Halloween Events 2011

I said in the previous post that I was only going to talk about one game per post now, but this post is more-so about what all the games I play seem to be doing for their Halloween event, and my thoughts about them for this year.

Kingdom of Loathing - This year's Halloween event is much like last year's Crimbo (Christmas) event, where it's in the clan dungeons, making it a more social, community cooperation event to get all the items for everyone participating. This time, it's a completely new dungeon instead of it being a part of Hobopolis like Elf Alley was. It takes place in the Haunted Sorority House. The girls of the sorority Sigma Lamda Upsilon Tau are all dressed up in sexy costumes... I guess.. ? but they all seem to be upset... and undead. They are all either one of the following: Zombie, Skeleton, Ghost, Werewolf, or Vampire. Defeating them can get you some unique items from them if the haunted house is spooky enough via closing the blackened windows, turning up the boombox that plays an assortment of spooky sound effects, and turning up the fog machine as well. Doing so will make them stronger, but by making them stronger, it unlocks more items for them to drop when defeated. Among them are some (awesome) grade booze, a potion that gives an effect that changes your avatar appearance into one of the 5 undeads, unique, high leveled equipments, and some others. Once all of the sexy, undead sorority girls have been slain, you can fight the Necbromancer, the boss, who will drop outfit pieces, a chef staff, the Necbronomicon skill book, and some consumables like most clan dungeon bosses.

I nearly missed out on all this content had I not found another clan to join, since our clan was .. also undead in that most people were inactive, and our leader was an automated bot that would farm every day, but not really be active either. Without the leader's authority to open the clan dungeon, there was no way to open this in our own clan, unfortunately. Thankfully though, Robot Porn invited me to participate in his clan dungeon, which allowed me to get all the items from this event. o_o And fairly quickly too, thanks to all the help he got from people with the vampire fangs from the Mr. Store.

Ragnarok Online - Well, our server has an event, but their event tends to cater more towards higher leveled characters it seems. I was able to do it, but it felt annoying doing it even with my level 94/50 Rogue. It didn't feel like it was particularly fun, unfortunately, but at least I did get a special backpack and wings from the quest. Not much else to say about it though, other than that the rates are currently 7/7/3 at the moment, apparently. Kind of doubtful I'd bother with RO during other Halloween events are going on.

Guild Wars - ... Honestly, I don't know if there's any special quests are going on right now. I haven't even really bothered to check. ._. I did notice that I was getting Trick or Treat bags from monster drops however. Apparently I've also been missing out on Festival Hats too, but.. not sure if I have the storage space for these things. But it IS a free hat, I guess.

League of Legends - I'm... not sure if this is a Halloween Event thing, or if it's because it's League of Legend's 2nd anniversary, but I seem to have some IP Boost active for 10 games. Also, Festive Fiddlesticks looks awesome IMO, and it's a Legendary skin, which is cool. But... yeah. I doubt I'd be buying any Riot Points until I get a job or something. D=

Team Fortress 2 - Well now, free items just for logging on, previous Halloween activities with the Horseless Headless Horseman, and a new one too? Feels like so much is going on, and I really need to get in on the action here. There's even a new comic to boot. I fought Monoculus briefly, but the eyes it shoots out have some pretty good splash damage. It's killed me quite easily, even though I've avoided any direct hits from it. ._. Also, the free items I got were the Seal Mask, and Imp Wings for the Pyro.

I haven't really gotten enough time to check out what other events there are going on, but I have a feeling this is all I'm going to get to experience this year, since I have been working on these feathered wings that I agreed to make for Vicki's costume. ._. Once they're done, I plan to post some pictures here, even though I don't think it's as good as I had hoped it would turn out.
