Halloween MMO Treats!

Halloween!  Oooo!  Scary!  And all across the MMOashpere there are events, quests and celebrations to mark the occasion.  Below is a hefty sampling of those events, presented in no particular order, because it would be bad form to show favoritism.  (And also because I’ve got like thirteen pages of event announcements to talk about and if I don’t do it soon, I’ll be the last of the living meat-sacks left in the building when the zombie hoard arrives.)

And so, without further eloquence…

BioWare announces that in Warhammer Online there are eight tasks to complete their Daemonball Rally Quest.  In Ultima Online players have the chance to bay at the moon (but hopefully not wee on the rug) as werewolves in the Ancient Hellhound Encounter.  And over in Dark Age of Camelot the Ghostly Harvest Quest is available for characters level 45 and over.
