Klarion
the Witch Boy has returned to the DC Online
Universe and is intent on wreaking some serious havoc upon its citizens
during
this year’s
href="https://www.dcuniverseonline.com/news/archive/witching-hour-halloween-event-2013-october-10-dc-universe-online">Witching
Hour… not to mention
those pesky superpower types that are always messing
things up for him. Since he’s trying to steal the magic of
everyone in Gotham
City, it behooves players to do everything they can to stop him, no
matter
which way their good/evil pendulum swings.

Want
to get a creepy costume without paying a single penny? Then
you’d better be hoping you’re playing Elsword
because that’s just the tip of the iceberg for this
year’s Halloween events. The team is continuing to roll out
more information as it gets closer to the magical date we’ve
all been waiting for. There will be more events and community contests
than ever before. Yay!

Just
as you’d expect, there are tons of different things
players can do this year in the
href="https://www.everquest.com/news/the-haunting-of-norrath-returns-starting-october-19-2013">Haunting
of Norrath event. Whether you
feel like helping The Gravedigger complete
his collection of tattoos (gathered from the flesh of
corpses… ewwww!), listen
to Grom Shives tell the tale of a legendary Dark Elf Warrior that stole
magic
from powerful beings, or want to go trick or treating, there are plenty
of
things to do.
style="width: 620px; height: 200px;" alt=""

A
haunted house, haunted mansion, headless horsemen… all
this is just the tip of the iceberg of the
href="https://www.everquest2.com/news/everquestii-nights-of-the-dead-2013">Nights
of the Dead event. Things are
going bump in the night! And the day. And
everywhere! Norrath is seeing an influx of ghosts and ghouls. Strike
while you
can and gather new loot from classic quest events this
year.

Final
Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn may have been born at
night, but it certainly wasn’t born last night. The
development team knew they
had to have an event ready for such a fun holiday and it looks like
they’re
ready to deliver with an event called
href="http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/000520.html">All
Saint’s Wake.
The lands are changing and it appears the cities with it! What does it
mean?
Time will tell, but I’m willing to bet it’s not
going to be purring cats and
rosy-cheek babies everywhere.

You
thought the Mad King was defeated… of silly mortal.
Not only is he back, but he brought along his son to add to the fun
– Edrick,
The Bloody Prince. He’s taken over the Mad King’s
Labyrinth and controlling the
Undead Armies of his father. I wish I had better news for you but
that’s just
the beginning of the madness about to descend upon the land in this
year’s
href="https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/october-15-2013/">Blood
and Madness event!
style="width: 620px; height: 200px;" alt=""

A
puzzle-filled dungeon, awesome cut scenes, new gear, and new bosses.
What's a girl (or guy) not to like? The Cursed Labyrinth has come to
Mabinogi
and it's up to the players to figure out this mystery
by banding together and setting things right. Get ready for the mystery
of a lifetime as you're transformed and transported to a haunted
mansion!
Be sure to visit the official Mabinogi website for more details on the Cursed Labyrinth event!

This
may not be a Halloween event in the traditional
sense, but if you’re a fan of Marvel Heroes, it’s
something too cool not to be
made aware of. For their Halloween event, the Marvel Heroes team is
releasing a
new Halloween-inspired costume each week. The first of these costumes
is a
href="https://marvelheroes.com/news/news-articles/special-halloween-costume-available">Brood/Wolverine
hybrid costume. In the original
comic series, Wolverine’s healing factor
saved him (and eventually all the X-Men) from the Brood’s
body snatching ways.
In this universe though, it was only partially effective and the
results are
definitely horror induced!

Werewolves,
Vampires, and other creatures go bump in the
night. What could it mean? Only the return of The Harvest Master, what
else?
Atrophinius may be lazy most of the year, but during the
href="http://community.riftgame.com/en/2013/10/09/autumn-harvest-returns/">Autumn
Harvest, he and his minions to
strip the land bare of everything he needs
to make his mead-induced concoctions. Help fellow players keep beetles
from
stealing harvests and from precious relics of Telara from disappearing
from the
land.

Last
year’s Cat God event will be making a return to this
Earth of an alternate universe. Not content to just reactivate old
content from
last year though, there will be a new line of quests added to
href="http://www.thesecretworld.com/news/game_director_letter_september_2013">this
year’s event. The
Stories of Solomon Island will reunite you with old acquaintances
while introducing new horrors at the same time. It should be a
scream!

Ever
wanted to have the head of a developer on a pike?
Well now’s your chance. The team behind UO has added this
item and other
special Trick or Treat prizes for
href="http://www.uo.com/article/Publish-83-TC1-August-30th-2013">this
year’s
event, but there is a catch
– you’re going to need to be the GMs to give
them to you. It sounds like a nightmare from here, but good luck! If
you don’t
feel like doing any begging, you’ll be able to find pumpkin
carving kits on
Butchers (hiding in graveyards) that will allow you to create one of
nine Jack
o’ Lanterns.

The
Headless Horseman makes his return in this
year’s Hallow’s End event, complete with epic loot
and grand adventures.
Fortunately for everyone, I’ve heard reports from some
friends that still work
for Blizzard that there are a number of daily quests that will grant
treats
that you can then spend on items you want instead of hoping for an uber
rare
item. Personally, I was never a fan of the old system, so I’m
looking forward
to this new method.
