Trick or Treat with NCsoft this Halloween!
Halloween’s coming! As zombies, werewolves and other frightful creatures roam the land, NCsoft is helping its players get into the spirit. Leading up to the holiday, NCsoft will feature frightening new in-game events, quests, costumes and contests across its portfolio of games, including Aion, City of Heroes, Guild Wars, Lineage and Lineage II.
Aion – Harvest Revel
The Harvest Revel is upon us once again! This year, the residents of Pandaemonium and Sanctum decided to treat their immortals with homemade treats and candy. However, in the ultimate Trick or Treat heist, a bunch of devious Shulacks have stolen the sugary, sweet lollipops and fled the two cities.
Now it’s up to players to find those crafty Sugarcrooks and teach them a lesson! Players will have to find the lollipops, confront the Shulacks and save the Harvest Revel. Every day during the event players will be rewarded for their efforts to save the Harvest Revel with Pumpkin King’s present boxes, pumpkin pouches and surprise boxes full of useful items such as manastones, enchantment stones, scrolls and more. Visit www.aiononline.com for more Aion-specific information.

City of Heroes – Not Even Pretoria is Safe from the Halloween Apocalypse!
Even the utopian, clean streets of Emperor Cole’s empire hide dangerous secrets this Halloween season. Those caught “Trick or Treating” and knocking on doors in Praetoria, the Rogue Isles and Paragon City may be greeted with treats such as temporary costumes or tricks such as rocks or unique monsters. And no area is safe enough to repel zombie hordes, as the nefarious walking dead that will infest Praetoria, the Rogue Isle and Paragon City this Halloween, lead by powerful monstrosities such as Eochai and Jack in Irons.
Meanwhile, along with new badges and accolades for 2010, Paragon Studios brings players a special Halloween-only Tip Mission which will start a new story arc… to recover a mysterious artifact known as the Malleus Mundi and a chance to decide its fate. Visit www.cityofheroes.com for more City of Heroes information.

Forget running from things that go bump in the night, you’re going to hunt them! Follow the story hints in the forums as they lead up to the monster-hunting Halloween Event. Players can use the Candle of Reminiscence to reallocate stats, hunt down monsters for their souls then trade them in for special Halloween-themed items. Watch out for tricks along the way as well, as players quest and conquer ghouls and monsters in their effort to obtain the Spartoi Doll. Visit www.lineage.com for more Lineage information.

Lineage II – GM Event: Trick or Treat
This year the treats come swiftly during the Halloween Event. While out hunting for tricks and treats, players may randomly encounter an elpy. Tell this elpy the secret Halloween phrase and be transported to a special room of elpies. Once there, players will undergo a Halloween transformation and for a limited time will be able to collect as much loot as they can! The loot will vary, but players will have the chance to walk away with fun, useful and valuable items. Visit www.lineage2.com for more Lineage II information
