Trick or treat!


Hallow's End is a celebration of the break between the Forsaken and the Scourge and in a lot of ways it resembles another tradition called Halloween. They both have the pumpkin theme, the masks and the trick or treating.

Halloween is originally an Irish tradition. Ive never celebrated Halloween myself since the tradition only recently came to Denmark - though any tradition involving lots of candy are more than welcome to me! However i have celebrated Hallows End before and im getting all nostalgic these days since this was my very first wow event! I joined the Horde and TIger a year ago so last Hallows End i was running around Silverpine Forrest...ah those where the days :) And i found it so amazing that the world of warcraft resembled rl in this way. THere arent really seasons in wow but with things like Hallows End and Valentines Day you still feel how the year passes by in wow as well.

Anyway, i remember i used a lot of time last year on getting bobbing apples and i trick and treated everytime i could! I got as much possible out of that event last year thats for sure. To me it was just amazing that u could dress up and i had loads of fun with it. When xmas came i had equal fun with snowballs and making rein dears - not to forget the mistletoe ;)

Besides the above mentioned features theres also the Wickerman Festival outside Undercity. At 20.00gm they set a wickerman on fire and if you click him it will give you a very nice buff that increases your xp and reputation earned by 10% for 2 hours! At the festival an undead lady called Yanka encourage you to throw stink bombs and rotten eggs at Southshore...but who needs encouragement for that sort of thing ;) While you are there be sure go visit Brill to see the Headless Horseman who is a new feature this year.

He flies around and sets building on fire and you can help the people in Brill by throwing water at the fire when he arrives. While you wait you can even practice your skills in firefighting! In doing so you will be rewarded with a tasty pumpkin that has a rather funny effect on you ^^

If you think you can defeat the Headless Horseman you can summon him from the Scarlet Monastary graveyard and if you succeed there are some special treasures to get! Ive done it ;)

Hallows End lasts until the 31th October and if you wanna know more about the features, look here
