Did I pull it off?  Was it close?  Everyone in the office instantly knew what/who I was and it instigated tons of gut busting laughter – so mission complete.  That alone would have been enough, but I ended winning the costume contest – so $50 worth of Olive Garden doesn’t hurt.

Having recently dusting off my Guild Wars account (still re-learning my characters as we speak) I was pleasantly suprised to get this press release that they will be having some interesting Halloween activities over the coming days.

In celebration of the Halloween Season, the Guild Wars team will be offering treats and may even have a few tricks up their sleeves for Guild Wars players. Between October 26 and 31, players can take part in a Costume Brawl dressed as famous Guild Wars characters, listen to the wandering Teller of Tales, collect peculiar and interesting Halloween-themed items, and enjoy two towns fully decorated to match the festive season. Every three hours on Halloween, gamers will enjoy a visit from the reigning monarch of the spooky season, Mad King Thorn, who will give each of his subjects a special memento of the season. For more information on all the Halloween events in Guild Wars, please visit www.guildwars.com, and on October 29, be sure to check out the 2007 winners of the Guild Wars Halloween Art Contest.

The Guild Wars franchise of online roleplaying games has sold over four million units in just over two years. Guild Wars: Eye of the North™ is the first expansion for the subscription-free franchise and features new characters, Heroes, items, and story content accessible to players who own any existing Guild Wars campaign. Eye of the North is now available at the Guild Wars In-Game Store, the PlayNC store (https://store.plaync.com), and at many retail locations. For more information, please visit www.guildwars.com.
