Overview[edit | edit source]
The Halloween 2008 event runs from Friday, October 24th through Sunday, November 2nd, 2008. It includes the return of Halloween collectors, the redecoration of Lion's Arch, Kamadan, Tomb of the Primeval Kings, and Droknar's Forge, and the return of Mad King Thorn who once again will terrorize the populace with 'hilarious' jokes while at the same time rewarding them with special holiday treats.
