Guild Wars 2

Basically, will the Mad King appear this year? Previous releases of the Mad King and his labyrinth had been around about the same date as the proposed HoT launch

This is a good question.

I will assume it’s a re-run of the previous Halloween. Basically something for those who do not buy HoT to do, as well as us who has purchased HoT I guess, although it’s likely just a re-run of sorts, so how interested are we? New LA though, true enough. They can’t skip on the yearly Halloween event, just because they are bringing out an expansion, that’d be a travesty.

Since the release is so close to when they start doing halloween in GW2 my money is on some sort of a tie-in. It will probably be mostly existing content but in a few places (like LA being rebuilt) they need to change things anyway they will probably tweak the lore a bit. It is really anyone’s guess though.
