Fun Events in October... MMO Halloween Event List!

No matter which MMORPG you play it seems just about all of them offer really fun things to do in October. It's always this month that I wish I was playing this or that game. So many fun things to do for Halloween in so many games!

It's always nice to have something different to do. In-game events are always a special time indeed. Here's a few games that have caught my eye with some really cool things to do this Halloween Season! I will include official links for each event listed. I'm sure I may miss many other good games, these are just a few I've kept tabs on this year.

World of Warcraft: Hallows End. Oct 18th-Nov 1st. This is one of my favorite events in any game. It offers daily quest, an instance boss just for this event, achievement with title. Just tons of other cool little things such pumpkin pets, jack-o-lantern hats and holiday mounts.

Everquest 2: Nights of the Dead. Haunted house in Qeynos and Freeport. How cool is that? New holiday collection. New Headless Horseman in Nektulos Forest. Purchaseable costume illusions. Upon many more fun things to do.

Everquest: Currently they have not listed the in-game events yet, you can find them here when they do. This game always has a lot of fun things to do. Random zombies which drop event loot, raids for the holiday, costumes and candy! This has always been another favorite event of mine. S.O.E. also has many holiday challenges at the provided link with some chances at some cool stuff! Update: Zatozia says this event will begin October 24th!  Update* You can find "The Haunting in Norrath" in game now, more information can be found here.

Runes of Magic: Halloween Celebration in Taborea! They went all out on the website with some cute decorations! For in-game events they have listed; "We have planned small, in-game events such as 'Hide-n-Seek', 'Your Scary Costume', and 'Offer to the Goblin King' (on Tuesday & Friday) and big, weekly community events, so check back often for updates." So be sure not to miss out on those which I'm sure will be much fun!

Free Reams: First Annual Super Spooktacular. October 14 through November 11.Trick or Treating, decorations, costumes, new battle instance and the Halloween wheel! Sounds like fun! You can keep tabs on in-game events checking in here. Very exciting for FR players! Also check the ZAM wiki and here is a list of things to do from the FR forums.

Guild Wars: Horrorween! This event was always a really fun one. The offical site links here for more information and a contest. It has event times listed which is really cool. Lots of cool items and Halloween fun all around and chances to win cool items in-game. So be sure to pop in if your a GW fan!

LOTR: Play Halloween for free if you've been gone! During The Lord of the Rings Online™ Welcome Back Week from October 15th through October 21st, you can play your old characters for free and get a +25% XP Bonus. Pretty cool and I thought worth noting. However all I seem to find for this season so far is the pumpkin carving contest, and one lucky winner will win one million copper (10g).

Champions Online: Bloodmoon! New Power Set: Celestial! Players will have the chance to join the Wolf Hunters and rid the land of the abominable Werewolves. However, falling to one of the beasts will force you to rise under the curse and become one yourself. Zombie Apocalypse- A brand new PvP map. Chances to unlock some event-exclusive perks! Very cool ones indeed. Also special action figure toys as rewards. A very nice holiday event indeed!

Maple Story: Haunted House 2. It seems new rooms added to the Halloween mansion this year. New monsters! Check the link for the preview.

Wizard 101: Hallowe'en has arrived in the Spiral! Rescue Wizard City from a ghastly spell by defeating the Baron Mordecai. Search out Jack O'lanterns throughout Wizard City. Dunk for apples to collect prizes. I just might have to revisit this game just for this event.

Warhammer Online: Daemon Moon Rising! Players can also don their masks and participate in "Wake the Dead", a special running of the High Pass Cemetery RvR scenario available to characters of all tiers during the Daemon Moon Rising live event. Looks like a lot of fun things to do, check the site out to see what is in store.

Aion: (O-M-G I am so excited about this one!) Harvest Revel October 25 to October 31. "Asmodians find soothing peace during the dark days of the Harvest Revel. They celebrate by racing after the Wild Kurthanir hunt leader during the Wild Hunt and cooking special traditional dishes. Elyos endure the dark days because during them the dead of Elysea are restless. Undead creatures rise from the grave every few hours, pulled back into a semblance of life by the power of the eclipse. Elyos must join roving Dark Night bands to hunt and destroy the undead before they invade Elyos villages. Log in each day during Harvest Revel. Celebrate with us and every day rewards your investment with new Aion lore and tasty treats!" That is what the official site has listed, I can't wait for this to begin!

Star Wars Galaxies: The Galactic Moon Festival!October 20th to Movember 17th. Jabba the Hutt is throwing the annual Galactic Moon Festival to celebrate the happy haunts of the season.

If you're in a trick or treating mood, obtain a costume from the Galactic Moon Festival Organizer and approach any poor unfortunate souls hanging around Mos Eisley and Moenia.
