== Welcome to Halloween 2011! ==
::''The leaves have turned. The air is chill.'' 
::''Spectral fiends do what they will.''
::''We light a candle, draw the shades,'' 
::''And hope it's just the light that fades.'' 

::''Can ancient bonds still hold back doom?'' 
::''Is there no everlasting tomb?''
::''Should we help break the Mad King's yoke?'' 
::''Are we a punchline in his joke?''

::''Let's robe ourselves in others' guises,'' 
::''Dodge the tricks, and seek out prizes,'' 
::''Risk our souls for passing fame,''
::''And pray that this is just a game.''

|'''Halloween Hats Encore!''' 16 November 2011

This past Halloween, many Guild Wars players on the East Coast of the USA were unable to participate in the big holiday finale and missed out on this year’s festival hats. To address the situation, two Halloween Hat NPCs will appear in-game from Nov 17 through Nov 24. Find [[Aahtan]] in Kamadan or [[Erulis]] in Lion's Arch to exchange Halloween items for this year's hats!

== Guild versus Guild ==
NPCs in [[Guild versus Guild]] have their models altered as follows:
{| {{STDT}}
|-style="background:#F4A460;"
! Model || NPC || Model || NPC
|- 
| [[File:Skeleton ranger.jpg|50px]]
|
* [[Archer]]
| [[File:Zombie Horseman.jpg|110px]]

* [[Bodyguard]]
|-
| [[File:Skeleton warrior.jpg|50px]]
|
* [[Footman]]
* [[Knight]]
| [[File:Mad King Thorn.jpg|90px]]
|
* [[Guild Lord]]
|}
The opposing Guild Lord drops 10 Trick-or-Treat Bags for each player of the winning team when he dies. To prevent exploitation, no rewards are offered if (a) the match ends after 28 minutes without either side killing a Guild Lord or (b) the battle ends in under 5 minutes (e.g. due to one team [[resign]]ing or [[zoning]]).
