'Guild Wars 2' Gets A Nightmarish Expansion This Halloween With 'Shadow Of The Mad King'

Alongside a week-long Halloween extravaganza, the MMORPG will  “continue to evolve” according to the developer, with new jumping  puzzles, events, mini-bosses and so forth.

During the week-long Halloween event,gw2 gold players will be able to buy  special Halloween costumes, join in the Costume Brawl, play  new mini- games, and adventure through an all new story in four acts.

“Halloween has a long history in Tyria, and in times past was always  marked by the spirit of Mad King Thorn cavorting among the people  unleashing his own brand of insanity,” ArenaNet’s update reads. ” However, it’s been over 250 years since he was last seen, and for most  people he is merely a figure of folklore.”

The release notes continue:

“Festivities are afoot, and Tyria will be transformed with  decorations, new mini-games, new dynamic events, and more. Despite the  celebrations there are those who dread the coming of Halloween and all that it may bring, for it is the time of year when barriers between the  realms are weakest. Be prepared for an epic adventure in four acts  starting October 23 and running until October 31.”

As you can see, they’ve already begun teasing with lovely new  Halloween concept art. Guild Wars 2 does an especially good job at  showing off its concept art, though I can’t help wishing each time I  see a new spread that the game itself looked a tiny bit more like it  does in its concepts.

I’m not one to often participate in this sort of MMO event, but I’ll  be following the new storyline the last week of October. New content  that goes beyond the week’s festivities should also be fun.

For me,buy Guild Wars 2 gold boils down to this: it’s simply a very, very good  deal.

Subscription fees have always kept me at arm’s length from most MMOs,  and the free-to-play model is often (though not always) an even less  satisfying experience.
