhans Grotto.

Then why are we are forced to celebrate Halloween? which is a american holiday to begin with.

Basically since A.net has people in the UK I don't see the issue with setting off some fireworks in the game, does it hard your gameplay in anyway? I guess not.

I would love to be able to buy my own fireworks and set them off when ever. Would be a huge gold sink, a lot of fun and may even have a practical use. I've used firestorms before to act as a flare for lost party members when they are out of radar range so why not firework distress flares...

It will be interesting to see what other holidays get celebrated. For example new year, christmas, easter etc. Personally I would rather have Tyrian based holidays than ones related to real life. After all not everyone celebrates Christmas, Halloween or even Bonfire night. Of course the tyrian one could correspond with real dates..

Some silly examples off the top of my head
Frog Day - The Annual celebration of the first apperance of the Great Frog Of Tyria.
Patron God Days for each of the professions Mesmer, Warrior etc

In short lets make our own caldender...

FYI... All Hallow's Eve/"Halloween" isn't the same date everywhere in the world. Here in Sweden, for instance, Halloween is 5/11.

EDIT: I support the creation of in-game holidays, e.g. Frog Day.

I actually prefer the decorations. I know they won't be here forever, after all they are just decorations, but I can wish can't I? I find the lighting, or the lack of it I should say, soothing.

keep tombs tho, besides the annoying flying ghosts and the two giant cauldrons, tombs actually looks better with halloween theme.
