Current release: Shadow of the Mad King
Spooky comes, spooky goes! Get ready, everyone. The black wind blows!
It's time for the annual halloween festivities! Flock to Lion's Arch as the Mad King returns from the Mad Realm and pay homage to his madness from October 5 to November 9. Stuff your face (or your pockets) with Candy Corn, get lost in the Mad King's Labyrinth, ascend to madness or race against the clock in the Mad King's Clock Tower jumping puzzle or one of the mount races. Alternatively, be an entertaining subject and participate in the Lunatic Inquisition or Reaper's Rumble.
Just remember: your Mad King says... "Enjoy yourself!"
