ArcheAge players can enjoy their first in-game event: Hallowtide! Running through Tuesday, November 4th, the festival features decorated towns, a daily quest and cosmetic items.

Webzen has released their lineup of Halloween events for Archlord 2, MU Online and Continent of the Ninth Seal!

KingsRoad, the browser-based ARPG from Rumble Entertainment, will see the Soulstone in-game event hit the land of Alderstone today.

We've already heard about the Halloween event kickoffs for both the EverQuest and EverQuest II Nights of the Dead, but what's haunting SOE's other four games?

Nights of the Dead, the annual EverQuest II celebration of all things spooky, is slated to start October 9th on live servers. Your faithful ZAM staff have been risking their lives on Test to bring you dire warnings!

This year brings back all your favorites, from the Haunted Mansion to the Hedge Hollow. New this time around is a quest from Setri Lur'eth in Nektulos Forest, two achievements, and pumpkin bombs with prizes inside! See if you can get all the new collections and earn the right to be titled "The Pumpkin King!"

Should you need a hand to hold in the dark (or just want to know where gumdrops drop), ZAM's got it all. Start with our Nights Of the Dead Guide, and keep track of all your alts with our popular Nights of the Dead Quest Tracker!

Halloween is just around the corner and the spookiest month of the year has brought a wide variety of events to our favorite games. Join us as we explore the details of these frightening events.

It’s that time of year once again. Where clothes that have haunted the back of your wardrobe get turned into ghastly costumes. Where you run around like a werewolf after eating faaaar too much candy, before it reforms into ectoplasm and threatens to burst from your stomach. Where you drift like a ghost from party to party, before shambling home like a zombie after one drink too many. Or maybe that’s just me.

Either way, it’s probably safer to be in front of your PC and diving into your favourite online game. To get into the spirit of things, several MMOs have launched their own Halloween festivities, giving out rewards galore. If you’re looking to engage in a virtual candy shakedown, here’s the places where you can do it. And if you know of anywhere not on the list, sound off in the comments!
