Warhammer Online Halloween in-game event begins Thursday


MMO developers seem to love Halloween as many of them hold special in-game events to celebrate everything scary and frightening. Warhammer Online may be the new kid on the MMO block but EA's Mythic team isn't using that as an excuse to get out of celebrating All Hallow's Eve. Beginning tomorrow they will hold their first major in-game event.

The event, titled The Witching Night, looks like its an excuse for everyone to wear masks (as illustrated by the above screenshot). Four new public quests will be added to the game during the event and apparently ghosts and witches will be roaming the lands as well. Special in-game items like masks and cloaks will also be offered as part of the event.
