This is one day only, yes?

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Not to be rude, but it's a simple yes or no.
Do the costume badges from a few years ago finally have the right badge art?

I'm unfortunately going to guess no, since the art didn't show up on Badge-Hunter.com. Someone posted the art for all the Halloween badges to be released with this event (included in the Issue 16 publish), and there were no new graphics for the costume collection badges.|

That's not to say that they couldn't show up in a patch between now and the start of the event, but they weren't in there when Issue 16 launched.

Well last year the doors were not spawning the Ghost/Spirits like they were supposed to and the report was that it couldn't be fixed at the time. Here's hoping that has been fixed. |

Wouldn't mind seeing Mummies spawn from the doors or something resembling Frankenstein's monster.
The upgrade I'd live to see is the Hero/Villain zone alert channel be able to broadcast "eochai has spawned <insert zone name here>" and "Jack has spawned <insert zone name here." Also that we could open our map and see a glowing red dot like we get with the burning building of Steel Canyon and the Troll raves in Skyway that show the location of the GM.
Since it doesn't appear to be running all month long, any clues on how long this event will last? I wasn't exactly a fan of 31 days of darkness (costume contests are a pain, and seeing _anything_ redside is nearly impossible) but I was _really_ hoping for at least ToT starting today...
I doubt it will start until after the double xp weekend.

This. Last time I checked, the game can't do two events at once. Perhaps it will run a bit into November and then we jump into Xmas event?

The testing of the Halloween event will occur on Friday, today we're suppose to be given (as the underlined states) 'more details'.

The event usually runs for 10 days I believe, starting on a Friday at 12:01 AM and ending the following Monday with server maintenance. We're probably looking at Friday, Oct 23rd for a start date and having it run through Monday, November 2nd.

my only concern is that last year some of the spawns were bugged(too low),and the DEVs were too busy working on the upcoming issue to spend the time to fix the mobs. well it is now a year later,any bets on bugs?

Rabid Bunny 1 Person VG
Both on Pinnacle

Definitely looks to be different than in the past, and fun, too.

I'm actualy not sure this is a good thing and probably won't bother. I have few enough reasons to go on live these days and I suspect that seeing the new event on test is likely to mean I won't be bothered to log in when it goes live. Rarely have these events held my interest for longer than a day.

Blah!!! not me i have to work an extra shift so wont be on until Sat morning
So does the accolade actually do anything useful? Or is it at least more than just a badge?
I hope this is significantly different than before. The Halloween and X-Mas events have become very old and tired now. Slight twists don't really make them better.

Currently just another cool shiny. Nice artwork on the new badges.

I have a hunch the X_mas event will get another update this year, I just hope no new ski courses are added. The two ski courses are enough. |

Give Baby New Year a facelift so that he doesn't look like Dr Evil's mini clone and throw in something extra so that we don't need to kill Snaptooth ad nauseum.

You refer to the Spirits spawn rate during ToT last year. So far this year, spawn rates all appear to be in working order.

Can a Red Name varify if the old costume badges are getting badge art this time?
