Out of curiosity as far as the Halloween update goes with that be strictly a festival update or will it be more like the first content update? I’m asking because while you guys have said that your goal is to deliver more content updates then the average MMO company you have never given a specific time frame or how often you plan to add content updates. And I personally think that Halloween is the perfect time to add such an update. Now it might be too early for such an update which is perfectly fine, but can you at least give a general timeframe for about how long we can expect to wait for each content update and maybe when we can expect to see an official announcement on what exactly the Halloween update will include? Thanks in advance!

All of the additions in this Shadow of the Mad King release except for the Halloween holiday stuff itself will permanently stay in the game, yes.

If you want to catch the Halloween stuff, you’re going to want to make sure you’re here for the holiday festival! It comes in acts, so check in on a regular basis over the course of the week after the release goes live!

I just wanted to clarify a couple of things regarding Costume Brawl and some concerns we’ve seen:

  • It may be called ‘Costume Brawl’, but it’s not like the Costume Brawl in the original Guild Wars.
  • While it does take advantage of Gem Store related items, players will still be able to participate in Costume Brawl even without spending gems.

As a teaser: think Boxing Gloves, but taken up a few more notches.

We will have more details about Costume Brawl soon, so stay tuned!
