• Made preparations for the final week of the Guild Wars Bonus Mission Pack Promotion. At approximately 12:01 AM (-7 GMT) on October 27, players will be able to check their Guild Wars account (using the in-game option "Edit Account") to determine whether they have qualified for the Bonus Mission Pack. Eligibility is not updated automatically. Account status will be updated periodically from Monday through Wednesday of next week.

• Fixed a bug that caused some Halloween NPCs to appear more than once.
• Fixed a bug that caused deaths in the Costume Brawl to be added to a character's total death count. This fix does not retroactively remove deaths incurred while the bug was in effect.
• Fixed a bug that allowed the Costume Brawl skills to be used outside of the Costume Brawl.
• Fixed a bug that caused the hunt rampage to display an incorrect duration in Hard Mode.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the snowmen in the Secret Lair of the Snowmen from using their Hard-Mode exclusive skills.
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to access Account Storage in areas that have no Xunlai Agents.
• Fixed a bug that occasionally prevented characters from receiving credit for kills in the Fissure of Woe quest "The Hunt".
• Fixed a bug that prevented players from reporting teammates for leeching while in Random Arenas and Alliance Battles.
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to have more siege devourers in their group than intended in some Eye of the North regions.
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to use Spirits to kill Polymock opponents.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Domain of Anguish bosses from spawning once the quest "Mallyx the Unyielding" had been completed.
• Fixed a bug in the Courtyard map of Heroes' Ascent that allowed the gate levers to open and close the gates faster than intended.
• Fixed a graphical bug that caused several character models and armor sets to appear as wireframes.

• The Xunlai Tournament House NPC has returned to the Great Temple of Balthazar, Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan to reward players with Tournament prizes.
• To more clearly distinguish items that are outside of combat range, the names of characters and items more than 1,000 feet away now appear in a dimmer color.

When sunlight wanes to shadow
And mists fill nights once clear
'Tis time to think of monarchs
Who visit once a year.

Hail, Thorn, the king demented,
Whose laughter fills the air
Where cunning gifts are given
With wit and deadly flair!

And as the season passes
Remember what you've seen
In Lion's Arch and Kamadan
On this good Halloween.
